maint: reject raw close, popen in 'make syntax-check'
commit f1fe9671e was supposed to make sure we use files.h macros to avoid double close, but it didn't work. Meanwhile, virCommand is vastly superior to system(), fork(), and popen() (also to virExec, but we haven't completed that conversion), so enforce that, too. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_close): Fix typo that excluded close, and add pclose. (sc_prohibit_fork_wrappers): New rule, for fork, system, and popen. * .x-sc_prohibit_close: More exemptions. * .x-sc_prohibit_fork_wrappers: New file. * Makefile.am (syntax_check_exceptions): Ship new file. * src/datatypes.c (virReleaseConnect): Tweak comment to avoid false positive. * src/util/files.h (VIR_CLOSE): Likewise.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
