<h1>Internal drivers</h1>
<ul id="toc"></ul>
<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.
