VMware Vix使用

本文簡單的介紹如何使用VMware Vix API來控制Vmware虛擬機

 

                                        什么是VM VIX                                                                                                         

VM Vix是Vmware提供的一組API接口來操作虛擬機的一系列行為,其可以幫助我們完成很多軟件系統的自動化工作,可以以控制系統的方式來實現某些特殊軟件的自動化運行

                                   獲取VMware Vix SDK                                                                                                  

一.百度搜索VMware Vix

二.下載VMware Vix SDK

然后出現

四.然后下載安裝即可,安裝完畢如下所示

 

 

                                                 如何使用                                                                                                          

函數文檔(在SDK的此目錄下VMware VIX\doc\lang\c\functions)

 

注意自己虛擬機的版本

在工程中包含相應的頭文件和庫

 

實例代碼                                                                                                                                                         

下面是一個開啟虛擬機並關閉虛擬機的代碼
