hypervisor is a Rust library that enables hardware-accelerated execution of virtual machines on OS X.

It binds to the Hypervisor framework on OS X, and exposes a safe Rust interface through the hypervisor module, and an unsafe foreign function interface through the hypervisor::ffi module.

Prerequisites

To use this library, you need

• OS X Yosemite (10.10), or newer
