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.

Guido Günther 4882618ed1 qemu: use systemd's TerminateMachine to kill all processes
If we don't properly clean up all processes in the
machine-<vmname>.scope systemd won't remove the cgroup and subsequent vm
starts fail with

  'CreateMachine: File exists'

Additional processes can e.g. be added via

  echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/machine.slice/machine-${VMNAME}.scope/tasks

but there are other cases like

  http://bugs.debian.org/761521

Invoke TerminateMachine to be on the safe side since systemd tracks the
cgroup anyway. This is a noop if all processes have terminated already.

         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.
