Because of the linker script this didn't affect us. But it's best to rename this global so that conflicts cannot arise.	2010-08-25 11:41:17 +01:00

Rename global 'xdr_str'.

Two bits of XDR both contained a definition called 'str' which
means that 'xdr_str' was being exported globally twice.  Because
of the linker script this didn't affect us.  But it's best to
rename this global so that conflicts cannot arise.

Guestfish feature: remote control of guestfish over a pipe.

The use case is to have a long-running guestfish process in
a shell script, and thus to avoid the overhead of starting
guestfish each time.  Do:

 eval `guestfish --listen`

 guestfish --remote somecmd
 guestfish --remote someothercmd
 guestfish --remote exit

This patch also supports having multiple guestfish processes
at the same time.

The protocol is simple XDR messages over a Unix domain socket.
