Michal Privoznik b103200bf3 vircommand: Initialize dryRunStatus to portable EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0
If dry run of a command was requested (virCommandSetDryRun())
then a specified callback is called instead of running actual
command. This is meant to be used in tests. To mimic running the
command as closely as possible the callback can also set exit
status of the command it's implementing. To save some lines
though, the exit status is initialized to 0 so that callback has
to set it only on failures. Now, 0 is not exactly portable value
- that's why stdlib.h has EXIT_SUCCESS (and EXIT_FAILURE) values.
Initialize the exit status (held in dryRunStatus) to EXIT_SUCCESS
then.

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.
