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 2a2a00eb69 Fix misc bugs in virCommandPtr
The virCommandNewArgs() method would free the virCommandPtr
if it failed to add the args. This meant errors reported in
virCommandAddArgSet() were lost. Simply removing the check
for errors from the constructor means they can be reported
correctly later

The virCommandAddEnvPassCommon() method failed to check for
errors before reallocating the cmd->env array, causing a
potential SEGV if cmd was NULL

The virCommandAddArgSet() method needs to validate that at
least 1 element in 'val's parameter is non-NULL, otherwise
code like

    cmd = virCommandNew(binary)
    virCommandAddAtg(cmd, "foo")

Would end up trying todo  execve("foo"), if binary was
NULL.

         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.
