Introduce virStreamSendHole
This API is used to tell the other side of the stream to skip some bytes in the stream. This can be used to create a sparse file on the receiving side of a stream. It takes @length argument, which says how big the hole is. This skipping is done from the current point of stream. Since our streams are not rewindable like regular files, we don't need @whence argument like seek(2) has. 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.
