Define two new RPC message types VIR_NET_CALL_WITH_FDS and VIR_NET_REPLY_WITH_FDS. These message types are equivalent to VIR_NET_CALL and VIR_NET_REPLY, except that between the message header, and payload there is a 32-bit integer field specifying how many file descriptors have been passed. The actual file descriptors are sent/recv'd out of band. * src/rpc/virnetmessage.c, src/rpc/virnetmessage.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add support for handling passed file descriptors * src/rpc/virnetprotocol.x: Extend protocol for FD passing
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.
