* tools: Fix podwrapper errors in tools directory.Richard W.M. Jones2012-08-281-14/+0
| | | | | | | This also makes the test for license "code" less strict, so it should only match POD, not Perl comments. This fixes commit 2f97bf873b64384835f257f8916bf1ebb2af62b4.
* Add optional compress flag to tar-in, tar-out APIs.Richard W.M. Jones2012-08-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | The compress flag can be used to control compression, one of: (none), "compress", "gzip", "bzip2", "xz", "lzop". Thus these calls can now be used instead of tgz-in/tgz-out/txz-in/txz-out, and also support more compression types. Mark these APIs as once_had_no_optargs so that compatibility code is generated.
* New API: guestfs_shutdown: Cleanly shutdown the backend.Richard W.M. Jones2012-07-031-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new API splits orderly close into a two-step process: if (guestfs_shutdown (g) == -1) { /* handle the error, eg. qemu error */ } guestfs_close (g); Note that the explicit shutdown step is only necessary in the case where you have made changes to the disk image and want to handle write errors. Read the documentation for further information. This change also: - deprecates guestfs_kill_subprocess - turns guestfs_kill_subprocess into the same as guestfs_shutdown - changes guestfish and other tools to call shutdown + close where necessary (not for read-only tools) - updates documentation - updates examples
* Tempus fugit.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-181-1/+1
| | | | Update all copyright dates to 2012.
* tools: Mark obsolete tools clearly in the man pages.Richard W.M. Jones2012-01-181-1/+1

* docs: Separate out combined =item 's in man pages.Richard W.M. Jones2011-07-161-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turn: =item B<-a> | B<--all> into: =item B<-a> =item B<--all> This gives a more natural-looking manual page, as well as making it easier to directly link to these sections.
* doc: Use I<-...> for cross-references to command line options.Richard W.M. Jones2011-05-011-8/+8
| | | | This is now used consistently across all the documentation.
* New tools: virt-copy-in, virt-copy-out, virt-tar-in, virt-tar-out.Richard W.M. Jones2011-01-031-0/+9
| | | | | Relatively trivial wrappers around the equivalent guestfish commands. Change also includes new man pages.
* tools: Use C API for inspection (RHBZ#642930).Richard W.M. Jones2010-10-281-20/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the following tools to use the C API for inspection: - virt-cat - virt-edit - virt-ls - virt-tar - virt-win-reg None of the tools in the tools/ directory now use the deprecated Perl inspection APIs.
* tools: Specify format of disks (RHBZ#642934,CVE-2010-3851).Richard W.M. Jones2010-10-221-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | Sys::Guestfs::Lib is changed in two ways: firstly we take the format string from libvirt and pass it to add_drive_opts. Secondly we allow an extra format => parameter to open_guest which allows the format to be specified for disk images. All the tools are changed to add an extra --format parameter allowing the format to be specified for direct disk images.
* tools: Add section describing quoting libvirt domain names to docs (RHBZ#643624)Richard W.M. Jones2010-10-181-0/+7

* tar: Remove redundant use statement.Richard Jones2010-07-111-1/+0
|
* Improved error if virt-inspector cannot find OSes in image (RHBZ#591142).Richard Jones2010-05-131-1/+0
|
* po: Include strings from Perl programs in the PO files (RHBZ#559963).Richard Jones2010-05-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | xgettext will only recognize '*.pl' as being a Perl file (otherwise it treats it as a C file and does not correctly find any strings in it). This commit also fixes two actual bugs that xgettext found in the strings in our Perl programs.
* Documentation updates.Richard Jones2010-04-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | 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.
* New tool: virt-tarRichard Jones2009-10-201-0/+288
This adds a new tool call virt-tar which is a general purpose archive and uploading tool. It doesn't add any functionality which wasn't previously possible using guestfish, but makes it simpler to access for some users. Examples: virt-tar -zx myguest /home home.tar.gz virt-tar -zu myguest uploadstuff.tar.gz /tmp
