The previously library-side ‘file_architecture’ API is reimplemented in the daemon, in OCaml. There are some significant differences compared to the C implementation: - The C code used libmagic. That is replaced by calling the ‘file’ command (because that is simpler than using the library). - The C code had extra cases to deal with compressed files. This is not necessary since the ‘file’ command supports the ‘-z’ option which transparently looks inside compressed content (this is a consequence of the change above). This commit demonstrates a number of techniques which will be useful for moving inspection code to the daemon: - Moving an API from the C library to the OCaml daemon. - Calling from one OCaml API inside the daemon to another (from ‘Filearch.file_architecture’ to ‘File.file’). This can be done and is done with C daemon APIs but correct reply_with_error handling is more difficult in C. - Use of Str for regular expression matching within the appliance.
