To avoid the need for duplicating implementations of virStream drivers, provide a generic implementation that can handle any FD based stream. This code is copied from the existing impl in the QEMU driver, with the locking moved into the stream impl, and addition of a read callback The FD stream code will refuse to operate on regular files or block devices, since those can't report EAGAIN properly when they would block on I/O * include/libvirt/virterror.h, include/libvirt/virterror.h: Add VIR_FROM_STREAM error domain * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Remove code obsoleted by the new generic streams driver. * src/fdstream.h, src/fdstream.c, src/fdstream.c, src/libvirt_private.syms: Generic reusable FD based streams
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.

Description
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.
