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.

Daniel P. Berrange c8a3a26513 Convert libvirtd to use crash-safe pidfile APIs
Remove the current libvirtd pidfile handling code, in favour of
calling out to the new APIs. This ensures libvirtd's pidfile
handling is crashsafe

This also means that the non-root libvirtd instances (for handling
qemu:///session URIs) can now safely use pidfiles without racing

* daemon/libvirtd.c: Switch to use virPidFileAcquire and
  virPidFileRelease

         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.
