Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process (e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is blocked in flushing disk buffers).
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
