=head2 Subdirectory F<lib>

=head3 File F<lib/actions-support.c>

Helper functions for the actions code in F<lib/actions-*.c>.

=head3 File F<lib/appliance-cpu.c>

The appliance choice of CPU model.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-cpu.c:guestfs_int_get_cpu_model>

 const char *
 guestfs_int_get_cpu_model (int kvm)

Return the right CPU model to use as the qemu C<-cpu> parameter or its
equivalent in libvirt.  This returns:

=over 4

=item C<"host">

The literal string C<"host"> means use C<-cpu host>.

=item some string

Some string such as C<"cortex-a57"> means use C<-cpu cortex-a57>.

=item C<NULL>

C<NULL> means no C<-cpu> option at all.  Note returning C<NULL> does not
indicate an error.

=back

This is made unnecessarily hard and fragile because of two stupid choices in
QEMU:

=over 4

=item *

The default for C<qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt> is to emulate a C<cortex-a15>
(WTF?).

=item *

We don't know for sure if KVM will work, but C<-cpu host> is broken with
TCG, so we almost always pass a broken C<-cpu> flag if KVM is semi-broken in
any way.

=back

=head3 File F<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c>

The appliance kernel command line.

=head4 Definition C<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c:VALID_TERM>

 #define VALID_TERM

Check that the $TERM environment variable is reasonable before we pass it
through to the appliance.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c:get_root_uuid_with_file>

 static char *
 get_root_uuid_with_file (guestfs_h *g, const char *appliance)

Given a disk image containing an extX filesystem, return the UUID.  The
L<file(1)> command does the hard work.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c:run_qemu_img_dd>

 static int
 run_qemu_img_dd (guestfs_h *g, const char *in_file, char *out_file)

Read the first 256k bytes of the in_file with L<qemu-img(1)> command and
write them into the out_file. That may be useful to get UUID of the QCOW2
disk image with further L<file(1)> command.  The function returns zero if
successful, otherwise -1.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c:get_root_uuid>

 static char *
 get_root_uuid (guestfs_h *g, const char *appliance)

Get the UUID from the appliance disk image.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-kcmdline.c:guestfs_int_appliance_command_line>

 char *
 guestfs_int_appliance_command_line (guestfs_h *g,
                                     const char *appliance,
 				    int flags)

Construct the Linux command line passed to the appliance.  This is used by
the C<direct> and C<libvirt> backends, and is simply located in this file
because it's a convenient place for this common code.

The C<appliance> parameter is the filename of the appliance (could be NULL)
from which we obtain the root UUID.

The C<flags> parameter can contain the following flags logically or'd
together (or 0):

=over 4

=item C<APPLIANCE_COMMAND_LINE_IS_TCG>

If we are launching a qemu TCG guest (ie. KVM is known to be disabled or
unavailable).  If you don't know, don't pass this flag.

=back

Note that this function returns a newly allocated buffer which must be freed
by the caller.

=head3 File F<lib/appliance-uefi.c>

Find the UEFI firmware needed to boot the appliance.

See also F<lib/uefi.c> (autogenerated file) containing the firmware file
locations.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance-uefi.c:guestfs_int_get_uefi>

 int
 guestfs_int_get_uefi (guestfs_h *g, char *const *firmwares,
                       const char **firmware, char **code, char **vars,
                       int *flags)

Return the location of firmware needed to boot the appliance.  This is
aarch64 only currently, since that's the only architecture where UEFI is
mandatory (and that only for RHEL).

C<firmwares> is an optional list of allowed values for the firmware
autoselection of libvirt. It is C<NULL> to indicate it is not
supported. C<*firmware> is set to one of the strings in C<firmwares> in case
one can be used.

C<*code> is initialized with the path to the read-only UEFI code file.
C<*vars> is initialized with the path to a copy of the UEFI vars file (which
is cleaned up automatically on exit).

In case a UEFI firmware is available, either C<*firmware> is set to a
non-C<NULL> value, or C<*code> and C<*vars> are.

C<*code> and C<*vars> should be freed by the caller, and C<*firmware>
B<must> not.

If the function returns C<-1> then there was a real error which should cause
appliance building to fail (no UEFI firmware is not an error).

See also F<virt-v2v.git/v2v/utils.ml>:find_uefi_firmware

=head3 File F<lib/appliance.c>

This file deals with building the libguestfs appliance.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:guestfs_int_build_appliance>

 int
 guestfs_int_build_appliance (guestfs_h *g,
 			     char **kernel_rtn,
 			     char **initrd_rtn,
 			     char **appliance_rtn)

Locate or build the appliance.

This function locates or builds the appliance as necessary, handling the
supermin appliance, caching of supermin-built appliances, or using either a
fixed or old-style appliance.

The return value is C<0> = good, C<-1> = error.  Returned in
C<appliance.kernel> will be the name of the kernel to use,
C<appliance.initrd> the name of the initrd, C<appliance.image> the name of
the ext2 root filesystem.  C<appliance.image> can be C<NULL>, meaning that
we are using an old-style (non-ext2) appliance.  All three strings must be
freed by the caller.  However the referenced files themselves must I<not> be
deleted.

The process is as follows:

=over 4

=item 1.

Look in C<path> which contains a supermin appliance skeleton.  If no element
has this, skip straight to step 3.

=item 2.

Call C<supermin --build> to build the full appliance (if it needs to be
rebuilt).  If this is successful, return the full appliance.

=item 3.

Check C<path>, looking for a fixed appliance.  If one is found, return it.

=item 4.

Check C<path>, looking for an old-style appliance.  If one is found, return
it.

=back

The supermin appliance cache directory lives in F<$TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID/>
and consists of up to four files:

  $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID/lock            - the supermin lock file
  $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID/appliance.d/kernel - the kernel
  $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID/appliance.d/initrd - the supermin initrd
  $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID/appliance.d/root   - the appliance

Multiple instances of libguestfs with the same UID may be racing to create
an appliance.  However (since supermin E<ge> 5) supermin provides a
I<--lock> flag and atomic update of the F<appliance.d> subdirectory.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:locate_or_build_appliance>

 static int
 locate_or_build_appliance (guestfs_h *g,
                            struct appliance_files *appliance,
                            const char *path)

Check C<path>, looking for one of appliances: supermin appliance, fixed
appliance or old-style appliance.  If one of the fixed appliances is found,
return it.  If the supermin appliance skeleton is found, build and return
appliance.

Return values:

  1 = appliance is found, returns C<appliance>,
  0 = appliance not found,
 -1 = error which aborts the launch process.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:search_appliance>

 static int
 search_appliance (guestfs_h *g, struct appliance_files *appliance)

Search elements of C<g-E<gt>path>, returning the first C<appliance> element
which matches the predicate function C<locate_or_build_appliance>.

Return values:

  1 = a path element matched, returns C<appliance>,
  0 = no path element matched,
 -1 = error which aborts the launch process.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:build_supermin_appliance>

 static int
 build_supermin_appliance (guestfs_h *g,
                           const char *supermin_path,
                           struct appliance_files *appliance)

Build supermin appliance from C<supermin_path> to F<$TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID>.

Returns: C<0> = built or C<-1> = error (aborts launch).

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:run_supermin_build>

 static int
 run_supermin_build (guestfs_h *g,
                     const char *lockfile,
                     const char *appliancedir,
                     const char *supermin_path)

Run C<supermin --build> and tell it to generate the appliance.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:dir_contains_file>

 static int
 dir_contains_file (guestfs_h *g, const char *dir, const char *file)

Returns true iff C<file> is contained in C<dir>.

=head4 Function C<lib/appliance.c:dir_contains_files>

 static int
 dir_contains_files (guestfs_h *g, const char *dir, ...)

Returns true iff every listed file is contained in C<dir>.

=head3 File F<lib/command.c>

A wrapper for running external commands, loosely based on libvirt's
C<virCommand> interface.

In outline to use this interface you must:

=over 4

=item 1.

Create a new command handle:

 struct command *cmd;
 cmd = guestfs_int_new_command (g);

=item 2.

