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.

Michael Chapman 881a2cff0d virtlockd: make re-exec more robust
- Use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for re-exec state file when running unprivileged.

- argv[0] may not contain a full path to the binary, however it should
  contain something that can be looked up in the PATH. Use execvp() to
  do path lookup on re-exec.

- As per list discussion [1], ignore --daemon on re-exec.

         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.
