* fish: New command: 'supported'Richard Jones2010-05-251-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This checks all available optional groups and prints out which ones are supported by the daemon. Note you must launch the appliance first. Example: ><fs> supported augeas yes inotify yes linuxfsuuid yes linuxmodules yes linuxxattrs yes lvm2 yes mknod yes ntfs3g yes ntfsprogs yes realpath yes scrub yes selinux yes xz yes zerofree yes
* New API: write for creating files with fixed content (RHBZ#501889).Richard Jones2010-05-201-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The guestfs_write call can be used to create small files with arbitrary 8 bit content, including \0 bytes. This replaces and deprecates write-file, which cannot be modified to use BufferIn because of an unfortunate choice in the ABI: the size parameter to write-file, if zero, means that the daemon tries to calculate the length of the buffer using strlen. However this fails if we pass a zero-length buffer using BufferIn because then the daemon tries to do strlen on a (really) zero length buffer, not even containing a terminating \0 character, thus segfaulting.

* Documentation: Use 'g' instead of 'handle' in documentation.Richard Jones2010-04-171-45/+50
| | | | | By convention we use 'g' for handles. Copy this convention through to all the documentation.
* In guestfs(3), unmount "/" directory in the example.Richard Jones2010-04-171-0/+1
|
* Add compilation/linking example to guestfs(3) man page.Richard Jones2010-04-171-0/+4
|
* Documentation updates.Richard Jones2010-04-111-0/+13
| | | | | | | Fix copyright years. Fix URLs to point to new PRC site. Make sure guestfish(1) and guestfs(3) manpages reference the current list of tools.
* Docs: Change exit(1) -> exit(EXIT_FAILURE)Richard Jones2010-03-121-1/+1

* Spin off hivex as a separate upstream project.Richard Jones2010-02-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit makes the semi-independent hivex library into a separate upstream project. The git repo for hivex is now: http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary Downloads of hivex are available here: http://libguestfs.org/download/ All questions, patches, bugs etc should be sent to the libguestfs mailing list and bug tracker.
* Turn ProtocolLimitWarning into link to documentation section.Richard Jones2010-02-151-0/+23

* Remove references to FTP, replace with FUSE.Richard Jones2010-02-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | We originally intended to implement an FTP server (and before than, an NFS server). But we didn't implement either. We did however implement a FUSE service (guestmount) which takes the place of both.
* Use mount-options instead of mount to avoid implicit -o sync.Richard Jones2010-02-101-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | guestfs_mount adds -o sync implicitly. This causes a very large performance problem for write-intensive programs (eg. virt-v2v). Document this as a "gotcha". Change the tests, guestfish, Sys::Guestfs::Lib, guestmount to use mount-options instead. (Note that this gotcha does not affect mount-ro). The source of the performance problem was first identified by Matthew Booth.
* Documentation: Added a section on libguestfs gotchas.Richard Jones2010-02-081-0/+55
|
* C#: Add documentation about experimental nature of these bindings.Richard Jones2010-01-041-5/+11
|
* Move guestfs(3) and guestfish(1) man pages into subdirectories.Richard Jones2009-12-311-0/+1300
These manual pages have for a very long time 'lived' in the top source directory. Clean up this situation by moving those manual pages (plus associated generated files) into the src/ and fish/ subdirectories respectively.
