* 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'.
* daemon: Implement a growable strings buffer type.Richard W.M. Jones2012-03-131-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously a lot of daemon code used three variables (a string list, 'int size' and 'int alloc') to track growable strings buffers. This commit implements a simple struct containing the same variables, but using size_t instead of int: struct stringsbuf { char **argv; size_t size; size_t alloc; }; Use it like this: DECLARE_STRINGSBUF (ret); //... if (add_string (&ret, str) == -1) return NULL; //... if (end_stringsbuf (&ret) == -1) return NULL; return ret.argv;

* daemon: Don't use ../src path to include generator_protocol.hRichard W.M. Jones2010-11-031-1/+1
| | | | | This file is already hard-linked into the current directory, so the relative path is not required.
* daemon: Fix read-file so it fails gracefully for large files (RHBZ#589039).Richard Jones2010-05-071-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pengzhen Cao noticed that read-file would fail for files larger than the protocol size; this is *not* the bug. However it would also lose protocol synchronization after this. The reason was that functions which return RBufferOut in the generator must not 'touch' the *size_r parameter along error return paths. I fixed read-file and initrd-cat, and I checked that pread was doing the right thing. This also adds regression tests for read-file with various categories of large file.
* daemon: Don't need to prefix error messages with the command name.Richard Jones2010-02-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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:..)
* New API call: initrd-cat to list a file from an initrd.Richard Jones2010-02-091-0/+121

* 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)/'
* Replace shell_quote function with %Q and %R printf specifiers.Richard Jones2009-07-281-11/+5
| | | | | | | %Q => simple shell quoted string %R => path will be prefixed by /sysroot eg. snprintf (cmd, sizeof cmd, "cat %R", path); system (cmd);
* Make /sysroot path configurable.Richard Jones2009-07-181-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | Currently /sysroot is hard-coded throughout the daemon code. This patch turns the path into a variable so that we can change it in future, for example to allow standalone mode to be implemented. This patch was tested by running all the C API tests successfully.

* All instances of 'pclose' now check for return value != 0.Richard W.M. Jones2009-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | We are generally interested that the subcommand ran without error, ie. had exit status of 0. 'pclose' returns the exit status, so we now check that pclose (fp) != 0.
* Add 'initrd-list' command to list contents of initrd images.Richard W.M. Jones2009-06-291-0/+88
Add 'initrd-list' command to list the files inside (new-style) initrd images. Update virt-inspector to use this instead of the less efficient download/unpack locally method.
