Replaces code such as:
fd = open "test1.img"
ftruncate fd, size
close fd
g.add_drive "test1.img"
with the shorter and simpler:
g.add_drive_scratch size
This file is mainly a central place to:
- include localenv if it exists, and
- define the RHEL 5 backwards compatibility macros, instead of
spreading them over every other file.
This directory (containing HTML documentation) can be removed
completely when making clean. CLEANFILES cannot recursively remove a
directory, so use a clean-local rule instead.
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.
Rename guestfs_safe_malloc et al to guestfs___safe_malloc etc.
To use the private functions, code now has to define
-DGUESTFS_PRIVATE_FUNCTIONS=1. This will make it easier for us in
future to work out which programs are using these functions and to
minimize both the number of programs and the functions they are
calling.
Note that the Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby and Java bindings use
guestfs_safe_* calls. None of the other bindings do. This is a bug
(in the bindings using those functions): these functions will call the
out of memory callback on failure. This function defaults to abort(),
and since this happens from a language binding, there is no way to
change this default.
Since generator source files were renamed, the comment at the
top of each generated file was wrong.
Unfortunately we cannot allow /* to appear within a comment,
so the space is necessary.
Transscribe many hivex(3) APIs into the libguestfs API.
There is one hive handle per libguestfs handle, as with Augeas.
Note that hivex uses iconv_open for some APIs (eg. hivex_value_string).
But since we delete all the i18n files from the appliance, this
doesn't work -- iconv_open returns EINVAL. Therefore hivex APIs which
require iconv cannot be bound in the daemon.
This adds standard LICENSE and BUGS sections to all of the man pages
that are processed by podwrapper.
Modify all the calls to $(PODWRAPPER) to add the right --license
parameter according to the content. Note that this relaxes the
license on some code example pages, making them effectively BSD-style
licensed.
section.
Ensure each man page contains consistent COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR
sections.
Remove the LICENSE section. We will add that back in podwrapper in a
later commit.
Since our minimum supported version is now 1.16 and mount was fixed in
1.13.16, it is now safe to replace mount-options + empty options with
mount wherever it occurs.
In libguestfs 1.20, you will be able to use 'add_drive'
instead of 'add_drive_opts' (except in the C bindings).
However until libguestfs 1.20 is the minimum stable version
people will still be using old versions where you have to use
'add_drive_opts'. This makes the examples confusing.
Therefore continue to use 'add_drive_opts' in the examples
for now.
Add xfs_info to show the geometry of the xfs filesystem.

RWMJ:
- Updated po/POTFILES.
- Use xfs_ prefix for all struct fields.
- Return uninitialized fields as -1 / empty string.
- Copyedit the description.
By using the once_had_no_optargs flag, this change is backwards
compatible for callers (except Haskell, PHP and GObject as discussed
in earlier commit).
For example the existing method:
public void mkfs_opts (String fstype, String device, Map<..> optargs);
is now accompanied by this overloaded method which is a simple wrapper:
public void mkfs_opts (String fstype, String device)
throws LibGuestFSException
{
mkfs_opts (fstype, device, null);
}
The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process:
if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) {
/* handle the error, eg. qemu error */
}
guestfs_close (g);
Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case
where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write
errors. Read the documentation for further information.
This change also:
- deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess
- turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown
- changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close
where necessary (not for read-only tools)
- updates documentation
- updates examples
