VMware Vix使用

本文简单的介绍如何使用VMware Vix API来控制Vmware虚拟机

 

                                        什么是VM VIX                                                                                                         

VM Vix是Vmware提供的一组API接口来操作虚拟机的一系列行为,其可以帮助我们完成很多软件系统的自动化工作,可以以控制系统的方式来实现某些特殊软件的自动化运行

                                   获取VMware Vix SDK                                                                                                  

一.百度搜索VMware Vix

二.下载VMware Vix SDK

然后出现

四.然后下载安装即可,安装完毕如下所示

 

 

                                                 如何使用                                                                                                          

函数文档(在SDK的此目录下VMware VIX\doc\lang\c\functions)

 

注意自己虚拟机的版本

在工程中包含相应的头文件和库

 

实例代码                                                                                                                                                         

下面是一个开启虚拟机并关闭虚拟机的代码