I<Either> add arguments:

 guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg (cmd, "qemu-img");
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg (cmd, "info");
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg (cmd, filename);

(B<NB:> You don't need to add a C<NULL> argument at the end.)

=item 3.

I<Or> construct a command using a mix of quoted and unquoted strings.  (This
is useful for L<system(3)>/C<popen("r")>-style shell commands, with the
added safety of allowing args to be quoted properly).

 guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_unquoted (cmd, "qemu-img info ");
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_quoted (cmd, filename);

=item 4.

Set various flags, such as whether you want to capture errors in the regular
libguestfs error log.

=item 5.

Run the command.  This is what does the L<fork(2)> call, optionally loops
over the output, and then does a L<waitpid(3)> and returns the exit status
of the command.

 r = guestfs_int_cmd_run (cmd);
 if (r == -1)
   // error
 // else test r using the WIF* functions

=item 6.

Close the handle:

 guestfs_int_cmd_close (cmd);

(or use C<CLEANUP_CMD_CLOSE>).

=back

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_new_command>

 struct command *
 guestfs_int_new_command (guestfs_h *g)

Create a new command handle.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg (struct command *cmd, const char *arg)

Add single arg (for C<execv>-style command execution).

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg_format>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg_format (struct command *cmd, const char *fs, ...)

Add single arg (for C<execv>-style command execution)  using a
L<printf(3)>-style format string.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_unquoted>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_unquoted (struct command *cmd, const char *str)

Add a string (for L<system(3)>-style command execution).

This variant adds the strings without quoting them, which is dangerous if
the string contains untrusted content.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_quoted>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_add_string_quoted (struct command *cmd, const char *str)

Add a string (for L<system(3)>-style command execution).

The string is enclosed in double quotes, with any special characters within
the string which need escaping done.  This is used to add a single argument
to a L<system(3)>-style command string.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_set_stdout_callback>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_set_stdout_callback (struct command *cmd,
                                      cmd_stdout_callback stdout_callback,
                                      void *stdout_data, unsigned flags)

Set a callback which will capture stdout.

If flags contains C<CMD_STDOUT_FLAG_LINE_BUFFER> (the default), then the
callback is called line by line on the output.  If there is a trailing C<\n>
then it is automatically removed before the callback is called.  The line
buffer is C<\0>-terminated.

If flags contains C<CMD_STDOUT_FLAG_UNBUFFERED>, then buffers are passed to
the callback as it is received from the command.  Note in this case the
buffer is I<not> C<\0>-terminated, so you need to may attention to the
length field in the callback.

If flags contains C<CMD_STDOUT_FLAG_WHOLE_BUFFER>, then the callback is
called exactly once, with the entire buffer.  Note in this case the buffer
is I<not> C<\0>-terminated, so you need to may attention to the length field
in the callback.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_set_stderr_to_stdout>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_set_stderr_to_stdout (struct command *cmd)

Equivalent to adding C<2E<gt>&1> to the end of the command.  This is
incompatible with the C<capture_errors> flag, because it doesn't make sense
to combine them.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_clear_capture_errors>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_clear_capture_errors (struct command *cmd)

Clear the C<capture_errors> flag.  This means that any errors will go to
stderr, instead of being captured in the event log, and that is usually
undesirable.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_clear_close_files>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_clear_close_files (struct command *cmd)

Don't close file descriptors after the fork.

XXX Should allow single fds to be sent to child process.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_set_child_callback>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_set_child_callback (struct command *cmd,
                                     cmd_child_callback child_callback,
                                     void *data)

Set a function to be executed in the child, right before the execution.  Can
be used to setup the child, for example changing its current directory.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_set_child_rlimit>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_set_child_rlimit (struct command *cmd, int resource, long limit)

Set up child rlimits, in case the process we are running could consume lots
of space or time.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:finish_command>

 static void
 finish_command (struct command *cmd)

Finish off the command by either C<NULL>-terminating the argv array or
adding a terminating C<\0> to the string, or die with an internal error if
no command has been added.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:loop>

 static int
 loop (struct command *cmd)

The loop which reads errors and output and directs it either to the log or
to the stdout callback as appropriate.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_run>

 int
 guestfs_int_cmd_run (struct command *cmd)

Fork, run the command, loop over the output, and waitpid.

Returns the exit status.  Test it using C<WIF*> macros.

On error: Calls C<error> and returns C<-1>.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_run>

 int
 guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_run (struct command *cmd, const char *mode)

Fork and run the command, but don't wait.  Roughly equivalent to S<C<popen
(..., "r"|"w")>>.

Returns the file descriptor of the pipe, connected to stdout (C<"r">) or
stdin (C<"w">) of the child process.

After reading/writing to this pipe, call C<guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait> to
wait for the status of the child.

Errors from the subcommand cannot be captured to the error log using this
interface.  Instead the caller should call
C<guestfs_int_cmd_get_pipe_errors> (after C<guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait>
returns an error).

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait>

 int
 guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait (struct command *cmd)

Wait for a subprocess created by C<guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_run> to finish.  On
error (eg. failed syscall) this returns C<-1> and sets the error.  If the
subcommand fails, then use C<WIF*> macros to check this, and call
C<guestfs_int_cmd_get_pipe_errors> to read the error messages printed by the
child.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_get_pipe_errors>

 char *
 guestfs_int_cmd_get_pipe_errors (struct command *cmd)

Read the error messages printed by the child.  The caller must free the
returned buffer after use.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_close>

 void
 guestfs_int_cmd_close (struct command *cmd)

Close the C<cmd> object and free all resources.

=head4 Function C<lib/command.c:process_line_buffer>

 static void
 process_line_buffer (struct command *cmd, int closed)

Deal with buffering stdout for the callback.

=head3 File F<lib/conn-socket.c>

This file handles connections to the child process where this is done over
regular POSIX sockets.

=head4 Function C<lib/conn-socket.c:handle_log_message>

 static int
 handle_log_message (guestfs_h *g,
                     struct connection_socket *conn)

This is called if C<conn-E<gt>console_sock> becomes ready to read while we
are doing one of the connection operations above.  It reads and deals with
the log message.

Returns:

=over 4

=item C<1>

log message(s) were handled successfully

=item C<0>

connection to appliance closed

=item C<-1>

error

=back

=head4 Function C<lib/conn-socket.c:guestfs_int_new_conn_socket_listening>

 struct connection *
 guestfs_int_new_conn_socket_listening (guestfs_h *g,
 				       int daemon_accept_sock,
 				       int console_sock)

Create a new socket connection, listening.

Note that it's OK for C<console_sock> to be passed as C<-1>, meaning there's
no console available for this appliance.

After calling this, C<daemon_accept_sock> is owned by the connection, and
will be closed properly either in C<accept_connection> or
C<free_connection>.

=head4 Function C<lib/conn-socket.c:guestfs_int_new_conn_socket_connected>

 struct connection *
 guestfs_int_new_conn_socket_connected (guestfs_h *g,
 				       int daemon_sock,
 				       int console_sock)

Create a new socket connection, connected.

As above, but the caller passes us a connected C<daemon_sock> and promises
not to call C<accept_connection>.

=head3 File F<lib/create.c>

APIs for creating empty disks.

Mostly this consists of wrappers around the L<qemu-img(1)> program.

=head4 Definition C<lib/create.c:VALID_FORMAT>

 #define VALID_FORMAT

Check for valid backing format.  Allow any C<^[[:alnum]]+$> (in C locale),
but limit the length to something reasonable.

=head3 File F<lib/drives.c>

Drives added are stored in an array in the handle.  Code here manages that
array and the individual C<struct drive> data.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:create_overlay>

 static int
 create_overlay (guestfs_h *g, struct drive *drv)

For readonly drives, create an overlay to protect the original drive
content.  Note we never need to clean up these overlays since they are
created in the temporary directory and deleted when the handle is closed.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:create_drive_file>

 static struct drive *
 create_drive_file (guestfs_h *g,
                    const struct drive_create_data *data)

Create and free the C<struct drive>.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:create_drive_dev_null>

 static struct drive *
 create_drive_dev_null (guestfs_h *g,
                        struct drive_create_data *data)

Create the special F</dev/null> drive.

