https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1353296 On UNIX like systems there are no constraints on what characters can be in file/dir names (except for NULL, obviously). Moreover, some values that we think of as paths (e.g. disk source) are not necessarily paths at all. For instance, some hypervisors take that as an arbitrary identifier and corresponding file is then looked up by hypervisor in its table. Instead of trying to fix our regular expressions (and forgetting to include yet another character there), lets drop the validation completely. 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.
