Most management stacks and cloud frameworks seem to be using libvirt nowadays. And that's a good thing because a lot of work goes into libvirt to use the latest and greatest QEMU options, set up networking and firewalls, PCI passthrough, device hotplug, etc. So start by looking at http://libvirt.org/ to see if it meets your needs. If you really want to write your own library, learn the QEMU command-line and QMP monitor. See docs/qmp/qmp-spec.txt and scripts/qmp/qmp-shell for QMP examples. Also consider that writing your own library means you'll have to study the man pages and QEMU source code. Here is a very quick overview of QEMU to get you started: http://vmsplice.net/~stefan/qemu-code-overview.pdf Stefan
