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.

Eric Blake cd1e8d1c47 build: avoid journald on rhel 5
Commit f6430390 broke builds on RHEL 5, where glibc (2.5) is too
old to support mkostemp (2.7) or htole64 (2.9).  While gnulib
has mkostemp, it still lacks htole64; and it's not worth dragging
in replacements on systems where journald is unlikely to exist
in the first place, so we just use an extra configure-time check
as our witness of whether to attempt compiling the code.

* src/util/logging.c (virLogParseOutputs): Don't attempt to
compile journald on older glibc.
* configure.ac (AC_CHECK_DECLS): Check for htole64.

         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.
