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.

Eric Blake 9ed545185f command: add virCommandAbort for cleanup paths
Sometimes, an asynchronous helper is started (such as a compressor
or iohelper program), but a later error means that we want to
abort that child.  Make this easier.

Note that since daemons and virCommandRunAsync can't mix, the only
time virCommandFree can reap a process is if someone did
virCommandRunAsync for a non-daemon and didn't stash the pid.

* src/util/command.h (virCommandAbort): New prototype.
* src/util/command.c (_virCommand): Add new field.
(virCommandRunAsync, virCommandWait): Track whether pid was used.
(virCommandFree): Reap child if caller did not request pid.
(virCommandAbort): New function.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (command.h): Export it.
* tests/commandtest.c (test19): New test.

         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.
