## Overview
`libmicrovmi` aims to provide a cross-platform unified _Virtual Machine Introspection_ API. (See [What's VMI ?](https://wenzel.github.io/libmicrovmi/explanation/vmi_api.html))
The term micro (μ) refers to the library's simplicity as well as the letter `U`
standing for `Unified` interface.
_Virtual Machine Introspection_ has been around since [2003](https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2003/virtual-machine-introspection-based-architecture-intrusion-detection/),
yet the ecosystem is still heavily fragmented and lacks standards as well as interoperability. (See [VMI Ecosystem Fragmentation](https://wenzel.github.io/libmicrovmi/explanation/vmi_ecosystem.html))
The main objective is to provide the simplest virtual machine introspection abstraction, offering a standard API to interact with
any VMI provider, with a high degree of compatibility and composability to be integrated with any high-level VMI application.
