Refer to the documentation to become familiar with the upstream API.\n\nThe code in the `govmomi` package is a wrapper for the code that is generated from the vSphere API description. It primarily provides convenience functions for working with the vSphere API. See [godoc.org][reference-godoc] for documentation.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Binaries and Docker Images for `govc` and `vcsim`\n\nInstallation instructions, released binaries, and Docker images are documented in the respective README files of [`govc`][govc] and [`vcsim`][vcsim].\n\n## Discussion\n\nCollaborate with the community using GitHub [discussions][govmomi-github-discussions] and GitHub [issues][govmomi-github-issues].\n\n## Status\n\nChanges to the API are subject to [semantic versioning][reference-semver].\n\nRefer to the [CHANGELOG][govmomi-changelog] for version to version changes.",
