<h1 >Bindings for other languages</h1>
<p>
Libvirt comes with bindings to support other languages than
pure <strong>C</strong>. First the headers embeds the necessary
declarations to allow direct access from <strong>C++</strong>
code, but also we have bindings for higher level kind of languages:
Libvirt supports C and C++ directly, and has bindings available
for other languages:
