We've invented VSH_OT_ALIAS type for --option so that we can rewrite some --options (e.g. fix spelling). For instance blkdeviotune command uses this feature heavily: --options-with-dash are preferred over old --options_with_underscore. Both versions are supported but only the new ones (not aliased) are documented and reported in --help. Except for options completer, which happily put also aliased versions in front of user's eyes. Note, there is a second (gross) way we use aliases: to rewrite options from --oldoption to --newoption=value (for instance --shareable option of attach-disk is an alias of --mode=shareable). And just like with the previous group - don't generate them into the list of possible options.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
