/*
This package is the root package of the govmomi library.

The library is structured as follows:

Package vim25

The minimal usable functionality is available through the vim25 package.
It contains subpackages that contain generated types, managed objects, and all
available methods. The vim25 package is entirely independent of the other
packages in the govmomi tree -- it has no dependencies on its peers.

The vim25 package itself contains a client structure that is
passed around throughout the entire library. It abstracts a session and its
immutable state. See the vim25 package for more information.

Package session

The session package contains an abstraction for the session manager that allows
a user to login and logout. It also provides access to the current session
(i.e. to determine if the user is in fact logged in)

Package object

The object package contains wrappers for a selection of managed objects. The
constructors of these objects all take a *vim25.Client, which they pass along
to derived objects, if applicable.

Package govc

The govc package contains the govc CLI. The code in this tree is not intended
to be used as a library. Any functionality that govc contains that _could_ be
used as a library function but isn't, _should_ live in a root level package.

Other packages

Other packages, such as "event", "guest", or "license", provide wrappers for
the respective subsystems. They are typically not needed in normal workflows so
are kept outside the object package.
