The domain XML now understands the <listen> subelement of its
<graphics> element (including when listen type='network'), and the
network driver has an internal API that will turn a network name into
an IP address, so the final logical step is to put the glue into the
qemu driver so that when it is starting up a domain, if it finds
<listen type='network' network='xyz'/> in the XML, it will call the
network driver to get an IPv4 address associated with network xyz, and
tell qemu to listen for vnc (or spice) on that address rather than the
default address (localhost).
The motivation for this is that a large installation may want the
guests' VNC servers listening on physical interfaces rather than
localhost, so that users can connect directly from the outside; this
requires sending qemu the appropriate IP address to listen on. But
this address will of course be different for each host, and if a guest
might be migrated around from one host to another, it's important that
the guest's config not have any information embedded in it that is
specific to one particular host. <listen type='network.../> can solve
this problem in the following manner:
1) on each host, define a libvirt network of the same name,
associated with the interface on that host that should be used
for listening (for example, a simple macvtap network: <forward
mode='bridge' dev='eth0'/>, or host bridge network: <forward
mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='br0'/>
2) in the <graphics> element of each guest's domain xml, tell vnc to
listen on the network name used in step 1:
<graphics type='vnc' port='5922'>
<listen type='network'network='example-net'/>
</graphics>
(all the above also applies for graphics type='spice').

README
libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* phyp/ - IBM Power Hypervisor using CLI tools over SSH
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* uml/ - User Mode Linux
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
* xenapi/ - Xen using libxenserver
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU, UML and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Power Hypervisor, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
