I will take a look at that and use virFileReadAll().  For the record, 
what do you have against fgets?

Yes, I now see that after looking the VIR_RESIZE_N macro.

I will take a look at VIR_APPEND_ELEMENT().  Sounds like it might be 
cleaner and easier to understand.

Got it.

I agree.  When I originally started working on this, that was my plan, 
however; after spending days trying to understand how to use netlink to 
do retrieve the multicast list, I gave up when I found that iproute2 
does it by reading the file.  Can you point me to some good, detailed 
netlink documentation?  I've googled for it, looked at code examples and 
experimented by writing code snippets and have not been able to figure 
out how to retrieve the multicast list using netlink.
