1. About Parallels Virtualization SDK
Parallels Server SDK is a development kit used to build client applications
for Parallels Server and Parallels Desktop applications. The SDK provides
cross-platform C and Python APIs and includes the following components:
- C header files
- Dynamic libraries
- A Python package used to develop client applications in Python.
- Parallels Command-Line Tool (prlctl) - a sample client application
that was developed using the Parallels Server SDK. The C source
code and the executable version is included. This is a fully
functional console application that can be used to perform a full
range of operations on a Parallels server and its virtual machines.
- A collection of sample virtual machine configuration files in XML
format for use with the Parallels Command-Line Tool (above). The
configuration information contained in each file can be customized
to suit a particular need.
