In original style:
let () =
let filename = Sys.argv.(1) in
let g = Guestfs.create () in
Guestfs.add_drive_ro g filename;
Guestfs.launch g;
let roots = Guestfs.inspect_os g in
print_endline (Guestfs.inspect_get_product_name g roots.(0))
The same code in the new OO style:
let () =
let filename = Sys.argv.(1) in
let g = new Guestfs.guestfs in
g#add_drive_ro filename;
g#launch ();
let roots = g#inspect_os () in
print_endline (g#inspect_get_product_name roots.(0))
Be more consistent in allowing the user to override use of the
temporary directory by specifying $TMPDIR. Also prefer P_tmpdir
macro (defined in <stdio.h>) if that is defined, rather than
hard-coding "/tmp" for the fallback location.
The guestfish-only commands such as 'alloc' and 'edit' are
now generated from one place in the generator instead of being
spread around ad-hoc in the C code.
This API is a simpler replacement for the guestfish commands
list-devices / list-partitions / lvs, in the case where you are
just examining a guest by hand to see what it contains.
Typical usage and output in guestfish is like this:
$ guestfish --ro -a /dev/vg_trick/F13x64
><fs> run
><fs> list-filesystems
/dev/vda1: ext4
/dev/vg_f13x64/lv_root: ext4
/dev/vg_f13x64/lv_swap: swap
It can also be used to replace programs that try to mount
devices to determine if they are mountable filesystems.
This is for testing functions that return a device or partition
name, so that we can compare the return value with the canonical
device name (eg. "/dev/vda1" == "/dev/sda1").
Because this used to be compiled into the C test, it changed
every time the ISO was rebuilt (which because of Makefile deps
was every run).
Now it is calculated at runtime so the C test file doesn't keep
changing.
'src/generator.ml' is no more. Instead the generator is logically
split up over many different source files.
Read generator/README for help and tips.
We compile the generator down to bytecode, not native code. This
means it will run more slowly, but is done for maximum portability.
