* 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.
* Improved checking, documentation of modes (RHBZ#582901, RHBZ#582929).Richard Jones2010-04-171-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | chmod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask. mkdir-mode: Disallow negative mode, document that filesystems may interpret the mode in different ways. mknod: Disallow negative mode, document mode affected by umask. umask: Check the range of umask mask value carefully.
* 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:..)
* availability: Add optional groups and implement guestfs_available call.Richard Jones2009-11-201-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current groups are defined very conservatively using the following criteria: (a) Would be impossible to implement on Windows because of sheer architectural differences (eg: mknod). (b) Already optional (augeas, inotify). (c) Not currently optional but not implemented on older RHEL and Debian releases (ntfs-3g.probe, scrub, zerofree). The optional groups I've defined according to these criteria are: . augeas . inotify . linuxfsuuid . linuxmodules . linuxxattrs . lvm2 . mknod . ntfs3g . scrub . selinux . zerofree (Note that these choices don't prevent us from adding more optional groups in future. On the other hand to avoid breaking ABIs we would not wish to change the above groups). The rest of this large commit is really just implementation: Each optional function is classified using Optional "group" flag in the generator. The daemon has to implement a function int optgroup_<name>_available (void); for each optional group. Some of these functions are fixed at compile time, and some do simple run-time tests. The do_available implementation in the daemon looks up the correct function in a table and runs it. We document the optional groups in the guestfs(3) man page. Also: I added a NOT_AVAILABLE macro in order to unify all the existing places where we had a message equivalent to "function __func__ is not available".
* daemon/Win32: make some functions and fields optional.Richard Jones2009-11-201-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | inotify: Make this optional on platforms that don't have this interface. mknod, mkfifo etc.: Make these optional on non-Unix platforms. readdir: If d_type field is missing on the platform, set the corresponding field to 'u'. stat: st_blocks and st_blksize are missing on non-Unix platforms, so set these fields to -1 in the corresponding structures.
* generator.ml: use new "Pathname" designationJim Meyering2009-08-131-7/+4
| | | | | | | | | | 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)/'
* remove trailing blanksJim Meyering2009-07-031-1/+1

* New commands: mknod, mkfifo, mknod_b, mknod_c and umask.Richard W.M. Jones2009-06-301-0/+69
These commands are used to create block and char device nodes or FIFOs (named pipes) in the filesystem. The umask command is required also because the permissions used by mknod are masked by the umask. Also document and guarantee that the umask starts as 022.
