This patch is in response to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818467 If a caller to virCommandRun doesn't ask for the exitstatus of the program it's running, the virCommand functions assume that they should log an error message and return failure if the exit code isn't 0. However, only the commandline and exit status are logged, while potentially useful information sent by the program to stderr is discarded. Fortunately, virCommandRun is already checking if the caller had asked for stderr to be saved and, if not, sets things up to save it in *cmd->errbuf. This makes it fairly simple for virCommandWait to include *cmd->errbuf in the error log (there are still other callers that don't setup errbuf, and even virCommandRun won't set it up if the command is being daemonized, so we have to check that it's non-zero).
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.
