Guestfish feature: remote control of guestfish over a pipe.
The use case is to have a long-running guestfish process in
a shell script, and thus to avoid the overhead of starting
guestfish each time. Do:
eval `guestfish --listen`
guestfish --remote somecmd
guestfish --remote someothercmd
guestfish --remote exit
This patch also supports having multiple guestfish processes
at the same time.
The protocol is simple XDR messages over a Unix domain socket.
