* guestfs_find: Fix memory leak of sysrootdir.Richard Jones2009-10-201-0/+1
|
* virt-ls: Modify to use find0 instead of find.Richard Jones2009-10-201-4/+12
| | | | | find0 is more scalable than find. virt-ls will no longer crash if asked to recursively list / on a Linux guest.
* New API: find0 (unlimited version of find)Richard Jones2009-10-205-2/+176
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new API call guestfs_find0, which is like guestfs_find but mainly doesn't suffer from the protocol limit of the earlier command. The earlier command is not deprecated because it is still very useful. guestfs_find0 uses a FileOut parameter and writes the results to an external file. The filenames in the output are separated by ASCII NUL characters (so a bit like "find -print0"). There is also the addition of a regression test for this command.
* guestfs_find: Document protocol limits for this API call.Richard Jones2009-10-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | guestfs_find has to send the complete list of files in a single protocol message (hence, limited to 2-4 MB). Unfortunately on a typical Linux guest, guestfs_find ("/") will exceed this limit resulting in an error. Therefore we should add an unlimited version of this call in a future commit. This commit just documents the current limit.
* New tool: virt-lsRichard Jones2009-10-206-1/+239
| | | | | | | | | This tool makes available the functionality of "ls", "ll", and "find" in a slightly simpler to use form. Examples: virt-ls -l myguest /tmp
* New tool: virt-tarRichard Jones2009-10-206-3/+295
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new tool call virt-tar which is a general purpose archive and uploading tool. It doesn't add any functionality which wasn't previously possible using guestfish, but makes it simpler to access for some users. Examples: virt-tar -zx myguest /home home.tar.gz virt-tar -zu myguest uploadstuff.tar.gz /tmp
* tools: Make warnings about running on live guests more prominent.Richard Jones2009-10-192-9/+16
| | | | | Add prominent warnings to the man pages about how it is dangerous to run these tools against live guests.
* Move virt tools (virt-cat, virt-edit etc) into tools/ subdirectory.Richard Jones2009-10-1917-360/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the tool programs into a single directory: cat/* -> tools/virt-cat df/* -> tools/virt-df edit/* -> tools/virt-edit rescue/* -> tools/virt-rescue This in itself simplifies the build process because we only need one Makefile and one copy of 'run-locally'. 'run-*-locally' has become just 'run-locally' and takes an extra parameter which is the name of the tool, eg: run-locally cat [virt-cat params...] virt-inspector stays in its own directory, because this contains more than just a single Perl script.

* inspector: Generate language bindings for OCaml.Richard Jones2009-10-1310-21/+738
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds a generic mechanism for deriving language bindings for virt-inspector, and implements one concrete binding, for OCaml. The bindings are generated from the RELAX NG schema (virt-inspector.rng) which is supposed to be a correct and always up to date description of the XML that the virt-inspector program can generate. From the RNG we generate a set of types to describe the output of virt-inspector for the language, plus an XML parser, plus some glue code to actually run an external instance of virt-inspector and parse the resulting XML. At runtime, an external 'virt-inspector --xml <name>' command runs and the XML is parsed into language-specific structures. This has been tested on the four example files (inspector/example?.xml) The only particular difficulty about the OCaml binding is the use of Obj.magic, which is naughty but works because of the isomorphism between the representation of tuples and records in OCaml. This seems to cause no problems in my test program. Apart from this, the OCaml binding is straightforward and could be adapted easily for any other languages that want type-safe virt-inspector bindings. It's important to keep virt-inspector.rng up to date with changes to virt-inspector's XML output format.
* build: avoid parallel ocaml/... build failureJim Meyering2009-10-052-3/+1
| | | | | | | | A parallel build could fail due to the use in ocaml/examples of ocaml/guestfs.cmi before it was built. * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add both ocaml and ocaml/examples, to ensure they're built in this order, and not in parallel. * ocaml/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Don't define.
* Updated Polish translationPiotr Drąg2009-10-051-552/+309

