libvirt-go 
Go bindings for libvirt. These bindings are deprecated. Please, migrate to the new official version. You'll have to do some minor adjustments to your code.
Make sure to have libvirt-dev package (or the development files otherwise somewhere in your include path)
Version Support
The minimum supported version of libvirt is 1.2.2. Due to the API/ABI compatibility promise of libvirt, more recent versions of libvirt should work too.
Some features require a more recent version of libvirt. They are disabled by default. If you want to enable them, build using one of those additional tags (you need to use only the most recent one you are interested in):
- 1.2.14
For example:
go build -tags libvirt.1.2.14
OS Compatibility Matrix
To quickly see what version of libvirt your OS can easily support (may be outdated). Obviously, nothing below 1.2.2 is usable with these bindings.
