There is some magic going on when it comes to stat() or lstat(). Basically, stat() can either be a regular function, an inline function that calls __xstat(_STAT_VER, ...) or a macro that does the same as the inline func. Don't ask why is that, just read the documentation in sys/stat.h and make sure you have a bucket next to you. Anyway, currently there will not be both stat and __xstat symbols at the same time, as one of them gets overwritten to the other one during compilation. But this is not true anymore once we start chaining our mocking libraries. Therefore we need a wrapper that calls desired function from glibc. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
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.
