cryingheart / vasum

Vasum is a Linux daemon and a set of utilities used for managing para-virtualization. It uses Linux Containers to create separate, graphical environments called zones. One can concurrently run several zones on one physical device. Vasum exports a rich C/Dbus API that the application frameworks can use to interact with zones.

Vasum

Vasum is a Linux daemon and a set of utilities used for managing para-virtualization. It uses Linux Containers to create separate, graphical environments called zones. One can concurrently run several zones on one physical device. Vasum exports a rich C/Dbus API that the application frameworks can use to interact with zones.

For now Vasum uses LXC for Linux Containers management. The project is mostly written in modern C++, is well tested.

Vasum's development takes place on review.tizen.org/gerrit/ (registration on tizen.org is required).

Installation and usage

The installation process and simple verification is described here.

Client interface

Vasum daemon can be accessed via C API or Dbus. You can find the API documentation here. Be aware that the API will most likely change in the near future.

Documentation

More comprehensive documentation is kept here. You can generate the code documentation by executing generate_documentation.sh script from doc directory. Documentation will be generated in doc/html directory.

cd ./doc
./generate_documentation.sh

Code formatting

We use astyle for code formatting (Use the latest version) You can find the options file in the root of the project.

For example to format all .cpp and .hpp files run in the project directory:

astyle --options=./astylerc --recursive ./*.cpp ./*.hpp
