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.
