As it turns out the caller in this case expects a return < 0 for failure and to get/use "errno" rather than using the negative of returned status. Again different than the create path. If someone "deleted" a file from the pool without using virsh vol-delete, then the unlink/rmdir would return an error (-1) and set errno to ENOENT. The caller checks errno for ENOENT when determining whether to throw an error message indicating the failure. Without the change, the error message is: error: Failed to delete vol $vol error: cannot unlink file '/$pathto/$vol': Success This patch thus allows the fork path to follow the non-fork path where unlink/rmdir return -1 and errno.
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.

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.
