Well, the reason behind this change is that if the function is extended in some way that e.g. would involve allocation we do not have a way of telling it to the caller. More specifically, vshInitDebug only relies on some hardcoded environment variables (by a mistake) that aren't documented anywhere so neither virsh's nor virt-admin's documented environment variables take effect. One possible solution would be duplicate the code for each CLI client or leave the method be generic and provide means that it could figure out, which client called it, thus initializing the proper environment variables but that could involve operations that might as well fail in certain circumstances and the caller should know that an error occurred.

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
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.
