The current virtlogd RPC protocol provides the ability to handle log files associated with QEMU stdout/err. The log protocol messages take the virt driver, domain name and use that to form a log file path. This is quite restrictive as it prevents us re-using the same RPC protocol messages for logging to char device backends where the filename can be arbitrarily user specified. It is also bad because it means we have 2 separate locations which have to decide on logfile name. This change alters the RPC protocol so that we pass the desired log file path along when opening the log file initially. Now the virt driver is exclusively in charge of deciding the log filename Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@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.
