What is ruby-libvirt?

ruby-libvirt provides Ruby bindings for libvirt. With that you can use libvirt directly from your Ruby programs:

   require 'libvirt'

   conn = Libvirt::open("qemu:///system")
   puts conn.capabilities
   
   File::open("domain.xml") do |f| 
     conn.createDomainLinux(f.readlines, nil)
   end

   dom = conn.lookupDomainByName("mydomain")
   dom.suspend
   dom.resume
   puts dom.xmlDesc
