When testPipeFeeder copies the XML document into the padded buffer, it
tells virStrcpy that 'xmlsize' bytes are available. This is under
reporting size by 1 byte, and as a result it fails to copy the trailing
'\n' replacing it with '\0'. The return value of virStrcpy wasn't
checked, but was reporting this truncation.
When testPipeFeeder then sends the padded buffer down the pipe, it asks
to send 'emptyspace + xmlsize + 1' bytes, which means it sends the data,
as well as the trailing '\0' terminator.
Both bugs combined mean it is sending '\0\0' as the last bytes, instead
of '\n' which was intended. When virFileReadAll reads data from the
pipe, it ends up adding another '\0' resulting in a very NUL terminated
string ('\0\0\0'). This is all harmless, but should be fixed regardless.

Libvirt API for virtualization
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
