Create a new top-level directory called test-data, which will carry
all the test data which is large and/or shared between multiple tests.
There are actually several new subdirectories created:
test-data/binaries: The pre-built binary and library files for random
architectures that we use to test various architecture detection
features (was part of tests/data).
test-data/blank-disks: The blank disks which are used for disk format
detection (was part of tests/data).
test-data/files: Other miscellaneous test files from tests/data that
are not included in the above.
test-data/phony-guests: The phony guests (was tests/guests).
test-data: The top-level directory builds the 'test.iso' image file
that is used for testing the C API and in miscellaneous other tests.
Use the generator_built variable to list any files which are built by
the generator. This ensures they get automatically rebuilt.
Three files were missing from EXTRA_DIST, so they were not included in
the tarball, meaning you would have needed OCaml to build from the
tarball. You would have seen this when building:
cd .. && /builddir/build/BUILD/libguestfs-1.31.9/generator/generator
written gobject/docs/guestfs-title.sgml
written customize/customize-synopsis.pod
written customize/customize-options.pod
generated 476921 lines of code
This API already existed (as guestfs___add_libvirt_dom), and was used
by a few tools.
This commit changes it to a public API.
Note that for reasons outlined in the previous commit message, it is
impossible to call this from guestfish or from non-C language
bindings.
The existing APIs guestfs_stat, guestfs_lstat and guestfs_lstatlist
return a stat structure that contains atime, mtime and ctime fields
that store only the timestamp in seconds.
Modern filesystems can store timestamps down to nanosecond
granularity, and the ordinary glibc stat(2) wrapper will return these
in "hidden" stat fields:
struct timespec st_atim; /* Time of last access. */
struct timespec st_mtim; /* Time of last modification. */
struct timespec st_ctim; /* Time of last status change. */
with the following macros defined for backwards compatibility:
#define st_atime st_atim.tv_sec
#define st_mtime st_mtim.tv_sec
#define st_ctime st_ctim.tv_sec
It is not possible to redefine guestfs_stat to return a longer struct
guestfs_stat with room for the extra nanosecond fields, because that
would break the ABI of guestfs_lstatlist as it returns an array
containing consecutive stat structs (not pointers). Changing the
return type of guestfs_stat would break API. Changing the generator
to support symbol versioning is judged to be too intrusive.
Therefore this adds a new struct (guestfs_statns) and new APIs:
guestfs_statns
guestfs_lstatns
guestfs_lstatnslist
which return the new struct (or array of structs in the last case).
The old APIs may of course still be used, forever, but are deprecated
and shouldn't be used in new programs.
Because virt tools are compiled with -DGUESTFS_WARN_DEPRECATED=1, I
have updated all the places calling the deprecated functions. This
has revealed some areas for improvement: in particular virt-diff and
virt-ls could be changed to print the nanosecond fields.
FUSE now returns nanoseconds in stat calls where available, fixing
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144891
Notes about the implementation:
- guestfs_internal_lstatlist has been removed and replaced by
guestfs_internal_lstatnslist. As the former was an internal API no
one should have been calling it, or indeed can call it unless they
start defining their own header files.
- guestfs_stat and guestfs_lstat have been changed into library-side
functions. They, along with guestfs_lstatlist, are now implemented
as wrappers around the new functions which just throw away the
nanosecond fields.
Sort the structs when generating code. Since the structs are
logically indepedent of each other, this should have no effect except
to make generated files list the structs in a different order.
However this also fixes the following build problem:
File "convert_linux.ml", line 322, characters 43-50:
Error: This expression has type G.stat = Guestfs.stat
but an expression was expected of type G.dirent = Guestfs.dirent
It turns out the OCaml bindings don't like the fact that we have
two structs with a common field name (dirent.ino and stat.ino).
In OCaml < 4.01, this means that any attempt to reference stat.ino
would fail because dirent.ino appears second in the file, overriding
stat.ino.
Sorting the structs has the side effect of making stat.ino appear
second, thus resolving the build failure above.
In OCaml >= 4.01 the compiler now uses some disambiguation rules based
on the known types to resolve this problem, so accessing either field
would work no matter what order they are listed in.
See:
http://ocaml.org/releases/4.01.0.htmlhttp://www.lexifi.com/blog/type-based-selection-label-and-constructorshttp://www.lexifi.com/blog/ocaml-extensions-lexifi-overidding-record-labels-and-constructors
This is useful for generating Linux initramfses from other types of
filesystems. For example:
guestfish --ro -a disk.img -i cpio-out / - | gzip -9 > initrd.img
Look for use of external_functions and fish_functions and replace with
use of external_functions_sorted and fish_functions_sorted where
possible. This ensures that the output of the generator is sorted as
far as possible.
I also checked for uses of internal_functions and documented_functions
but those are not used. The *_sorted versions are always used
instead.
This adds an extra optional boolean 'followsymlinks' flag to those 6
is-* APIs. If the flag is true, then symlinks are followed, ie. we
use stat instead of lstat in the test.
For the rationale behind this change, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974489
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.
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.

- Split this out into a new file (daemon/mktemp.c).
- I don't see a reason to deprecate the mkdtemp function which
works fine. Instead remove complex dir-making code from the
new function.
- Test and fix the patch (missing close(fd)).

Since generator source files were renamed, the comment at the

Unfortunately we cannot allow /* to appear within a comment,

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.

The compress flag can be used to control compression, one of: (none),
"compress", "gzip", "bzip2", "xz", "lzop". Thus these calls can now
be used instead of tgz-in/tgz-out/txz-in/txz-out, and also support
more compression types.
Mark these APIs as once_had_no_optargs so that compatibility code is
generated.
This commit makes grep into an optargs API, with flags for extended,
fixed, [case-]insensitive and compressed.
At the same time it deprecates: egrep, fgrep, grepi, egrepi, fgrepi,
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep, zgrepi, zegrepi and zfgrepi.
