--- 1. About Parallels Virtualization SDK
Parallels Virtualization SDK is a development kit used to build client applications
for Parallels Server, Parallels Desktop, and Parallels Workstation 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 (prlsrvctl, prlctl) - a sample client application that was developed using the Parallels Virtualization 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 Parallels Service and virtual machines. --- 2. System Requirements
