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 761bbb17c7 build: add syntax check for proper flags use
Enforce the recent flags cleanups - we want to use 'unsigned int flags'
in any of our APIs (except where backwards compatibility is important,
in the public migration APIs), and that all flags are checked for
validity (except when there are stub functions that completely
ignore the flags argument).

There are a few minor tweaks done here to avoid false positives:
signed arguments passed to open() are renamed oflags, and flags
arguments that are legitimately ignored are renamed flags_unused.

* cfg.mk (sc_flags_usage): New rule.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_flags_usage): And a few exemptions.
(sc_flags_debug): Tweak wording.
* src/util/iohelper.c (runIO, main): Rename variable.
* src/util/util.c (virSetInherit): Likewise.
* src/fdstream.h (virFDStreamOpenFile, virFDStreamCreateFile):
Likewise.
* src/fdstream.c (virFDStreamOpenFileInternal)
(virFDStreamOpenFile, virFDStreamCreateFile): Likewise.
* src/util/command.c (virExecWithHook) [WIN32]: Likewise.
* src/util/util.c (virFileOpenAs, virDirCreate) [WIN32]: Likewise.
* src/locking/lock_manager.c (virLockManagerPluginNew)
[!HAVE_DLFCN_H]: Likewise.
* src/locking/lock_driver_nop.c (virLockManagerNopNew)
(virLockManagerNopAddResource, virLockManagerNopAcquire)
(virLockManagerNopRelease, virLockManagerNopInquire): Likewise.

         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.
