What is libosinfo?

=============

 

libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about

operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can

support. It includes a database containing device metadata and provides APIs

to match/identify optimal devices for deploying an operating system on a

hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all

common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python

(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.

 

libosinfo is Free Software and licenced under LGPLv2+.
