When reading the inotify FD, we get back a sequence of
struct inotify_event, each with variable length data following.
It is not safe to simply cast from the char *buf to the
struct inotify_event struct since this may violate data
alignment rules. Thus we must copy from the char *buf
into the struct inotify_event instance before accessing
the data.
uml/uml_driver.c: In function 'umlInotifyEvent':
uml/uml_driver.c:327:13: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Wcast-align]
e = (struct inotify_event *)tmp;

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.
