The fread_file_lim() function uses fread() but never handles EINTR results, causing unexpected failures when reading QEMU help arg info. It was unneccessarily using FILE * instead of plain UNIX file handles, which prevented use of saferead() * src/util/util.c: Switch fread_file_lim over to use saferead instead of fread, remove FILE * use, and rename
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.
