set_qemu


Description:

[ Version ( deprecated = true , since = "1.0.6" ) ]
public bool set_qemu (string? hv) throws Error

Warning: set_qemu is deprecated.

set the hypervisor binary (usually qemu)

Note:

In new code, use set_hv instead

Set the hypervisor binary (usually qemu) that we will use.

The default is chosen when the library was compiled by the configure script.

You can also override this by setting the LIBGUESTFS_HV environment variable.

Setting hv to NULL restores the default qemu binary.

Note that you should call this function as early as possible after creating the handle. This is because some pre-launch operations depend on testing qemu features (by running "qemu -help"). If the qemu binary changes, we don't retest features, and so you might see inconsistent results. Using the environment variable LIBGUESTFS_HV is safest of all since that picks the qemu binary at the same time as the handle is created.

Parameters:

this

A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

true on success, false on error
