Small comments below but okay with the idea

I would suggest to pass an GError ** as parameter...

Docs says we should avoid using this function on Windows but I guess it
should be fine with plain stdin.

Pass the GError here and return NULL if return value is different then
G_IO_STATUS_NORMAL

I guess that in case of errors reading stdin, we might want to
goto cleanup that could happen below...

Before this patch, in case of error we would goto cleanup, maybe its
better to keep it that way.

    if (error) {
    } else if (vvfile) {
    } else if (virt_viewer_util_extract_host(...) < 0 || type == NULL) {
    }
