A good resource is to understand this file:
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html

Explore the web page - there's some overviews on pages such as:
http://libvirt.org/goals.html
http://libvirt.org/api.html

Or set breakpoints in libvirtd, and trace a call to one of the public
APIs.  For example, if you use 'virsh -c $uri start $dom' to start a xen
domain, you can run libvirtd under gdb, put a breakpoint on
virDomainCreate() and step on through the code to see what is involved
in starting a xen guest.
