NAME

Sys::Async::Virt - LibVirt protocol implementation for clients

VERSION

v0.0.12

Based on LibVirt tag v10.9.0

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Async::Loop;
use Sys::Async::Virt;

my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $client = Sys::Async::Virt->new(url => 'qemu:///system');

$loop->add( $client );
await $client->connect;
my $domains = await $client->list_all_domains;

DESCRIPTION

This module manages access to a LibVirt service through its remote protocol.

The API documentation of this module and the related modules Sys::Async::Virt::* is meant to be used in conjunction with the documentation found at LibVirt's API reference. Since the C API is procedural whereas the Perl API is object oriented, the mapping of API entry points isn't one-to-one. Each entry point links to its C API equivalent on the libvirt.org site, enabling users to quickly find documentation. (Please report any broken links.)

An important difference with the C API is that this API only lists the INPUT and INPUT|OUTPUT (as input) arguments for its functions. The OUTPUT and INPUT|OUTPUT (as output) arguments will be returned in the on_reply event.

RUNNING AGAINST OLDER SERVERS

The reference LibVirt version of this module is v10.9.0. This means all API entry points have been implemented as they are declared in the protocol of that version (except for the ones listed in the section "UNIMPLEMENTED ENTRYPOINTS"). The consequence of a server being of a lower version is that some entry points will throw errors when being used, if not supported by the server.

RUNNING AGAINST NEWER SERVERS

The module can run against any version of LibVirt newer than v10.9.0; any new entry points in the API will not be available, but all existing APIs can be used as per the stability guarantees.

STABILITY GUARANTEES

The modules in this distribution are considered experimental, meaning that no interface guarantees are made at this time. However, since the protocol description from which most of the code is generated, changes are anticipated to be minimal. The more feedback the project receives, the sooner the project will be able to commit to the API as it is.

ASYNCHRONOUS INVOCATIONS

The API calls in these modules invoke remote procedure calls (RPC) on a LibVirt server (which may run locally). The return values are Futures which can be awaited using Future::AsyncAwait. Many calls start a process on the server without awaiting the result. One example is the $domain-shutdown()> invocation: it returns when shut down has been initiated, not when the domain is actually shut off. Other calls query the server for state (such as $domain-get_state()>) and return the state when the server replies to the invocation.

The LibVirt protocol and server support concurrent requests: requests issued before earlier requests have finished. The server responds as soon as the result is available. This means that server replies may come back out-of-order, resolving futures as results become available. The use of async and await help to await results from the server and continue processing as soon as results become available.

CLIENT EVENTS

on_message

$on_message->( @@@TODO );

Receives all messages which either don't classify as a callback invocation (i.e. the return value structure doesn't have a callbackID member), or for which no callback has been registered through one of the callback registration functions.

on_close

$on_close->( $client, $reason );

LIBVIRT EVENTS

domain_event_register_any

$cb = await $client->domain_event_register_any( $event_id, $dom = undef );

Subscribes to events of type $event_id. Restricts events to a specific domain by passing a value into $dom. Please refer to the LibVirt documentation for the list of available domain related events.

Returns a Sys::Async::Virt::Callback instance.

Example:

my $cb = $client->domain_event_register_any( $client->DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_LIFECYCLE );
my $event_data = await $cb->next_event;
# { dom => $dom, event => $event, detail => $detail }

The domain event id documentation refers to various callbacks, which are called (in the C API) with a list of arguments. $event_data will generally contain the same values, except the conn (which is available through dom) and the opaque parameters. Refer to virConnectDomainEventGenericCallback to compare the definition of the callback function and the returned $event_data above.

network_event_register_any

$cb = await $client->network_event_register_any( $event_id, $net = undef );

Subscribes to events of type $event_id. Restricts events to a specific network by passing a value into $net. Similar to domain_event_register_any; please refer to the LibVirt documentation for the list of available network related events.