* inspector: Fix inspector/Makefile.amRichard Jones2009-10-021-4/+3
| | | | | | | | Accidentally pushed the older version of the patch in commit 9d25e82491ddcf495e1d30694327e4bfd3a23445. This includes Jim Meyering's suggested changes from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-October/msg00017.html
* build: fix compile errorJim Meyering2009-10-021-3/+6
| | | | | | | | Link demo scripts with just-build library, not the installed one. * ocaml/examples/Makefile.am (OCAMLFINDFLAGS): New variable. (lvs, viewer): Use it. This fix is based on a suggestion from Rich Jones. This addresses RHBZ#526917.
* inspector: Add tests for RELAX NG schema.Richard Jones2009-10-027-1/+14758

|
* inspector: Canonicalize device names (fix RHBZ#526717).Richard Jones2009-10-011-1/+11
| | | | | Make filesystem device names canonical, so they are /dev/sd* instead of /dev/vd*.
* run-*-locally: The programs are now virt-[tool], not virt-[tool].plRichard Jones2009-10-015-5/+5
| | | | This fixes commit b488436cc54288fcae8988493749f2e6c87f274c.
* inspector: Don't bomb if no kernels detected.Richard Jones2009-10-011-16/+18
| | | | | | | | If $os->{kernels} wasn't defined, virt-inspector would exit with an error, leaving partial XML output. Change the code so it doesn't die in this case, instead just leaves out the <kernels> section.
* OCaml viewer: Use ocamlduce to replace xpath code.Richard Jones2009-09-305-48/+36

* OCaml viewer: Handle exceptions properly.Richard Jones2009-09-291-1/+8
|
* OCaml example: graphical disk usage viewer.Richard Jones2009-09-298-3/+776
| | | | | | | | | This is an example of how to write an app which uses libguestfs and libvirt, and has a responsive user interface (using threads). It is a Gtk-based "graphical virt-df". Read the top of the 'viewer.ml' file first for instructions on how to compile. This program is not compiled by default.
* virt-df: Add note about parsing CSV.Richard Jones2009-09-241-2/+27

* avoid use of all ctype macrosJim Meyering2009-09-2413-27/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * cfg.mk (disable_temporarily): Don't disable sc_avoid_ctype_macros. * fish/tilde.c: Remove unnecessary inclusion of ctype.h. * bootstrap: Add gnulib's c-ctype module to the list. * daemon/m4/gnulib-cache.m4: Likewise. * daemon/ext2.c: Include "c-ctype.h", not <ctype.h>. Use c_isspace, etc, rather than isspace. * daemon/guestfsd.c: Likewise. * daemon/lvm.c: Likewise. * daemon/proto.c: Likewise. * fish/fish.c: Likewise. * fish/tilde.c: Likewise. * src/generator.ml: Likewise. * src/guestfs.c: Likewise. * examples/to-xml.c: Likewise. * examples/Makefile.am (to_xml_CPPFLAGS): Add -I$(top_srcdir)/gnulib/lib so inclusion of "c-ctype.h" works. (to_xml_CPPFLAGS): Rename from to_xml_CFLAGS.
* maint: prune dead wood from list of skipped syntax-check rulesJim Meyering2009-09-241-18/+1
| | | | | * cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Remove now-passing and no-longer-relevant rule names.
* maint: use spaces, not TABs for indentationJim Meyering2009-09-244-30/+30
| | | | | | | | "make syntax-check" was failing. This fixes it. * HACKING: Indent with spaces, not TABs. * configure.ac: Likewise. * rescue/virt-rescue: Likewise. * src/generator.ml: Likewise.
* Prepare for 1.0.72.1.0.72Richard Jones2009-09-233-710/+730

* Include virt tools in EXTRA_DIST.Richard Jones2009-09-235-5/+10
| | | | | | Partially revert b488436cc54288fcae8988493749f2e6c87f274c. It turns out that automake doesn't automatically place bin_SCRIPTS in EXTRA_DIST.

