Laine Stump d79a6e2c8c esx: fix memory leak by switching to g_autofree
volumeName was defined at the top of the function, then a new string
was assigned to it each time through a loop, but after the first
iteration of the loop, the previous string wasn't freed before
allocating a new string the next time. By reducing the scope of
volumeName to be just the loop, and making it g_autofree, we eliminate
the leak.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

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.
