    <p>
      The libvirt public API delegates its implementation to one or
      more internal drivers, depending on the <a href="uri.html">connection URI</a>
      passed when initializing the library. There is always a hypervisor driver
      active, and if the libvirt daemon is available there will usually be a
      network and storage driver active.
