Crate hypervisor [−] [src]
This is a Rust library that taps into functionality 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.
To use this library, you need
OS X Yosemite (10.10), or newer
an Intel processor with the VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. To verify this, run and expect the following in your Terminal:
$ sysctl kern.hv_support kern.hv_support: 1
