Protect against NULL pointer flaws in monitor usage
History has shown that there are frequent bugs in the QEMU driver code leading to the monitor being invoked with a NULL pointer. Although the QEMU driver code should always report an error in this case before invoking the monitor, as a safety net put in a generic check in the monitor code entry points. * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c: Safety net to check for NULL monitor object
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.

Description

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
