The visibility field in action replaces in_fish, in_docs and internal.
The defined types are:
VPublic:
A public API. This is exported and documented in all language
bindings, and in guestfish.
VStateTest:
A public API which queries the library state machine. It is exported
and documented in all language bindings, but not guestfish.
VBindTest:
An internal API used only for testing language bindings. It is
guarded by GUESTFS_PRIVATE in the C api, but exported by all other
language bindings as it is required for testing. If language
bindings offer any way to guard use of these apis, that mechanism
should be used. It is not documented anywhere.
VDebug:
A debugging API. It is exported by all language bindings, and in
guestfish, but is not documented anywhere.
VInternal:
An internal-only API. It is guarded by GUESTFS_PRIVATE in the C api,
and not exported at all in any other language binding. It is not
documented anywhere.
Previously I noticed that bfan used this command without any error:
><fs> hivex-open /WINDOWS/system32/config/software write:ture
^^^^^^^^^^
This was because the code allowed any string to be evaluated as a
boolean.
The new code is stricter. It allows the following strings only case
insensitive (everything else is an error):
1
true
t
yes
y
on
0
false
f
no
n
off
Certain functions are intended to be internal only, but we currently
export them anyway. This change moves them into a separate section of
guestfs.h protected by a GUESTFS_PRIVATE variable. This change also
enables private structs, but doesn't implement any.
This change only affects the C api. Language bindings aren't affected,
but probably should be in the future.
This is a simple renaming of the files/modules.
Note that in OCaml, module names are derived from filenames by
capitalizing the first letter. Thus the old module names had the form
"Generator_api_versions". The new modules names have the form
"Api_versions".
