Jim Fehlig cbae4eaa19 libxl: Implement domainGetMessages API Since commit `46783e6307`, the 'virsh dominfo' command calls virDomainGetMessages to report any messages from the domain. Hypervisors not implementing the API now get the following libvirtd log message when clients invoke 'virsh dominfo' this function is not supported by the connection driver: virDomainGetMessages Although libxl currently does not support any tainting or deprecation messages, provide an implementation to squelch the previously unseen error message when collecting dominfo.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.
