The VIX API
The VIX API was a popular developer
interface for VMware Workstation and other hosted products. It has been
deprecated for vSphere. See the VMware developer documentation for information
about the VIX API:
The
VIX API Reference
guide includes function reference pages for C++, Perl, and COM
(component object model) for Microsoft C#, VBScript, and Visual Basic. Most
reference pages include helpful code examples. Additionally, the
vix-api Web guide includes examples for power on and
off, suspending a virtual machine, taking a snapshot, guest operations, virtual
machine discovery, and asynchronous callbacks.
