The only purpose of this test is to catch possible linking problems with libnss_libvirt.so.2. One of the problems I faced was that the NSS plugin was unloaded immediately after it got loaded and the name resolution process continued with next configured option. Without any error. It was very hard to debug why until I created this simple test and found out immediately that there were some symbols missing. The reason why problem was not caught in nsstest is that in the test we want to use all the fancy stuff and therefore link it with libvirt.la. So even if there's a symbol missing in the NSS plugin it will be found in the libvirt.la. But even after I resolved the issue we still need this test because files the NSS plugin is built from are still live (mostly those under utils/ dir). So as they change new symbol might be required which would render the NSS plugin unusable. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
