libguestfs.git/cat, branch oldlinux

tests: Add ./run --test option.

2012-06-26T22:34:30+00:00

This option, when added via
  TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = [...] $(top_builddir)/run --test
allows us to run the tests and only print the full output (including
debugging etc) when the test fails.

New API: guestfs_canonical_device_name.

2012-06-13T22:07:26+00:00

This API makes device names canonical, eg. /dev/vda1 -> /dev/sda1.

virt-ls: Don't initialize path = NULL.

2012-05-17T16:19:09+00:00

virt-ls: Fix --checksum option (RHBZ#822490).

2012-05-17T16:11:16+00:00

filesystems: Implement parents of MD and VG devices (RHBZ#805070).

2012-03-21T12:08:37+00:00

filesystems: Allow the parents column to contain multiple parents.

2012-03-20T19:38:05+00:00

A list of parents is passed for this column.

This column is rendered as an (internally) comma-separated list.

Use O_CLOEXEC / SOCK_CLOEXEC for almost all file descriptors.

2012-03-14T19:30:46+00:00

The presumption is that all file descriptors should be created with
the close-on-exec flag set.  The only exception are file descriptors
that we want passed through to exec'd subprocesses (mainly pipes and
stdin/stdout/stderr).

For open calls, we pass O_CLOEXEC as an extra flag, eg:

  fd = open ("foo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC);

This is a Linux-ism, but using a macro we can easily make it portable.

For sockets, similarly:

  sock = socket (..., SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, ...);

For accepted sockets, we use the Linux accept4 system call which
allows flags to be supplied, but we use the Gnulib 'accept4' module to
make this portable.

For dup, dup2, we use the Linux dup3 system call, and the Gnulib
modules 'dup3' and 'cloexec'.

Do not run appliance-related checks if not building appliance
