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.

Daniel P. Berrange 09f5e0123f Improve LXC startup error reporting
Currently we rely on a VIR_ERROR message being logged by the
virRaiseError function to report LXC startup errors. This gives
the right message, but is rather ugly and can be truncated
if lots of log messages are written. Change the LXC controller
to explicitly print any virErrorPtr message to stderr. Then
change the driver to skip over anything that looks like a log
message.

The result is that this

error: Failed to start domain busy
error: internal error guest failed to start: 2013-03-04 19:46:42.846+0000: 1734: info : libvirt version: 1.0.2

         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.