Traditionally you have been able to use F</dev/null> as a filename, as many
times as you like.  Ancient KVM (RHEL 5) cannot handle adding F</dev/null>
readonly.  qemu 1.2 + virtio-scsi segfaults when you use any zero-sized file
including F</dev/null>.

Because of these problems, we replace F</dev/null> with a non-zero sized
temporary file.  This shouldn't make any difference since users are not
supposed to try and access a null drive.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:drive_to_string>

 static char *
 drive_to_string (guestfs_h *g, const struct drive *drv)

Convert a C<struct drive> to a string for debugging.  The caller must free
this string.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:add_drive_to_handle_at>

 static void
 add_drive_to_handle_at (guestfs_h *g, struct drive *d, size_t drv_index)

Add C<struct drive> to the C<g-E<gt>drives> vector at the given index
C<drv_index>.  If the array isn't large enough it is reallocated.  The index
must not contain a drive already.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:add_drive_to_handle>

 static void
 add_drive_to_handle (guestfs_h *g, struct drive *d)

Add struct drive to the end of the C<g-E<gt>drives> vector in the handle.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:guestfs_int_add_dummy_appliance_drive>

 void
 guestfs_int_add_dummy_appliance_drive (guestfs_h *g)

Called during launch to add a dummy slot to C<g-E<gt>drives>.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:guestfs_int_free_drives>

 void
 guestfs_int_free_drives (guestfs_h *g)

Free up all the drives in the handle.

=head4 Definition C<lib/drives.c:VALID_FORMAT_IFACE>

 #define VALID_FORMAT_IFACE

Check string parameter matches regular expression C<^[-_[:alnum:]]+$> (in C
locale).

=head4 Definition C<lib/drives.c:VALID_DISK_LABEL>

 #define VALID_DISK_LABEL

Check the disk label is reasonable.  It can't contain certain characters,
eg. C<'/'>, C<','>.  However be stricter here and ensure it's just
alphabetic and E<le> 20 characters in length.

=head4 Definition C<lib/drives.c:VALID_HOSTNAME>

 #define VALID_HOSTNAME

Check the server hostname is reasonable.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:valid_port>

 static int
 valid_port (int port)

Check the port number is reasonable.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:valid_blocksize>

 static int
 valid_blocksize (int blocksize)

Check the block size is reasonable.  It can't be other then 512 or 4096.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:guestfs_impl_remove_drive>

 int
 guestfs_impl_remove_drive (guestfs_h *g, const char *label)

This function implements L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_remove_drive>.

Depending on whether we are hotplugging or not, this function does slightly
different things: If not hotplugging, then the drive just disappears as if
it had never been added.  The later drives "move up" to fill the space.
When hotplugging we have to do some complex stuff, and we usually end up
leaving an empty (C<NULL>) slot in the C<g-E<gt>drives> vector.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:guestfs_int_checkpoint_drives>

 size_t
 guestfs_int_checkpoint_drives (guestfs_h *g)

Checkpoint and roll back drives, so that groups of drives can be added
atomically.  Only used by L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_add_domain>.

=head4 Function C<lib/drives.c:guestfs_impl_debug_drives>

 char **
 guestfs_impl_debug_drives (guestfs_h *g)

Internal function to return the list of drives.

=head3 File F<lib/errors.c>

This file handles errors, and also debug, trace and warning messages.

Errors in libguestfs API calls are handled by setting an error message and
optional errno in the handle.  The caller has the choice of testing API
calls to find out if they failed and then querying the last error from the
handle, and/or getting a callback.

From the point of view of the library source, generally you should use the
C<error> or C<perrorf> macros along error paths, eg:

 if (something_bad) {
   error (g, "something bad happened");
   return -1;
 }

Make sure to call the C<error> or C<perrorf> macro exactly once along each
error path, since the handle can only store a single error and the previous
error will be overwritten.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_warning>

 void
 guestfs_int_warning (guestfs_h *g, const char *fs, ...)

Print a warning.

Code should I<not> call this function directly.  Use the S<C<warning (g, fs,
...)>> macro.

Warnings are printed unconditionally.  We try to make these rare: Generally
speaking, a warning should either be an error, or if it's not important for
end users then it should be a debug message.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_debug>

 void
 guestfs_int_debug (guestfs_h *g, const char *fs, ...)

Print a debug message.

Code should I<not> call this function directly.  To add debug messages in
the library, use the S<C<debug (g, fs, ...)>> macro.  The macro checks if
C<g-E<gt>verbose> is false and avoids the function call, meaning the macro
is more efficient.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_trace>

 void
 guestfs_int_trace (guestfs_h *g, const char *fs, ...)

Print a trace message.

Do not call this function.  All calls are generated automatically.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_error_errno>

 void
 guestfs_int_error_errno (guestfs_h *g, int errnum, const char *fs, ...)

Set the last error and errno in the handle, and optionally raise the error
callback if one is defined.

If you don't need to set errno, use the S<C<error (g, fs, ...)>> macro
instead of calling this directly.  If you need to set errno then there is no
macro wrapper, so calling this function directly is fine.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_perrorf>

 void
 guestfs_int_perrorf (guestfs_h *g, const char *fs, ...)

Similar to L<perror(3)>, but it sets the last error in the handle, raises
the error callback if one is defined, and supports format strings.

You should probably use the S<C<perrorf (g, fs, ...)>> macro instead of
calling this directly.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_launch_failed_error>

 void
 guestfs_int_launch_failed_error (guestfs_h *g)

Raise a launch failed error in a standard format.

Since this is the most common error seen by people who have installation
problems, buggy qemu, etc, and since no one reads the FAQ, describe in this
error message what resources are available to debug launch problems.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_unexpected_close_error>

 void
 guestfs_int_unexpected_close_error (guestfs_h *g)

Raise an error if the appliance unexpectedly crashes after launch.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_launch_timeout>

 void
 guestfs_int_launch_timeout (guestfs_h *g)

Raise an error if the appliance hangs during launch.

=head4 Function C<lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_external_command_failed>

 void
 guestfs_int_external_command_failed (guestfs_h *g, int status,
 				     const char *cmd_name, const char *extra)

Raise an error if an external command fails.

C<status> is the status code of the command (eg. returned from L<waitpid(2)>
or L<system(3)>).  This function turns the status code into an explanatory
string.

=head3 File F<lib/events.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/events.c:replace_old_style_event_callback>

 static void
 replace_old_style_event_callback (guestfs_h *g,
                                   guestfs_event_callback cb,
                                   uint64_t event_bitmask,
                                   void *opaque,
                                   void *opaque2)

Emulate old-style callback API.

There were no event handles, so multiple callbacks per event were not
supported.  Calling the same C<guestfs_set_*_callback> function would
replace the existing event.  Calling it with C<cb == NULL> meant that the
caller wanted to remove the callback.

=head3 File F<lib/guestfs-internal-all.h>

This header contains definitions which are shared by all parts of
libguestfs, ie. the daemon, the library, language bindings and virt tools
(ie. I<all> C code).

If you need a definition used by only the library, put it in
F<lib/guestfs-internal.h> instead.

If a definition is used by only a single tool, it should not be in any
shared header file at all.

=head3 File F<lib/guestfs-internal.h>

This header file is included in the libguestfs library (F<lib/>)  only.

See also F<lib/guestfs-internal-all.h>.

Backend operations.

Each backend (eg. libvirt, direct) defines some functions which get run at
various places in the handle lifecycle (eg. at launch, shutdown).  The
backend defines this struct pointing to those functions.

 struct connection {
   const struct connection_ops *ops;
 
   /* In the real struct, private data used by each connection module

Connection module.

A C<connection> represents the appliance console connection plus the daemon
connection.  It hides the underlying representation (POSIX sockets,
C<virStreamPtr>).

=head4 Structure C<lib/guestfs-internal.h:cached_feature>

 struct cached_feature {

The libguestfs handle.

=head4 Structure C<lib/guestfs-internal.h:version>

 struct version {
   int v_major;
   int v_minor;
   int v_micro;
 };

Used for storing major.minor.micro version numbers.  See F<lib/version.c>
for more information.

