Crate vm_curator 

vm-curator

Core library for vm-curator, a TUI for managing QEMU/KVM virtual machines.

This crate exposes the non-UI building blocks so that alternative front-ends (a GUI, a daemon, scripts) can reuse the same VM discovery, launch-script parsing/generation, snapshot, hardware-passthrough, import, and metadata logic that powers the terminal interface.

Public modules

• vm — VM discovery, launch-script parsing/generation, lifecycle, snapshots, import
• commands — wrappers around qemu-img and QEMU system binaries
• hardware — USB / PCI / GPU passthrough enumeration and configuration
• metadata — OS profiles, QEMU profiles, family hierarchy, ASCII art
• config — user settings persisted under ~/.config/vm-curator/
• wizard_types — front-end-agnostic state types for the creation/import flows
• fs — small filesystem helpers

Intentionally excluded

The ui and app modules are not part of the public API: ui contains ratatui/crossterm TUI rendering code, and app references ui types, so neither can be consumed independently of the terminal front-end.

wizard_types

Wizard and import state types, extracted from app.rs so they can be exposed via the library target without pulling in the TUI (ratatui/crossterm).
