The virFileResolveLink utility function relied on the POSIX guarantee that stat.st_size of a symlink is the length of the value. However, on some types of file systems, it is invalid, so do not rely on it. Use gnulib's areadlink module instead. * bootstrap (modules): Add areadlink. * src/util/util.c: Include "areadlink.h". Let areadlink perform the readlink and malloc. * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Remove readlink. No need, since it's presence is guaranteed by gnulib.
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.
