What is libosinfo?
==================

libosinfo is a GObject based library API for managing information about
operating systems, hypervisors and the (virtual) hardware devices they can

hypervisor. Via the magic of GObject Introspection, the API is available in all
common programming languages with demos for javascript (GJS/Seed) and python
(PyGObject). Also provided are Vala bindings.
