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.

Eric Blake 69d044c034 waitpid: improve safety
Based on a report by Coverity.  waitpid() can leak resources if it
fails with EINTR, so it should never be used without checking return
status.  But we already have a helper function that does that, so
use it in more places.

* src/lxc/lxc_container.c (lxcContainerAvailable): Use safer
virWaitPid.
* daemon/libvirtd.c (daemonForkIntoBackground): Likewise.
* tests/testutils.c (virtTestCaptureProgramOutput, virtTestMain):
Likewise.
* src/libvirt.c (virConnectAuthGainPolkit): Simplify with virCommand.

         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.
