We know at the time a virFirewallCmd is created (with virFirewallAddCmd*()) whether or not we will later want to ignore errors encountered when attempting to apply that command - if ignoreErrors is set in the AddCmd or if the group has already had VIR_FIREWALL_TRANSACTION_IGNORE_ERRORS set, then we ignore the errors. Rather than setting the fwCmd->ignoreErrors only according to the arg sent to virFirewallAddCmdFull(), and then later (at ApplyCmd-time) combining that with the group transactionFlags setting (and passing it all the way down the call chain), just combine the two flags right away and store this final value in fwCmd->ignoreErrors when the virFirewallCmd is created (thus avoiding the need to look at anything other than fwCmd->ignoreErrors at the time the command is applied). Once that is done, we can simply grab ignoreErrors from the object down in virFirewallApply() rather than cluttering up the argument list on the entire call chain.

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.
