Run this command across the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[012][0-9])-20[12][012]/$1-2023/g' `git ls-files`
and remove changes to po{,-docs}/*.po{,t} (these will be regenerated
later when we run 'make dist').
This code is attempting to construct a grub-install command like:
grub-install --root-directory=/sysroot/boot /dev/sda
In fact it was adding quoting to the --root-directory parameter where
it was not needed (because our "command" function uses exec).
Remove use of %R here (to avoid the extra quoting) and just use the
sysroot prefix directly.
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD was used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands
are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance.
It is no longer used by recent SUSE builds, so remove it.

Run the following command over the source:
perl -pi.bak -e 's/(20[01][0-9])-2016/$1-2017/g' `git ls-files`
(Thanks Rich for the perl snippet, as used in past years.)
guestfsd calls many different tools. Keeping track of all of them is
error prone. This patch introduces a new helper macro to put the command
string into its own ELF section:
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD(C_variable, command_name);
This syntax makes it still possible to grep for used command names.
The actual usage of the collected list could be like this:
objcopy -j .guestfsd_ext_cmds -O binary daemon/guestfsd /dev/stdout |
tr '\0' '\n' | sort -u
The resulting output will be used to tell mkinitrd which programs to
copy into the initrd.

RWMJ:
- Move str_vgchange at request of author.
- Fix snprintf call in daemon/debug.c
This also improves the documentation for this call, pointing out
several pitfalls in using it.
This unfortunately breaks existing callers that might use
guestfs_grub_install without checking for this new group.
The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages.
The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also
makes the daemon slightly smaller.
Code in the daemon such as:
if (argv[0] == NULL) {
reply_with_error ("passed an empty list");
return NULL;
}
now results in error messages like this:
><fs> command ""
libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list
(whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)
Nearly every file-related function in daemons/*.c is affected:
Remove this pair of statements from each affected do_* function:
- NEED_ROOT (return -1);
- ABS_PATH (dir, return -1);
and change the type of the corresponding parameter to "const char *".
* src/generator.ml: Emit NEED_ROOT just once, even when there are two or
more Pathname args.
Currently /sysroot is hard-coded throughout the daemon code.
This patch turns the path into a variable so that we can change
it in future, for example to allow standalone mode to be implemented.
This patch was tested by running all the C API tests successfully.
