For logging one-shot entries to the VM log file it's quite a waste to hold open the file descriptor for logging that is provided by the current API. This new API will be ideal for logging one-shot entries to the file e.g. at the point when we shut the VM down rather than having to add the whole file-descriptor infrastructure. Additionally this will allow to add the messages even after restart of libvirtd since virtlogd doesn't allow to obtain a regular context with filedescriptors while the VM is still active.
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.
