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

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".

15 years agoavailability: Add guestfs_available.
Richard Jones [Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:06:49 +0000 (13:06 +0000)]
availability: Add guestfs_available.

Start a new API allowing groups of functions to be tested for
availability.

There are two reasons for this:

(1) If libguestfs is built with missing dependencies (eg. no Augeas lib)
then the corresponding functions are disabled in the appliance.  Up till
now there has been no way to test for this except to speculatively
issue commands and check for errors.

(2) When we port the daemon to Win32 it is likely that major pieces of
functionality won't be available (eg. LVM support).  This API gives
a way to test for that.

There is no change for existing clients: you still have to check for
errors from individual API calls.

For new clients, you will be able to test for availability of particular
APIs.

Usage scenario (A): An LVM editing tool which requires
both the LVM API and inotify in order to function at all:

  char *apis[] = { "inotify", "lvm2", NULL };
  r = guestfs_available (g, apis);
  if (r == -1) {
    /* print an error and exit */
  }

Usage scenario (B): A general purpose tool which optionally provides
configuration file editing, but this can be disabled, the result
merely being reduced functionality:

  char *apis[] = { "augeas", NULL };
  r = guestfs_available (g, apis);
  enable_config_edit_menus = r == 0;

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.

This has passed a full round of tests.

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
