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.

Philipp Hahn f370fc37f9 qemu: Fix escape_monitor(escape_shell(command))
Suspending a VM which contains shell meta characters doesn't work with
libvirt-0.8.7:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/andreas_231-ne\ doch\ nicht.log:
  sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `doch'
  sh: -c: line 0: `cat | { dd bs=4096 seek=1 if=/dev/null && dd bs=1048576; }

Although target="andreas_231-ne doch nicht" contains shell meta
characters (here: blanks), they are not properly escaped by
src/qemu/qemu_monitor_{json,text}.c#qemuMonitor{JSON,Text}MigrateToFile()

First, the filename needs to be properly escaped for the shell, than
this command line has to be properly escaped for qemu again.

For this to work, remove the old qemuMonitorEscapeArg() wrapper, rename
qemuMonitorEscape() to it removing the handling for shell=TRUE, and
implement a new qemuMonitorEscapeShell() returning strings using single
quotes.

Using double quotes or escaping special shell characters with backslashes
would also be possible, but the set of special characters heavily
depends on the concrete shell (dsh, bash, zsh) and its setting (history
expansion, interactive use, ...)

         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.
