* 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. Jones2012-03-131-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 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 calls: lstatlist, lxattrlist, readlinklist.Richard Jones2009-11-021-0/+51
| | | | | | | | These three functions are very specifically designed for FUSE support, so we can list directories efficiently. Instead of making lots of lstat, lgetxattr and readlink calls, we can make just three calls per directory to grab all the attributes (which we then cache briefly).
* generator.ml: use new "Pathname" designationJim Meyering2009-08-131-12/+5
| | | | | | | | | | 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 Meyering2009-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | 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 Meyering2009-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | run this command: git grep -l -w ABS_PATH|xargs perl -pi -e \ 's/(?:ABS_PATH)( \(.*?,) (.*?)\)/ABS_PATH$1 return $2)/'
* Convert all TABs-as-indentation to spaces.Jim Meyering2009-08-031-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Do it by running this command: [exempted files are matched via .x-sc_TAB_in_indentation] git ls-files \ | pcregrep -vf .x-sc_TAB_in_indentation \ | xargs pcregrep -l '^ *\t' \ | xargs perl -MText::Tabs -ni -le \ '$m=/^( *\t[ \t]*)(.*)/; print $m ? expand($1) . $2 : $_'
* New commands: 'ln', 'ln-f', 'ln-s', 'ln-sf' and 'readlink'.Richard W.M. Jones2009-07-311-0/+137
These commands can be used to make hard and symbolic links. The readlink command is used to read existing symbolic links.
