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.

Eric Blake 1eb6647979 save: let iohelper handle inherited fd
Rather than making the iohelper subject to a race in reopening
the file, it is nicer to pass an already-open fd by inheritance.

The old synopsis form must continue to work - if someone updates
their libvirt package and installs a new libvirt_iohelper but
without restarting the old libvirtd daemon, then the daemon can
still make calls using the old syntax but the new iohelper.

* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO): Split code for open...
(prepare): ...to new function.
(usage): Update synopsis.
(main): Allow alternate calling form.
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal): Use alternate form.

         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.
