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() fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728654
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.
