Add a virGetLastErrorMessage() function
Apps using libvirt will often have code like if (virXXXX() < 0) { virErrorPtr err = virGetLastError(); fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n", err && err->message ? err->message : "unknown error"); return -1; } Checking for a NULL error object or message leads to very verbose code. A virGetLastErrorMessage() helper from libvirt can simplify this to if (virXXXX() < 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Something failed: %s\n", virGetLastErrorMessage()); return -1; } Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 69c6a58a1d3906fdb3ee7929a03ce9b59f33e1c3)

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.
