Rather than an algorithm based solely on libvirtd ctime to refresh the capabilities add the element of the libvirt build version into the equation. Since that version wouldn't be there prior to this code being run - don't fail on reading the capabilities if not found. In this case, the cache will always be rebuilt when a new libvirt version is installed.
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.
