There are five SDKs available, one for each of C, C#, Java, PowerShell, and
|
|
Python. These are provided under an open-source license (LGPL or GPL with
|
|
the common linking exception). This allows use (unmodified) in both
|
|
closed-and open-source applications.
|
|
|
|
There are also several example code samples also provided for download. Some
|
|
of the code samples demonstrate creating a VM, running VM power operations,
|
|
and watching for events.

The XenServer 5.6 Feature Pack 1 SDKs are suitable not just for 5.6 FP1
|
|
servers, but for use with all versions of XenServer from 4.0 to 5.6 FP1,
|
|
making it possible to address multiple XenServer versions with a single
|
|
binary. There are, of course, features missing on the older versions, and
|
|
client programs are expected to check host.software_version["product_version"]
|
|
to gracefully fall back when appropriate.
