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 430156cf32 build: add compiler attributes to virUUIDParse
Coverity complained that most, but not all, clients of virUUIDParse
were checking for errors.  Silence those coverity warnings by
explicitly marking the cases where we trust the input, and fixing
one instance that really should have been checking.  In particular,
this silences a rather large percentage of the warnings I saw on my
most recent Coverity analysis run.

* src/util/uuid.h (virUUIDParse): Enforce rules.
* src/util/uuid.c (virUUIDParse): Drop impossible check; at least
Coverity will detect if we break rules and pass NULL.
* src/xenapi/xenapi_driver.c (xenapiDomainCreateXML)
(xenapiDomainLookupByID, xenapiDomainLookupByName)
(xenapiDomainDefineXML): Ignore return when we trust data source.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (nsIDtoChar, vboxIIDToUUID_v3_x)
(vboxCallbackOnMachineStateChange)
(vboxCallbackOnMachineRegistered, vboxStoragePoolLookupByName):
Likewise.
* src/node_device/node_device_hal.c (gather_system_cap): Likewise.
* src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c (xenParseSxpr): Check for errors.

         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.