=head3 File F<lib/guid.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/guid.c:guestfs_int_validate_guid>

 int
 guestfs_int_validate_guid (const char *str)

Check whether a string supposed to contain a GUID actually contains it.  It
can recognize strings either as C<{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}> or
C<21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D>.

=head3 File F<lib/handle.c>

This file deals with the C<guestfs_h> handle, creating it, closing it, and
initializing/setting/getting fields.

=head4 Function C<lib/handle.c:init_libguestfs>

 static void
 init_libguestfs (void)

No initialization is required by libguestfs, but libvirt and libxml2 require
initialization if they might be called from multiple threads.  Hence this
constructor function which is called when libguestfs is first loaded.

=head4 Function C<lib/handle.c:shutdown_backend>

 static int
 shutdown_backend (guestfs_h *g, int check_for_errors)

This function is the common path for shutting down the backend qemu process.

C<guestfs_shutdown> calls C<shutdown_backend> with C<check_for_errors=1>.
C<guestfs_close> calls C<shutdown_backend> with C<check_for_errors=0>.

C<check_for_errors> is a hint to the backend about whether we care about
errors or not.  In the libvirt case it can be used to optimize the shutdown
for speed when we don't care.

=head4 Function C<lib/handle.c:close_handles>

 static void
 close_handles (void)

Close all open handles (called from L<atexit(3)>).

=head4 Function C<lib/handle.c:guestfs_int_get_backend_setting_bool>

 int
 guestfs_int_get_backend_setting_bool (guestfs_h *g, const char *name)

This is a convenience function, but we might consider exporting it as an API
in future.

=head3 File F<lib/info.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/info.c:qemu_img_supports_U_option>

 static int
 qemu_img_supports_U_option (guestfs_h *g)

Test if the qemu-img info command supports the C<-U> option to disable
locking.  The result is memoized in the handle.

Note this option was added in qemu 2.11.  We can remove this test when we
can assume everyone is using qemu >= 2.11.

=head3 File F<lib/inspect-icon.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/inspect-icon.c:guestfs_int_download_to_tmp>

 char *
 guestfs_int_download_to_tmp (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename,
                              const char *extension,
                              uint64_t max_size)

Download a guest file to a local temporary file.

The name of the temporary (downloaded) file is returned.  The caller must
free the pointer, but does I<not> need to delete the temporary file.  It
will be deleted when the handle is closed.

The name of the temporary file is randomly generated, but an extension can
be specified using C<extension> (or pass C<NULL> for none).

Refuse to download the guest file if it is larger than C<max_size>.  On this
and other errors, C<NULL> is returned.

=head3 File F<lib/launch-direct.c>

Implementation of the C<direct> backend.

For more details see L<guestfs(3)/BACKENDS>.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch-direct.c:add_drive_standard_params>

 static int
 add_drive_standard_params (guestfs_h *g, struct backend_direct_data *data,
                            struct qemuopts *qopts,
                            size_t i, struct drive *drv)

Add the standard elements of the C<-drive> parameter.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch-direct.c:add_device_blocksize_params>

 static int
 add_device_blocksize_params (guestfs_h *g, struct qemuopts *qopts,
                            struct drive *drv)

Add the physical_block_size and logical_block_size elements of the
C<-device> parameter.

=head3 File F<lib/launch-libvirt.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/launch-libvirt.c:get_source_format_or_autodetect>

 static char *
 get_source_format_or_autodetect (guestfs_h *g, struct drive *drv)

Return C<drv-E<gt>src.format>, but if it is C<NULL>, autodetect the format.

libvirt has disabled the feature of detecting the disk format, unless the
administrator sets C<allow_disk_format_probing=1> in
F</etc/libvirt/qemu.conf>.  There is no way to detect if this option is set,
so we have to do format detection here using C<qemu-img> and pass that to
libvirt.

This can still be a security issue, so in most cases it is recommended the
users pass the format to libguestfs which will faithfully pass that straight
through to libvirt without doing autodetection.

Caller must free the returned string.  On error this function sets the error
in the handle and returns C<NULL>.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch-libvirt.c:make_qcow2_overlay>

 static char *
 make_qcow2_overlay (guestfs_h *g, const char *backing_drive,
                     const char *format)

Create a qcow2 format overlay, with the given C<backing_drive> (file).  The
C<format> parameter is the backing file format.  The C<format> parameter can
be NULL, in this case the backing format will be determined automatically.
This is used to create the appliance overlay, and also for read-only drives.

=head3 File F<lib/launch.c>

This file implements L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_launch>.

Most of the work is done by the backends (see L<guestfs(3)/BACKEND>), which
are implemented in F<lib/launch-direct.c>, F<lib/launch-libvirt.c> etc, so
this file mostly passes calls through to the current backend.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_launch_send_progress>

 void
 guestfs_int_launch_send_progress (guestfs_h *g, int perdozen)

This function sends a launch progress message.

Launching the appliance generates approximate progress messages.  Currently
these are defined as follows:

   0 / 12: launch clock starts
   3 / 12: appliance created
   6 / 12: detected that guest kernel started
   9 / 12: detected that /init script is running
  12 / 12: launch completed successfully

注:

=over 4

=item 1.

This is not a documented ABI and the behaviour may be changed or removed in
future.

=item 2.

Messages are only sent if more than 5 seconds has elapsed since the launch
clock started.

=item 3.

There is a hack in F<lib/proto.c> to make this work.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_timeval_diff>

 int64_t
 guestfs_int_timeval_diff (const struct timeval *x, const struct timeval *y)

Compute C<y - x> and return the result in milliseconds.

Approximately the same as this code:
L<http://www.mpp.mpg.de/~huber/util/timevaldiff.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_unblock_sigterm>

 void
 guestfs_int_unblock_sigterm (void)

Unblock the C<SIGTERM> signal.  Call this after L<fork(2)> so that the
parent process can send C<SIGTERM> to the child process in case C<SIGTERM>
is blocked.  See L<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1460338>.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_impl_max_disks>

 int
 guestfs_impl_max_disks (guestfs_h *g)

Returns the maximum number of disks allowed to be added to the backend
(backend dependent).

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_impl_wait_ready>

 int
 guestfs_impl_wait_ready (guestfs_h *g)

Implementation of L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_wait_ready>.  You had to call this
function after launch in versions E<le> 1.0.70, but it is now an (almost)
no-op.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_create_socketname>

 int
 guestfs_int_create_socketname (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename,
                                char (*sockpath)[UNIX_PATH_MAX])

Create the path for a socket with the selected filename in the tmpdir.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_register_backend>

 void
 guestfs_int_register_backend (const char *name, const struct backend_ops *ops)

When the library is loaded, each backend calls this function to register
itself in a global list.

=head4 Function C<lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_set_backend>

 int
 guestfs_int_set_backend (guestfs_h *g, const char *method)

Implementation of L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_set_backend>.

=over 4

=item *

Callers must ensure this is only called in the config state.

=item *

This shouldn't call C<error> since it may be called early in handle
initialization.  It can return an error code however.

=back

=head3 File F<lib/private-data.c>

Implement a private data area where libguestfs C API users can attach
arbitrary pieces of data to a C<guestfs_h> handle.

For more information see L<guestfs(3)/PRIVATE DATA AREA>.

Language bindings do not generally expose this, largely because in non-C
languages it is easy to associate data with handles in other ways (using
hash tables or maps).

=head4 Structure C<lib/private-data.c:pda_entry>

 struct pda_entry {
   char *key;                    /* key */
   void *data;                   /* opaque user data pointer */
 };

The private data area is internally stored as a gnulib hash table containing
C<pda_entry> structures.

Note the private data area is allocated lazily, since the vast majority of
callers will never use it.  This means C<g-E<gt>pda> is likely to be
C<NULL>.

=head3 File F<lib/proto.c>

This is the code used to send and receive RPC messages and (for certain
types of message) to perform file transfers.  This code is driven from the
generated actions (F<lib/actions-*.c>).  There are five different cases to
consider:

=over 4

=item 1.