* guestfish: Update 'SEE ALSO' section of the manpage.Richard Jones2009-09-231-1/+4
|
* New tool: virt-editRichard Jones2009-09-239-3/+329
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Edit any file in a guest. This was possibly previously using guestfish, but having a separate command makes it simpler. The usage is simply: virt-edit mydomain /some/file It runs $EDITOR or vi on the file, and if the user changes it, uploads the result back to the VM.
* virt-cat: Remove some unused Perl module includes.Richard Jones2009-09-231-3/+0
|
* Add 'virt-rescue' command.Richard Jones2009-09-2310-1/+309
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This command runs a "rescue appliance" against a virtual machine or disk image. This is useful for making ad-hoc interactive changes to virtual machines. $ virt-rescue --ro /dev/vg_trick/F11x64 Welcome to virt-rescue, the libguestfs rescue shell. Note: The contents of / are the rescue appliance. You have to mount the guest's partitions under /sysroot before you will be able to examine them. bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device bash: no job control in this shell ><rescue> mount /dev/vg_f11x64/lv_root /sysroot EXT4-fs (dm-0): barriers enabled kjournald2 starting: pid 269, dev dm-0:8, commit interval 5 seconds EXT4-fs (dm-0): internal journal on dm-0:8 EXT4-fs (dm-0): delayed allocation enabled EXT4-fs: file extents enabled EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode ><rescue> ls /sysroot/ bin dev home lib64 media opt root selinux sys usr boot etc lib lost+found mnt proc sbin srv tmp var ><rescue> exit
* Add direct appliance mode flag and implementation.Richard Jones2009-09-232-33/+94
| | | | | | | | When the g->direct flag is set, the appliance stdin/stdout are not connected to the library. Instead they inherit the stdin/stdout of the caller. This is used to implement virt-rescue.
* Tidy up appliance rescue code.Richard Jones2009-09-231-3/+7
| | | | | The appliance shouldn't run the daemon after we leave the rescue shell. It should just exit instead.
* Rejig configure.ac tests for qemu vmchannel support.Richard Jones2009-09-231-11/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | vmchannel is no longer required, so we shouldn't test for it. However we should test instead for user mode networking support. Also fix up the documentation / error messages. Always test for vmchannel and user mode networking support in qemu. This gives us more troubleshooting information if people report bugs.
* Prepare for 1.0.71.1.0.71Richard Jones2009-09-224-218/+212
| | | | | | Update version number and update PO files. Put latest version and release date on the website front page.

* Implement "null vmchannel" - no vmchannel needed!Richard Jones2009-09-221-64/+297
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit removes the requirement for vmchannel, although retaining support for it. In this configuration, known as "null vmchannel", the library listens on a random loopback port. It passes the number of this port to the appliance (guestfs_vmchannel=tcp:10.0.2.2:12345), and the daemon then connects back. The library, instead of connecting, listens and accepts the connection during guestfs_launch. QEMU SLIRP (user mode networking) is still required to make this work: SLIRP forwards the TCP connection transparently (instead of explicitly as with guestfwd) to 127.0.0.1:<port> There is a window in which any other local process on the machine could see the port number in the qemu command line and try to connect to it. This would be a devastating security hole, because any local process could pretend to be the daemon and feed back malicious replies to our remote procedure calls. To prevent this, we check the UID of the other side of the TCP connection. If the UID is different from the library's EUID, then we reject the connection. To do this we have to parse /proc/net/tcp. (On Solaris we could use getsockopt (SO_PEERCRED), but this doesn't work on Linux TCP sockets). Other vmchannel(s) are still supported. This is important, because we can't in general be sure the qemu will always support SLIRP. In particular, in recent versions of qemu it is possible to compile out SLIRP.
* Gnulib: Add arpa-inet and netinet-in modules.Richard Jones2009-09-222-0/+6
