libguestfs.git/python/examples, branch master

Add Lua bindings.

2012-11-17T20:02:42+00:00

These are relatively complete, although only lightly tested.  Missing:

 - events
 - last_errno
 - user_cancel

podwrapper: Add --license parameter, which is required.

2012-08-21T19:33:21+00:00

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.

man pages: Ensure consistent copyright/author sections, remove license

2012-08-21T19:16:29+00:00

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.

Replace mount-options with mount where appropriate.

2012-08-18T21:08:29+00:00

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.

examples: Use add_drive_opts function in examples.

2012-08-02T16:21:47+00:00

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.

build: Change calls to podwrapper.sh to use $(PODWRAPPER).

2012-07-16T17:56:57+00:00

This will allow us to easily change the location of this
script in future.

generator: Rename 'add_drive_opts' API to 'add_drive'.

2012-07-14T11:42:24+00:00

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).

New API: guestfs_shutdown: Cleanly shutdown the backend.

2012-07-03T20:27:29+00:00

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

perl, python, ruby: Fix comments on call to close method.

2012-07-03T13:45:42+00:00

Make the comments consistent.

Also make the Perl example call $g->close explicitly so it is
consistent with the other examples.

examples: In create_disk example, don't call set_autosync.

2012-07-03T13:45:42+00:00

This is now set by default in all supported versions of libguestfs.
It's just confusing if the examples refer to it.