A non-daemon function (eg. L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_set_verbose>).  There is no
RPC involved at all, it's all handled inside the library.

=item 2.

A simple RPC (eg. L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_mount>).  We write the request, then
read the reply.  The sequence of calls is:

  guestfs_int_send
  guestfs_int_recv

=item 3.

An RPC with C<FileIn> parameters (eg. L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_upload>).  We
write the request, then write the file(s), then read the reply.  The
sequence of calls is:

  guestfs_int_send
  guestfs_int_send_file  (possibly multiple times)
  guestfs_int_recv

=item 4.

An RPC with C<FileOut> parameters (eg. L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_download>).  We
write the request, then read the reply, then read the file(s).  The sequence
of calls is:

  guestfs_int_send
  guestfs_int_recv
  guestfs_int_recv_file  (possibly multiple times)

=item 5.

Both C<FileIn> and C<FileOut> parameters.  There are no calls like this in
the current API, but they would be implemented as a combination of cases 3
and 4.

=back

All read/write/etc operations are performed using the current connection
module (C<g-E<gt>conn>).  During operations the connection module
transparently handles log messages that appear on the console.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:child_cleanup>

 static void
 child_cleanup (guestfs_h *g)

This is called if we detect EOF, ie. qemu died.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_progress_message_callback>

 void
 guestfs_int_progress_message_callback (guestfs_h *g,
 				       const guestfs_progress *message)

Convenient wrapper to generate a progress message callback.

 guestfs_int_log_message_callback (guestfs_h *g, const char *buf, size_t len)

Connection modules call us back here when they get a log message.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:check_daemon_socket>

 static ssize_t
 check_daemon_socket (guestfs_h *g)

Before writing to the daemon socket, check the read side of the daemon
socket for any of these conditions:

=over 4

=item error

return -1

=item daemon cancellation message

return -2

=item progress message

handle it here

=item end of input or appliance exited unexpectedly

return 0

=item anything else

return 1

=back

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_send_file>

 int
 guestfs_int_send_file (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename)

Send a file.

Returns C<0> on success, C<-1> for error, C<-2> if the daemon cancelled (we
must read the error message).

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:send_file_data>

 static int
 send_file_data (guestfs_h *g, const char *buf, size_t len)

Send a chunk of file data.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:send_file_cancellation>

Send a cancellation message.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:send_file_complete>

 static int
 send_file_complete (guestfs_h *g)

Send a file complete chunk.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:recv_from_daemon>

 static int
 recv_from_daemon (guestfs_h *g, uint32_t *size_rtn, void **buf_rtn)

This function reads a single message, file chunk, launch flag or
cancellation flag from the daemon.  If something was read, it returns C<0>,
otherwise C<-1>.

Both C<size_rtn> and C<buf_rtn> must be passed by the caller as non-NULL.

C<*size_rtn> returns the size of the returned message or it may be
C<GUESTFS_LAUNCH_FLAG> or C<GUESTFS_CANCEL_FLAG>.

C<*buf_rtn> is returned containing the message (if any) or will be set to
C<NULL>.  C<*buf_rtn> must be freed by the caller.

This checks for EOF (appliance died) and passes that up through the
child_cleanup function above.

Log message, progress messages are handled transparently here.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_recv>

 int
 guestfs_int_recv (guestfs_h *g, const char *fn,
 		  guestfs_message_header *hdr,

Receive a reply.

=head4 Function C<lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_recv_discard>

 int
 guestfs_int_recv_discard (guestfs_h *g, const char *fn)

Same as C<guestfs_int_recv>, but it discards the reply message.

Notes (XXX):

=over 4

=item *

This returns an int, but all current callers ignore it.

=item *

The error string may end up being set twice on error paths.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_test_qemu>

 struct qemu_data *
 guestfs_int_test_qemu (guestfs_h *g)

Test that the qemu binary (or wrapper) runs, and do C<qemu -help> and other
commands so we can find out the version of qemu and what options this qemu
supports.

This caches the results in the cachedir so that as long as the qemu binary
does not change, calling this is effectively free.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:cache_filename>

 static char *
 cache_filename (guestfs_h *g, const char *cachedir,
                 const struct stat *statbuf, const char *suffix)

Generate the filenames, for the stat file and the other cache files.

By including the size and mtime in the filename we also ensure that the same
user can use multiple versions of qemu without conflicts.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:parse_qemu_version>

 static void
 parse_qemu_version (guestfs_h *g, const char *qemu_help,
                     struct version *qemu_version)

Parse the first line of C<qemu_help> into the major and minor version of
qemu, but don't fail if parsing is not possible.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:parse_json>

 static void
 parse_json (guestfs_h *g, const char *json, json_t **treep)

Parse the json output from QMP.  But don't fail if parsing is not possible.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:parse_has_kvm>

 static void
 parse_has_kvm (guestfs_h *g, const char *json, bool *ret)

Parse the json output from QMP query-kvm to find out if KVM is enabled on
this machine.  Don't fail if parsing is not possible, assume KVM is
available.

The JSON output looks like: {"return": {"enabled": true, "present": true}}

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:generic_read_cache>

 static int
 generic_read_cache (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename, char **strp)

 int
 guestfs_int_qemu_supports (guestfs_h *g, const struct qemu_data *data,
                            const char *option)

Test if option is supported by qemu command line (just by grepping the help
text).

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_supports_device>

 int
 guestfs_int_qemu_supports_device (guestfs_h *g,
                                   const struct qemu_data *data,
                                   const char *device_name)

Test if device is supported by qemu (currently just greps the C<qemu -device
?> output).

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_mandatory_locking>

 int
 guestfs_int_qemu_mandatory_locking (guestfs_h *g,
                                     const struct qemu_data *data)

(but sometimes disabled).

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_escape_param>

 char *
 guestfs_int_qemu_escape_param (guestfs_h *g, const char *param)

Escape a qemu parameter.

Every C<,> becomes C<,,>.  The caller must free the returned string.

XXX This functionality is now only used when constructing a qemu-img command
in F<lib/create.c>.  We should extend the qemuopts library to cover this use
case.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_drive_source_qemu_param>

 char *
 guestfs_int_drive_source_qemu_param (guestfs_h *g,
                                      const struct drive_source *src)

Useful function to format a drive + protocol for qemu.

Note that the qemu parameter is the bit after C<"file=">.  It is not escaped
here, but would usually be escaped if passed to qemu as part of a full
-drive parameter (but not for L<qemu-img(1)>).

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_discard_possible>

 bool
 guestfs_int_discard_possible (guestfs_h *g, struct drive *drv,
 			      const struct version *qemu_version)

Test if discard is both supported by qemu AND possible with the underlying
file or device.  This returns C<1> if discard is possible.  It returns C<0>
if not possible and sets the error to the reason why.

This function is called when the user set C<discard == "enable">.

=head4 Function C<lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_free_qemu_data>

 void
 guestfs_int_free_qemu_data (struct qemu_data *data)

Free the C<struct qemu_data>.

=head3 File F<lib/rescue.c>

Support for virt-rescue(1).

=head3 File F<lib/stringsbuf.c>

An expandable NULL-terminated vector of strings (like C<argv>).

Use the C<DECLARE_STRINGSBUF> macro to declare the stringsbuf.

Note: Don't confuse this with stringsbuf in the daemon which is a different
type with different methods.

=head4 Function C<lib/stringsbuf.c:guestfs_int_add_string_nodup>

 void
 guestfs_int_add_string_nodup (guestfs_h *g, struct stringsbuf *sb, char *str)

Add a string to the end of the list.

This doesn't call L<strdup(3)> on the string, so the string itself is stored
inside the vector.

=head4 Function C<lib/stringsbuf.c:guestfs_int_add_string>

 void
 guestfs_int_add_string (guestfs_h *g, struct stringsbuf *sb, const char *str)

Add a string to the end of the list.

Uses an sprintf-like format string when creating the string.

=head4 Function C<lib/stringsbuf.c:guestfs_int_end_stringsbuf>

 void
 guestfs_int_end_stringsbuf (guestfs_h *g, struct stringsbuf *sb)

Finish the string buffer.

