For __virExec() this is a semantic NOP except for when fork() fails. __virExec() would previously forget to restore the signal mask in this case; virFork() corrects this behavior. virFileCreate() and virDirCreate() gain the code to reset the logging and properly deal with the signal handling race condition. This also removes a log message that had a typo ("cannot fork o create file '%s'") - this error is now logged in a more generic manner in virFork() (more generic, but really just as informative, since the fact that it's forking to create a file is immaterial to the fact that it simply can't fork) * src/util/util.c: use the generic virFork() in the 3 functions
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.

Description
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.
