Michal Privoznik 2ae1f19d43 commandtest: Comply with FreeBSD poll()
In one of recent commits I've introduced a new test case to
commandtest. In the test case I'm using poll() to wait for data
on a pipe (the write end is passed to commandhelper). However, on
FreeBSD the POLLIN semantic is a bit different:

  POLLIN        Data other than high priority data may be read
                without blocking.

Well, the pipe is non-blocking, so even if there's no data to be
read the flag is set (and subsequent read() returns 0). On the
other hand, POLLHUP is set too, BUT, if the commandhelper manages
to write everything into the pipe and die right after we'd get
both POLLIN and POLLHUP after the very first time poll() returns.
That's very unfortunate, but okay - we can just check whether
read() returned zero and break from the reading loop.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