This adds the terminating NULL to the end of the vector.

 void
 guestfs_int_free_stringsbuf (struct stringsbuf *sb)

Free the string buffer and the strings.

=head3 File F<lib/tmpdirs.c>

Handle temporary directories.

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:set_abs_path>

 static int
 set_abs_path (guestfs_h *g, const char *ctxstr,
               const char *tmpdir, char **tmpdir_ret)

We need to make all tmpdir paths absolute because lots of places in the code
assume this.  Do it at the time we set the path or read the environment
variable (L<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/882417>).

The C<ctxstr> parameter is a string displayed in error messages giving the
context of the operation (eg. name of environment variable being used, or
API function being called).

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_impl_get_tmpdir>

 char *
 guestfs_impl_get_tmpdir (guestfs_h *g)

Implements the C<guestfs_get_tmpdir> API.

Note this actually calculates the tmpdir, so it never returns C<NULL>.

 char *
 guestfs_impl_get_cachedir (guestfs_h *g)

Implements the C<guestfs_get_cachedir> API.

 char *
 guestfs_impl_get_sockdir (guestfs_h *g)

Implements the C<guestfs_get_sockdir> API.

Note this actually calculates the sockdir, so it never returns C<NULL>.

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_int_lazy_make_tmpdir>

 int
 guestfs_int_lazy_make_tmpdir (guestfs_h *g)

The C<g-E<gt>tmpdir> (per-handle temporary directory) is not created when
the handle is created.  Instead we create it lazily before the first time it
is used, or during launch.

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_int_make_temp_path>

 char *
 guestfs_int_make_temp_path (guestfs_h *g,
                             const char *name, const char *extension)

Generate unique temporary paths for temporary files.

Returns a unique path or NULL on error.

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_int_lazy_make_supermin_appliance_dir>

 char *
 guestfs_int_lazy_make_supermin_appliance_dir (guestfs_h *g)

Create the supermin appliance directory under cachedir, if it does not
exist.

Sanity-check that the permissions on the cachedir are safe, in case it has
been pre-created maliciously or tampered with.

Returns the directory name which the caller must free.

=head4 Function C<lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_int_recursive_remove_dir>

 void
 guestfs_int_recursive_remove_dir (guestfs_h *g, const char *dir)

Recursively remove a temporary directory.  If removal fails, just return
(it's a temporary directory so it'll eventually be cleaned up by a temp
cleaner).

This is implemented using C<rm -rf> because that's simpler and safer.

=head3 File F<lib/umask.c>

Return current umask in a thread-safe way.

glibc documents, but does not actually implement, a "getumask(3)" call.

We use C<Umask> from F</proc/self/status> for Linux E<ge> 4.7.  For older
Linux and other Unix, this file implements an expensive but thread-safe way
to get the current process's umask.

Thanks to: Josh Stone, Jiri Jaburek, Eric Blake.

=head4 Function C<lib/umask.c:guestfs_int_getumask>

 int
 guestfs_int_getumask (guestfs_h *g)

Returns the current process's umask.  On failure, returns C<-1> and sets the
error in the guestfs handle.

=head4 Function C<lib/umask.c:get_umask_from_proc>

 static int
 get_umask_from_proc (guestfs_h *g)

For Linux E<ge> 4.7 get the umask from F</proc/self/status>.

On failure this returns C<-1>.  However if we could not open the F</proc>
file or find the C<Umask> entry in it, return C<-2> which causes the
fallback path to run.

=head4 Function C<lib/umask.c:get_umask_from_fork>

 static int
 get_umask_from_fork (guestfs_h *g)

Fallback method of getting the umask using fork.

=head3 File F<lib/unit-tests.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/unit-tests.c:test_command>

 static void
 test_command (void)

Test C<guestfs_int_new_command> etc.

=head4 Function C<lib/unit-tests.c:test_qemu_escape_param>

 static void
 test_qemu_escape_param (void)

Test C<guestfs_int_qemu_escape_param>

to be escaped, but I cannot think of a way to do that without launching a
VM.

=head4 Function C<lib/unit-tests.c:test_timeval_diff>

 static void
 test_timeval_diff (void)

Test C<guestfs_int_timeval_diff>.

=head4 Function C<lib/version.c:guestfs_int_version_from_x_y>

 int
 guestfs_int_version_from_x_y (guestfs_h *g, struct version *v, const char *str)

Parses a version from a string, looking for a C<X.Y> pattern.

Returns C<-1> on failure (like failed integer parsing), C<0> on missing
match, and C<1> on match and successful parsing.  C<v> is changed only on
successful match.

=head4 Function C<lib/version.c:guestfs_int_version_from_x_y_re>

 int
 guestfs_int_version_from_x_y_re (guestfs_h *g, struct version *v,
                                  const char *str, const pcre *re)

Parses a version from a string, using the specified C<re> as regular
expression which I<must> provide (at least) two matches.

Returns C<-1> on failure (like failed integer parsing), C<0> on missing
match, and C<1> on match and successful parsing.  C<v> is changed only on
successful match.

=head4 Function C<lib/version.c:guestfs_int_version_from_x_y_or_x>

 int
 guestfs_int_version_from_x_y_or_x (guestfs_h *g, struct version *v,
                                    const char *str)

Parses a version from a string, either looking for a C<X.Y> pattern or
considering it as whole integer.

Returns C<-1> on failure (like failed integer parsing), C<0> on missing
match, and C<1> on match and successful parsing.  C<v> is changed only on
successful match.

=head4 Function C<lib/version.c:guestfs_int_parse_unsigned_int>

 int
 guestfs_int_parse_unsigned_int (guestfs_h *g, const char *str)

Parse small, unsigned ints, as used in version numbers.

This will fail with an error if trailing characters are found after the
integer.

Returns E<ge> C<0> on success, or C<-1> on failure.

=head3 File F<lib/wait.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/wait.c:guestfs_int_waitpid>

 int
 guestfs_int_waitpid (guestfs_h *g, pid_t pid, int *status, const char *errmsg)

A safe version of L<waitpid(3)> which retries if C<EINTR> is returned.

I<Note:> this only needs to be used in the library, or in programs that
install a non-restartable C<SIGCHLD> handler (which is not the case for any
current libguestfs virt tools).

If the main program installs a SIGCHLD handler and sets it to be
non-restartable, then what can happen is the library is waiting in a wait
syscall, the child exits, C<SIGCHLD> is sent to the process, and the wait
syscall returns C<EINTR>.  Since the library cannot control the signal
handler, we have to instead restart the wait syscall, which is the purpose
of this wrapper.

=head4 Function C<lib/wait.c:guestfs_int_waitpid_noerror>

 void
 guestfs_int_waitpid_noerror (pid_t pid)

Like C<guestfs_int_waitpid>, but ignore errors.

=head4 Function C<lib/wait.c:guestfs_int_wait4>

 int
 guestfs_int_wait4 (guestfs_h *g, pid_t pid, int *status,
                    struct rusage *rusage, const char *errmsg)

A safe version of L<wait4(2)> which retries if C<EINTR> is returned.

=head3 File F<lib/whole-file.c>

=head4 Function C<lib/whole-file.c:guestfs_int_read_whole_file>

 int
 guestfs_int_read_whole_file (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename,
                              char **data_r, size_t *size_r)

Read the whole file C<filename> into a memory buffer.

The memory buffer is initialized and returned in C<data_r>.  The size of the
file in bytes is returned in C<size_r>.  The return buffer must be freed by
the caller.

On error this sets the error in the handle and returns C<-1>.

For the convenience of callers, the returned buffer is NUL-terminated (the
NUL is not included in the size).

The file must be a B<regular>, B<local>, B<trusted> file.  In particular, do
not use this function to read files that might be under control of an
untrusted user since that will lead to a denial-of-service attack.

=head2 Subdirectory F<builder>

=head3 File F<builder/index-parser-c.c>

This file handles the interface between the C/lex/yacc index file parser,
and the OCaml world.  See F<builder/index_parser.ml> for the OCaml type

                   const char *backup_extension, int verbose)

Edit C<filename> using the specified C<editor> application.

