+// Package libvirt provides a Go binding to the libvirt C library
+//
+// Through conditional compilation it supports libvirt versions 1.2.0 onwards.
+// This is done automatically, with no requirement to use magic Go build tags.
+// If an API was not available in the particular version of libvirt this package
+// was built against, an error will be returned with a code of ERR_NO_SUPPORT.
+// This is the same code seen if using a new libvirt library to talk to an old
+// libvirtd lacking the API, or if a hypervisor does not support a given feature,
+// so an application can easily handle all scenarios together.
+//
+// The Go binding is a fairly direct mapping of the underling C API which seeks
+// to maximise the use of the Go type system to allow strong compiler type
+// checking. The following rules describe how APIs/constants are mapped from C
+// to Go
+//
+// For structs, the 'vir' prefix and 'Ptr' suffix are removed from the name.
+// e.g. virConnectPtr in C becomes 'Connect' in Go.
+//
+// For structs which are reference counted at the C level, it is neccessary to
+// explicitly release the reference at the Go level. e.g. if a Go method returns
+// a '* Domain' struct, it is neccessary to call 'Free' on this when no longer
+// required. The use of 'defer' is recommended for this purpose
+//
+// dom, err := conn.LookupDomainByName("myguest")
+// if err != nil {
+// ...
+// }
+// defer dom.Free()
+//
+// If multiple goroutines are using the same libvirt object struct, it may
+// not be possible to determine which goroutine should call 'Free'. In such
+// scenarios each new goroutine should call 'Ref' to obtain a private reference
+// on the underlying C struct. All goroutines can call 'Free' unconditionally
+// with the final one causing the release of the C object.
+//
+// For methods, the 'vir' prefix and object name prefix are remove from the name.
+// The C functions become methods with an object receiver. e.g.
+// 'virDomainScreenshot' in C becomes 'Screenshot' with a 'Domain *' receiver.
+//
+// For methods which accept a 'unsigned int flags' parameter in the C level,
+// the corresponding Go parameter will be a named type corresponding to the
+// C enum that defines the valid flags. For example, the ListAllDomains
+// method takes a 'flags ConnectListAllDomainsFlags' parameter. If there are
+// not currently any flags defined for a method in the C API, then the Go
+// method parameter will be declared as a "flags uint32". Callers should always
+// pass the literal integer value 0 for such parameters, without forcing any
+// specific type. This will allow compatibility with future updates to the
+// libvirt-go binding which may replace the 'uint32' type with a enum type
+// at a later date.
+//
+// For enums, the VIR_ prefix is removed from the name. The enums get a dedicated
+// type defined in Go. e.g. the VIR_NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_MEM enum constant in C,
+// becomes NODE_SUSPEND_TARGET_MEM with a type of NodeSuspendTarget.
+//
+// Methods accepting or returning virTypedParameter arrays in C will map the
+// parameters into a Go struct. The struct will contain two fields for each
+// possible parameter. One boolean field with a suffix of 'Set' indicates whether
+// the parameter has a value set, and the other custom typed field provides the
+// parameter value. This makes it possible to distinguish a parameter with a
+// default value of '0' from a parameter which is 0 because it isn't supported by
+// the hypervisor. If the C API defines additional typed parameters, then the
+// corresponding Go struct will be extended to have further fields.
+// e.g. the GetMemoryStats method in Go (which is backed by
+// virNodeGetMemoryStats in C) will return a NodeMemoryStats struct containing
+// the typed parameter values.
+//
+// stats, err := conn.GetMemoryParameters()
+// if err != nil {
+// ....
+// }
+// if stats.TotalSet {
+// fmt.Printf("Total memory: %d KB", stats.Total)
+// }
+//
+// Every method that can fail will include an 'error' object as the last return
+// value. This will be an instance of the Error struct if an error occurred. To
+// check for specific libvirt error codes, it is neccessary to cast the error.
+//
+// err := storage_vol.Wipe(0)
+// if err != nil {
+// lverr, ok := err.(libvirt.Error)
+// if ok && lverr.Code == libvirt.ERR_NO_SUPPORT {
+// fmt.Println("Wiping storage volumes is not supported");
+// } else {
+// fmt.Println("Error wiping storage volume: %s", err)
+// }
+// }
+//
+// Example usage
+//
+// To connect to libvirt
+//
+// import (
+// libvirt "github.com/libvirt/libvirt-go"
+// )
+// conn, err := libvirt.NewConnect("qemu:///system")
+// if err != nil {
+// ...
+// }
+// defer conn.Close()
+//
+// doms, err := conn.ListAllDomains(libvirt.CONNECT_LIST_DOMAINS_ACTIVE)
+// if err != nil {
+// ...
+// }
+//
+// fmt.Printf("%d running domains:\n", len(doms))
+// for _, dom := range doms {
+// name, err := dom.GetName()
+// if err == nil {
+// fmt.Printf(" %s\n", name)
+// }
+// dom.Free()
+// }
