15 years agogenerator: Fix API of functions that return RBufferOut
Richard Jones [Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:37:10 +0000 (10:37 +0000)]
generator: Fix API of functions that return RBufferOut

(NB: The API / ABI doesn't actually change here - it's just made much
simpler to use).

The API for RBufferOut functions was unexpectedly hard to use in the
case where a zero-length buffer might be returned.  For discussion on
this see:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2009-November/thread.html#00115

This commit ensures that in the zero-length buffer case, the return
value is never NULL.  Thus code is now able to just check if the return
value == NULL to indicate an error, which is simpler for all concerned.

The implementation of this is, however, more complex because we have
to be careful about this case inside both the daemon and the library
code, which is what this commit does.

Generic partition creation interface.

This commit introduces a generic partition creation interface
which should be future-proof and extensible, and partially
replaces the old sfdisk-based interface.

The implementation is based on parted but is hopefully not too
dependent on the particulars of parted.

The following new calls are introduced:

  guestfs_part_init:
    Initialize a disk with a partition table.  Unlike the sfdisk-
    based interface, we also support GPT and other partition
    types, which is essential to scale to devices larger than 2TB.

  guestfs_part_add: Add a partition to an existing disk.

  guestfs_part_disk:
    Convenience function which combines part_init & part_add,
    creating a single partition that covers the whole disk.

  guestfs_part_set_bootable:
  guestfs_part_set_name:
    Set various aspects of existing partitions.

  guestfs_part_list:
    List partitions on a device.  This returns a programming-friendly
    list of partition structs (in contrast to sfdisk-l which cannot
    be parsed).

  guestfs_part_get_parttype:
    Return the partition table type, eg. "msdos" or "gpt".

The following calls are planned, but not added currently:

  guestfs_part_get_bootable
  guestfs_part_get_name
  guestfs_part_set_type
  guestfs_part_get_type
