Richard W.M. Jones [Thu, 11 Nov 2010 14:53:51 +0000 (14:53 +0000)]
Rewrite virt-cat in C.

With changes in the core API since 1.5, virt-cat was little
more than a Perl wrapper which did some command line argument
processing.  Thus it could easily be rewritten in C.

This version also shares core command line argument processing
with guestfish and guestmount, so the options have changed
slightly (old-style command line *is* supported).

 virt-cat -a disk.img file [file ...]
 virt-cat -d domname file [file ...]

Several other guestfish options are supported including encryption,
and with the new style multiple files can be downloaded.  See the
man page for details.

Richard Jones [Tue, 9 Nov 2010 18:53:01 +0000 (18:53 +0000)]
New API: add-domain

This new API allows you to add the disks from a libvirt
domain.

In guestfish you can use the 'domain' command to access the
API, eg:

><fs> domain Fedora14 libvirturi:qemu:///system
1

The returned number is the number of disks that were added.

Also here is a proposed (but commented out) low-level API
which would allow you to add a domain from a virDomainPtr.
However there are several problems with this API -- see discussion

13 years agogenerator: Add Pointer parameter type to the generator.
Richard Jones [Tue, 9 Nov 2010 12:08:06 +0000 (12:08 +0000)]
generator: Add Pointer parameter type to the generator.

This allows generic "foo *bar" pointers to be passed to
library functions (not to daemon functions).

In the language bindings (except Perl) these are handled
as generic int64s with the assumption being that any
pointer can be converted to and from this.  There is room
to add specific support for some pointer types in future
by specializing the match cases.  However this is inherently
tricky because it depends on the implementation details of
other bindings (eg. to support virDomainPtr in OCaml depends
on the implementation details of the ocaml-libvirt project).

Perl is slightly different in that you have to supply a
typemap.  Again this would depend on the implementation
detail of an external library unless you supplied a generic
typemap for int64.
