How to turn on debug logs for libvirt

Client library logging
======================
By default the client library doesn't produce any logs and usually usually it's
not very interesting on its own anyway.
In case you want to get the client logs, logging is controlled via the
``LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS`` and ``LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS`` environment variables.
Generally when client logs are needed make sure you don't filter them:
::
export LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS="1:file:/tmp/libvirt_client.log"