If C<backup_extension> is not null, then a copy of C<filename> is saved with
C<backup_extension> appended to its file name.

If C<editor> is null, then the C<$EDITOR> environment variable will be
queried for the editor application, leaving C<vi> as fallback if not set.

Returns C<-1> for failure, C<0> on success, C<1> if the editor did not
change the file (e.g. the user closed the editor without saving).

=head4 Function C<common/edit/file-edit.c:edit_file_perl>

decrypt them, then rescan for VGs.

=head3 File F<common/options/display-options.c>

This file contains common code used to implement I<--short-options> and
I<--long-options> in C virt tools.  (The equivalent for OCaml virt tools is

Returns the number of drives added (S<C<E<gt> 0>>), or C<-1> for failure.

=head3 File F<common/options/inspect.c>

This file implements inspecting the guest and mounting the filesystems found
in the right places.  It is used by the L<guestfish(1)> I<-i> option and
some utilities such as L<virt-cat(1)>.

=head4 Function C<common/options/inspect.c:inspect_mount_handle>

 void
 inspect_mount_handle (guestfs_h *g, struct key_store *ks)

This function implements the I<-i> option.

=head4 Function C<common/options/inspect.c:print_inspect_prompt>

on the code in cryptsetup file F<lib/utils.c>.

=head3 File F<common/options/options.c>

This file contains common options parsing code used by guestfish and many
other tools which share a common options syntax.

For example, guestfish, virt-cat, virt-ls etc all support the I<-a> option,
and that is handled in all of those tools using a macro C<OPTION_a> defined
in F<fish/options.h>.

There are a lot of common global variables used, C<drvs> accumulates the
list of drives, C<verbose> for the I<-v> flag, and many more.

=head4 Function C<common/options/options.c:option_a>

 void
 option_a (const char *arg, const char *format, int blocksize,
           struct drv **drvsp)

Handle the guestfish I<-a> option on the command line.

=head4 Function C<common/options/options.c:option_d>

 void
 option_d (const char *arg, struct drv **drvsp)

Handle the I<-d> option when passed on the command line.

=head4 Function C<common/options/options.c:display_mountpoints_on_failure>

 static void
 display_mountpoints_on_failure (const char *mp_device,
                                 const char *user_supplied_options)

If the I<-m> option fails on any command, display a useful error message
listing the mountpoints.

=head3 File F<common/options/uri.c>

This file implements URI parsing for the I<-a> option, in many utilities
including L<guestfish(1)>, L<virt-cat(1)>, L<virt-builder(1)>,
L<virt-customize(1)>, etc.

=head2 Subdirectory F<common/parallel>

=head3 File F<common/parallel/domains.c>

This file is used by C<virt-df> and some of the other tools when they are
implicitly asked to operate over all libvirt domains (VMs), for example when
C<virt-df> is called without specifying any particular disk image.

It hides the complexity of querying the list of domains from libvirt.

=head4 Function C<common/parallel/domains.c:free_domains>

 void
 free_domains (void)

Frees up everything allocated by C<get_all_libvirt_domains>.

=head4 Function C<common/parallel/domains.c:get_all_libvirt_domains>

 void
 get_all_libvirt_domains (const char *libvirt_uri)

Read all libguest guests into the global variables C<domains> and
C<nr_domains>.  The guests are ordered by name.  This exits on any error.

=head3 File F<common/parallel/estimate-max-threads.c>

=head4 Function C<common/parallel/estimate-max-threads.c:estimate_max_threads>

 size_t
 estimate_max_threads (void)

This function uses the output of C<free -m> to estimate how many libguestfs
appliances could be safely started in parallel.  Note that it always returns
E<ge> 1.

=head4 Function C<common/parallel/estimate-max-threads.c:read_line_from>

 static char *
 read_line_from (const char *cmd)

Run external command and read the first line of output.

=head3 File F<common/parallel/parallel.c>

This file is used by C<virt-df> and some of the other tools when they need
to run multiple parallel libguestfs instances to operate on a large number
of libvirt domains efficiently.

It implements a multithreaded work queue.  In addition it reorders the
output so the output still appears in the same order as the input (ie. still
ordered alphabetically).

=head4 Function C<common/parallel/parallel.c:start_threads>

 int
 start_threads (size_t option_P, guestfs_h *options_handle, work_fn work)

Run the threads and work through the global list of libvirt domains.

C<option_P> is whatever the user passed in the I<-P> option, or C<0> if the
user didn't use the I<-P> option (in which case the number of threads is
chosen heuristically).

C<options_handle> (which may be C<NULL>) is the global guestfs handle
created by the options mini-library.

The work function (C<work>) should do the work (inspecting the domain, etc.)
on domain index C<i>.  However it I<must not> print out any result
directly.  Instead it prints anything it needs to the supplied C<FILE *>.
The work function should return C<0> on success or C<-1> on error.

The C<start_threads> function returns C<0> if all work items completed
successfully, or C<-1> if there was an error.

=head2 Subdirectory F<common/progress>

=head3 File F<common/progress/progress.c>

This file implements the progress bar in L<guestfish(1)>, L<virt-resize(1)>
and L<virt-sparsify(1)>.

=head4 Function C<common/progress/progress.c:progress_bar_init>

 struct progress_bar *
 progress_bar_init (unsigned flags)

Initialize a progress bar struct.

It is intended that you can reuse the same struct for multiple commands (but
only in a single thread).  Call C<progress_bar_reset> before each new
command.

=head4 Function C<common/progress/progress.c:progress_bar_free>

 void
 progress_bar_free (struct progress_bar *bar)

Free a progress bar struct.

=head4 Function C<common/progress/progress.c:progress_bar_reset>

 void
 progress_bar_reset (struct progress_bar *bar)

This function should be called just before you issue any command.

=head4 Function C<common/progress/progress.c:estimate_remaining_time>

 static double
 estimate_remaining_time (struct progress_bar *bar, double ratio)

Return remaining time estimate (in seconds) for current call.

This returns the running mean estimate of remaining time, but if the latest
estimate of total time is greater than two s.d.'s from the running mean then
we don't print anything because we're not confident that the estimate is
meaningful.  (Returned value is E<lt>0.0 when nothing should be printed).

=head4 Function C<common/progress/progress.c:progress_bar_set>

 void
 progress_bar_set (struct progress_bar *bar,
                   uint64_t position, uint64_t total)

Set the position of the progress bar.

This should be called from a C<GUESTFS_EVENT_PROGRESS> event callback.

=head2 Subdirectory F<common/qemuopts>

=head3 File F<common/qemuopts/qemuopts-tests.c>

Unit tests of internal functions.

These tests may use a libguestfs handle, but must not launch the handle.
Also, avoid long-running tests.

=head3 File F<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c>

Mini-library for writing qemu command lines and qemu config files.

There are some shortcomings with the model used for qemu options which
aren't clear until you try to convert options into a configuration file.
However if we attempted to model the options in more detail then this
library would be both very difficult to use and incompatible with older
versions of qemu.  Hopefully the current model is a decent compromise.

For reference here are the problems:

=over 4

=item *

There's inconsistency in qemu between options and config file, eg.  C<-smp
4> becomes:

 [smp-opts]
   cpus = "4"

=item *

Similar to the previous point, you can write either C<-smp 4> or C<-smp
cpus=4> (although this won't work in very old qemu).  When generating a
config file you need to know the implicit key name.

=item *

In C<-opt key=value,...> the C<key> is really a tree/array specifier.  The
way this works is complicated but hinted at here:
L<http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=util/keyval.c;h=93d5db6b590427e412dfb172f1c406d6dd8958c1;hb=HEAD>

=item *

Some options are syntactic sugar.  eg. C<-kernel foo> is sugar for
C<-machine kernel=foo>.

=back

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_create>

 struct qemuopts *
 qemuopts_create (void)

Create an empty list of qemu options.

The caller must eventually free the list by calling C<qemuopts_free>.

