I agree that in fact it don't have too much sense but I'm not sure that
it would be good to report error here. First of all, it could be that in
some cases it could be used to check if function have required chars so
there is no easy way to check which result is error in fact.
Second thing (maybe here I'm wrong) places where I wanted to use this
function are reporting error VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR and I'm not sure it is
good place to report such error in "string lib".
So maybe better solution would be just use strbprk (or strchr) in
src/network/bridge_driver.c to check if name contains \n char and not
introduce any new function to such check? What You think about that?
