* Use O_CLOEXEC / SOCK_CLOEXEC for almost all file descriptors.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'.

* New API: fallocate64 (replaces fallocate).Richard Jones2010-05-271-0/+11
| | | | | | guestfs_fallocate takes an integer for the length, effectively limiting it to creating 1GB files. This new call takes an int64_t for the length, but is otherwise identical.
* Check error returns from posix_fallocate (RHBZ#579664).Richard Jones2010-04-071-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | posix_fallocate has a non-standard way to return error indications. Thus all our calls to posix_fallocate were effectively unchecked. For example: $ guestfish alloc test.img 1P $ echo $? 0 $ ll test.img -rw-rw-r--. 1 rjones rjones 0 2010-04-06 11:02 test.img $ rm test.img With this change, errors are detected and reported properly: $ ./fish/guestfish alloc test.img 1P fallocate: File too large This is a fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579664
* daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RPC stubs already prefix the command name to error messages. The daemon doesn't have to do this. As a (small) benefit this also makes the daemon slightly smaller. Code in the daemon such as: if (argv[0] == NULL) { reply_with_error ("passed an empty list"); return NULL; } now results in error messages like this: ><fs> command "" libguestfs: error: command: passed an empty list (whereas previously you would have seen ..command: command:..)
* daemon: Alternate implementation of posix_fallocate.Richard Jones2009-11-251-1/+22
| | | | | If the posix_fallocate function is not available [ie. Windows] use an alternate implementation that just loops and writes.
* sfdisk.c, fallocate.c: use a string literal as formatJim Meyering2009-08-171-1/+1
| | | | | * daemon/fallocate.c (do_fallocate): Format was not a string literal. * daemon/sfdisk.c (sfdisk): Likewise.
* generator.ml: use new "Pathname" designationJim Meyering2009-08-131-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Nearly every file-related function in daemons/*.c is affected: Remove this pair of statements from each affected do_* function: - NEED_ROOT (return -1); - ABS_PATH (dir, return -1); and change the type of the corresponding parameter to "const char *". * src/generator.ml: Emit NEED_ROOT just once, even when there are two or more Pathname args.
* update all NEED_ROOT usesJim Meyering2009-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | run this command: git grep -l -w NEED_ROOT|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/(NEED_ROOT) \((.*?)\)/$1 (return $2)/'
* update all uses of ABS_PATHJim Meyering2009-08-131-1/+1
| | | | | | run this command: git grep -l -w ABS_PATH|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/(?:ABS_PATH)( \(.*?,) (.*?)\)/ABS_PATH$1 return $2)/'
* New command: 'fallocate' to (pre-)allocate sized files.Richard W.M. Jones2009-07-311-0/+59
