* inspector: Generate language bindings for OCaml.Richard Jones2009-10-131-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Remove guestfs_wait_ready (turn it into a no-op).Richard Jones2009-09-213-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes guestfs_launch so that it both launches the appliance and waits until it is ready (ie. the daemon communicates back to us). Since we removed the pretence that we could implement a low-level asynchronous API, the need to call launch() followed by wait_ready() has looked a bit silly. Now guestfs_wait_ready() is basically a no-op. It is left in the API for backwards compatibility. Any calls to guestfs_wait_ready() can be removed from client code.
* Convert all TABs-as-indentation to spaces.Jim Meyering2009-08-031-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 : $_'
* Add 'readdir' call.Richard W.M. Jones2009-07-021-0/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a readdir call (mostly intended for programs). The return value is a list of guestfs_dirent structures. This adds the new types 'struct guestfs_dirent' and 'struct guestfs_dirent_list', along with all the code to return these in the different language bindings. Also includes additional tests for OCaml and Perl bindings to test this.
