This introduces a new set of APIs in src/util/command.h to use for invoking commands. This is intended to replace all current usage of virRun and virExec variants, with a more flexible and less error prone API. * src/util/command.c: New file. * src/util/command.h: New header. * src/Makefile.am (UTIL_SOURCES): Build it. * src/libvirt_private.syms: Export symbols internally. * tests/commandtest.c: New test. * tests/Makefile.am (check_PROGRAMS): Run it. * tests/commandhelper.c: Auxiliary program. * tests/commanddata/test2.log - test15.log: New expected outputs. * cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add virCommandFree. (msg_gen_function): Add virCommandError. * po/POTFILES.in: New translation. * .x-sc_avoid_write: Add exemption. * tests/.gitignore: Ignore new built file.
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.
