  hi,
            Does anyone know of any document which explains internals of xen (typically about creation of domains  from perspective of process creation and system programming)?
The aim is to call xen api's in a program  to automate the process of creation/shutdown/migration  of domains.


The  xen APIs for domain creation are rather too low level for what you want (see xc_linux_build.c). You're better off writing wrappers around the tools. At some point when things have stabilized I think you'll be able to get the desired effect by sending updates to the store.

As for a more polished API, you have to think about its academic value (or lack thereof),  and where the companies driving xen are getting their differentiating value -add from.
