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.

Peter Krempa 6452b1eb5c daemon: Add early libvirtd start verbose errors.
Early errors during start of libvirtd didn't have
an error reporting mechanism and caused libvirtd
to exit silently (only the return value indicated
an error).

Libvirt logging is initialized very early using
enviroment variables and the internal error reporting
API is used to report early errors.

 v2 changes:
 - print errors unconditionaly before logging starts
 - fix message to US spelling
 v2.5 changes:
 - initialize logging from enviroment
 - log all early errors using VIR_ERROR
 v3 changes:
 - move virSetLogFromEnv() after virInitialize()

         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.
