Crate linux_kvm

This package wraps the lower-level crate linux_io to provide more convenient access to the linux KVM API, which allows you to create and run kernel-managed virtual machines on architectures that support that.

For now this crate is largely just serving as a prototype case for building low-cost safe abstractions on top of linux_io, so it doesn’t support the full KVM API. Hopefully over time it’ll gain enough to be useful.

Modules
