This patch introduces a new error code VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED to mark error messages regarding operations that failed due to lack of support on the hypervisor or other than libvirt issues. The code is first used in reporting error if qemu does not support block IO tuning variables yielding error message: error: Unable to get block I/O throttle parameters error: Operation not supported: block_io_throttle field 'total_bytes_sec' missing in qemu's output instead of: error: Unable to get block I/O throttle parameters error: internal error cannot read total_bytes_sec
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.
