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.

qemuBlockJobSyncBegin and qemuBlockJobSyncEnd delimit a region of code
where block job events are processed "synchronously".
qemuBlockJobSyncWait and qemuBlockJobSyncWaitWithTimeout wait for an
event generated by a block job.
The Wait* functions may be called multiple times while the synchronous
block job is active. Any pending block job event will be processed by
only when Wait* or End is called. disk->blockJobStatus is reset by
these functions, so if it is needed a pointer to a
virConnectDomainEventBlockJobStatus variable should be passed as the
last argument. It is safe to pass NULL if you do not care about the
block job status.
All functions assume the VM object is locked. The Wait* functions will
unlock the object for as long as they are waiting. They will return -1
and report an error if the domain exits before an event is received.
Typical use is as follows:
virQEMUDriverPtr driver;
virDomainObjPtr vm; /* locked */
virDomainDiskDefPtr disk;
virConnectDomainEventBlockJobStatus status;
qemuBlockJobSyncBegin(disk);
... start block job ...
if (qemuBlockJobSyncWait(driver, vm, disk, &status) < 0) {
/* domain died while waiting for event */
ret = -1;
goto error;
}
... possibly start other block jobs
or wait for further events ...
qemuBlockJobSyncEnd(driver, vm, disk, NULL);
To perform other tasks periodically while waiting for an event:
virQEMUDriverPtr driver;
virDomainObjPtr vm; /* locked */
virDomainDiskDefPtr disk;
virConnectDomainEventBlockJobStatus status;
unsigned long long timeout = 500 * 1000ull; /* milliseconds */
qemuBlockJobSyncBegin(disk);
... start block job ...
do {
... do other task ...
if (qemuBlockJobSyncWaitWithTimeout(driver, vm, disk,
timeout, &status) < 0) {
/* domain died while waiting for event */
ret = -1;
goto error;
}
} while (status == -1);
qemuBlockJobSyncEnd(driver, vm, disk, NULL);

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.
