QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however, libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions (qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json, which can result in the wrong arguments being sent. For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as test\\file. This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to escape some internal arguments.)

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.

Description
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.