Returns a Sys::Async::Virt::Callback instance.

node_device_event_register_any

$cb = await $client->node_device_event_register_any( $event_id, $dev = undef );

Subscribes to events of type $event_id. Restricts events to a specific device by passing a value into $dev. Similar to domain_event_register_any; please refer to the LibVirt documentation for the list of available node device related events.

Returns a Sys::Async::Virt::Callback instance.

secret_event_register_any

$cb = await $client->secret_event_register_any( $event_id, $secret = undef);

Subscribes to events of type $event_id. Restricts events to a specific secret by passing a value into $secret. Similar to domain_event_register_any; please refer to the LibVirt documentation for the list of available secret related events.

Returns a Sys::Async::Virt::Callback instance.

storage_pool_event_register_any

$cb = await $client->storage_pool_event_register_any( $event_id, $pool = undef );

Subscribes to events of type $event_id. Restricts events to a specific storage pool by passing a value into $pool. Similar to domain_event_register_any; please refer to the LibVirt documentation for the list of available storage (pool) related events.

Returns a Sys::Async::Virt::Callback instance.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

$client = Sys::Async::Virt->new( url => $url, ... );

Creates a new client instance. The constructor supports these parameters:

factory (optional)

An instance of Sys::Async::Virt::Connection::Factory or derived class. Not required when the connection parameter is supplied.
connection (optional)

An instance of Sys::Async::Virt::Connection or derived class. The connect method will be called to establish the actual connection.
transport (optional)

An instance of Protocol::Sys::Virt::Transport or derived class configured to send the output through the connection passed in.
remote (optional)

An instance of Protocol::Sys::Virt::Remote or derived class configured in a client role. The remote will be registered with the tranport as part of the connect procedure.
keepalive (optional)

An instance of Protocol::Sys::Virt::KeepAlive or derived class configured to reply to PING messages using a PONG message as well as closing the connection when the keepalive threshold is exceeded.
url (optional)

The URL of the hypervisor to connect to as per https://libvirt.org/uri.html.

When not supplied, defaults to the environment variable LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI.

METHODS

configure

register

$client->register( $remote );

connect

await $client->connect( async sub pump($connection, $transport) { ... } );

Sets up the transport connection to the server, including authentication keep alive monitoring and close callback registration.

Calls pump to receive data from the $connection, sending the received data into $transport. The function should throw an exception in case of error or return in case of an End-Of-File (EOF) condition.

auth

await $client->auth( $auth_type = undef );
# -> (* no data *)

Authenticates against the server. $auth_type can be any of:

none
sasl
polkit

When no $auth_type is passed, the first authentication method announced by the server, is used.

is_connected

my $bool = $client->is_connected;

is_opened

my $bool = $client->is_opened;

is_secure

my $bool = await $client->is_secure;

open

await $client->open();
# -> (* no data *)

This function opens the connection to the remote driver $client->{url} as passed to new and documented in LibVirt's Connection URIs. Note that the value is to be the local hypervisor URI as applicable to the remote end of the connection.

close

await $client->close;
# -> (* no data *)

Announces to the remote the intent to close the connection. The client will receive a confirmation message from the server after which the server will close the connection.

INTERNAL METHODS

_call

This method forwards protocol "calls" to the remote instance. Using this wrapper allows for tracking all calls allowing to set up handling of the replies.

_send

_send_end

_dispatch_message

_dispatch_reply

_dispatch_stream

_domain_migrate_finish

_domain_migrate_finish2

_domain_migrate_prepare_tunnel

_supports_feature

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Talking to servers without the REMOTE_EVENT_CALLBACK feature (v1.3.3 - 2016-04-06) is not - currently - supported

TODO

Sort interaction between connect and auth methods

Currently, connect always calls auth, which makes having a public auth method rather pointless.
Modules implementing connections for various protocols (tcp, tls, etc)
@generate: none entrypoints review (and implement relevant ones)
@generate: server entrypoints review (and implement relevant ones)
libvirt client configuration (/etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf (for root) or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/libvirt.conf (for other users))
