Daniel P. Berrangé c80911f2de src: define virDomainGetMessages API
This API allows fetching a list of informational messages recorded
against the domain. This provides a way to give information about
tainting of the guest due to undesirable actions/configs, as well
as provide details of deprecated features.

The output of this API is explicitly targetted at humans, not
machines, so it is inappropriate to attempt to pattern match on
the strings and take action off them, not least because the messages
are marked for translation.

Should there be a demand for machine targetted information, this
would have to be addressed via a new API, and is not planned at
this point in time.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.

Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
