Description: Formatted documents for the VIRTIO (Virtual I/O) Specification
maintained by the OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Technical Committee.
Purpose statement :
This repository hosts various versions of the VIRTIO (Virtual I/O)
Specification
document in the (non-authoritative) pre-formatted HTML and PDF form. The
authoritative form is found in the virtio-spec repository.

This document describes the specifications of the “virtio” family of
devices. These devices are
found in virtual environments, yet by design they look like physical devices
to
the guest within
the virtual machine - and this document treats them as such. This similarity
allows the guest to
use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms.
The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual environments and
guests should have
a straightforward, efficient, standard and extensible mechanism for virtual
devices, rather than
boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms.