Returns C<NULL> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_free>

 void
 qemuopts_free (struct qemuopts *qopts)

Free the list of qemu options.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_add_flag>

 int
 qemuopts_add_flag (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag)

Add a command line flag which has no argument. eg:

 qemuopts_add_flag (qopts, "-no-user-config");

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_add_arg>

 int
 qemuopts_add_arg (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag, const char *value)

Add a command line flag which has a single argument. eg:

 qemuopts_add_arg (qopts, "-m", "1024");

Don't use this if the argument is a comma-separated list, since quoting will
not be done properly.  See C<qemuopts_add_arg_list>.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_add_arg_format>

 int
 qemuopts_add_arg_format (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag,
                          const char *fs, ...)

Add a command line flag which has a single formatted argument. eg:

 qemuopts_add_arg_format (qopts, "-m", "%d", 1024);

Don't use this if the argument is a comma-separated list, since quoting will
not be done properly.  See C<qemuopts_add_arg_list>.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_add_arg_noquote>

 int
 qemuopts_add_arg_noquote (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag,
                           const char *value)

This is like C<qemuopts_add_arg> except that no quoting is done on the
value.

For C<qemuopts_to_script> and C<qemuopts_to_channel>, this means that
neither shell quoting nor qemu comma quoting is done on the value.

For C<qemuopts_to_argv> this means that qemu comma quoting is not done.

C<qemuopts_to_config*> will fail.

You should use this with great care.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_start_arg_list>

 int
 qemuopts_start_arg_list (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag)

Start an argument that takes a comma-separated list of fields.

Typical usage is like this (with error handling omitted):

 qemuopts_start_arg_list (qopts, "-drive");
 qemuopts_append_arg_list (qopts, "file=foo");
 qemuopts_append_arg_list_format (qopts, "if=%s", "ide");
 qemuopts_end_arg_list (qopts);

which would construct C<-drive file=foo,if=ide>

See also C<qemuopts_add_arg_list> for a way to do simple cases in one call.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_add_arg_list>

 int
 qemuopts_add_arg_list (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *flag,
                        const char *elem0, ...)

Add a command line flag which has a list of arguments. eg:

 qemuopts_add_arg_list (qopts, "-drive", "file=foo", "if=ide", NULL);

This is turned into a comma-separated list, like: C<-drive
file=foo,if=ide>.  Note that this handles qemu quoting properly, so
individual elements may contain commas and this will do the right thing.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_set_binary>

 int
 qemuopts_set_binary (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *binary)

Set the qemu binary name.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_set_binary_by_arch>

 int
 qemuopts_set_binary_by_arch (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *arch)

Set the qemu binary name to C<qemu-system-[arch]>.

As a special case if C<arch> is C<NULL>, the binary is set to the KVM binary
for the current host architecture:

 qemuopts_set_binary_by_arch (qopts, NULL);

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_to_script>

 int
 qemuopts_to_script (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *filename)

Write the qemu options to a script.

C<qemuopts_set_binary*> must be called first.

The script file will start with C<#!/bin/sh> and will be chmod to mode
C<0755>.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:shell_quote>

 static void
 shell_quote (const char *str, FILE *fp)

Print C<str> to C<fp>, shell-quoting it if necessary.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:shell_and_comma_quote>

 static void
 shell_and_comma_quote (const char *str, FILE *fp)

Print C<str> to C<fp> doing both shell and qemu comma quoting.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_to_channel>

 int
 qemuopts_to_channel (struct qemuopts *qopts, FILE *fp)

Write the qemu options to a C<FILE *fp>.

C<qemuopts_set_binary*> must be called first.

Only the qemu command line is written.  The caller may need to add
C<#!/bin/sh> and may need to chmod the resulting file to C<0755>.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_to_argv>

 char **
 qemuopts_to_argv (struct qemuopts *qopts)

Return a NULL-terminated argument list, of the kind that can be passed
directly to L<execv(3)>.

C<qemuopts_set_binary*> must be called first.  It will be returned as
C<argv[0]> in the returned list.

The list of strings and the strings themselves must be freed by the caller.

Returns C<NULL> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_to_config_file>

 int
 qemuopts_to_config_file (struct qemuopts *qopts, const char *filename)

Write the qemu options to a qemu config file, suitable for reading in using
C<qemu -readconfig filename>.

Note that qemu config files have limitations on content and quoting, so not
all qemuopts structs can be written (this function returns an error in these
cases).  For more information see
L<https://habkost.net/posts/2016/12/qemu-apis-qemuopts.html>
L<https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1686364>

Also, command line argument names and config file sections sometimes have
different names.  For example the equivalent of C<-m 1024> is:

 [memory]
   size = "1024"

This code does I<not> attempt to convert between the two forms.  You just
need to know how to do that yourself.

Returns C<0> on success.  Returns C<-1> on error, setting C<errno>.

=head4 Function C<common/qemuopts/qemuopts.c:qemuopts_to_config_channel>

 int
 qemuopts_to_config_channel (struct qemuopts *qopts, FILE *fp)

Same as C<qemuopts_to_config_file>, but this writes to a C<FILE *fp>.

=head3 File F<common/utils/cleanups.c>

Libguestfs uses C<CLEANUP_*> macros to simplify temporary allocations.  They
are implemented using the C<__attribute__((cleanup))> feature of gcc and
clang.  Typical usage is:

 fn ()
 {
   CLEANUP_FREE char *str = NULL;
   str = safe_asprintf (g, "foo");
   // str is freed automatically when the function returns
 }

There are a few catches to be aware of with the cleanup mechanism:

=over 4

=item *

If a cleanup variable is not initialized, then you can end up calling
L<free(3)> with an undefined value, resulting in the program crashing.  For
this reason, you should usually initialize every cleanup variable with
something, eg. C<NULL>

=item *

Don't mark variables holding return values as cleanup variables.

=item *

The C<main()> function shouldn't use cleanup variables since it is normally
exited by calling L<exit(3)>, and that doesn't call the cleanup handlers.

=back

The functions in this file are used internally by the C<CLEANUP_*> macros.
Don't call them directly.

The daemon does B<not> use this header.  If you need a place to put
something shared with absolutely everything including the daemon, put it in

The C<xmlTextWriterPtr> is called C<xo>.  It is used implicitly by all the
macros.

=item *

On failure, a function called C<xml_error> is called which you must define
(usually as a macro).  You must use C<CLEANUP_*> macros in your functions if
you want correct cleanup of local variables along the error path.

Check a string for validity, that it contains only certain characters, and
minimum and maximum length.  This function is usually wrapped in a VALID_*
macro, see F<lib/drives.c> for an example.

C<str> is the string to check.

C<min_length> and C<max_length> are the minimum and maximum length checks.
C<0> means no check.

 void
 guestfs_int_fadvise_dontneed (int fd)

Hint that we will not access the data in the near future.

On Linux, this immediately writes out any dirty pages in the page cache and
then invalidates (drops) all pages associated with this file from the page
cache.  Apparently it does this even if the file is opened or being used by
other processes.  This setting is not persistent; if you subsequently read
the file it will be cached in the page cache as normal.

It's OK to call this on a non-file since we ignore failure as it is only a

=head4 Function C<common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_shell_unquote>

 char *
 guestfs_int_shell_unquote (const char *str)

Unquote a shell-quoted string.

Augeas passes strings to us which may be quoted, eg. if they come from files
in F</etc/sysconfig>.  This function can do simple unquoting of these
strings.

Note this function does not do variable substitution, since that is
impossible without knowing the file context and indeed the environment under
which the shell script is run.  Configuration files should not use complex
quoting.

C<str> is the input string from Augeas, a string that may be single- or
double-quoted or may not be quoted.  The returned string is unquoted, and
must be freed by the caller.  C<NULL> is returned on error and C<errno> is
set accordingly.

For information on double-quoting in bash, see
L<https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Double-Quotes.html>

 guestfs_int_full_path (const char *dir, const char *name)

Concatenate C<dir> and C<name> to create a path.  This correctly handles the
case of concatenating C<"/" + "filename"> as well as C<"/dir" +
"filename">.  C<name> may be C<NULL>.

The caller must free the returned path.

Hexdump a block of memory to C<FILE *>, used for debugging.

=head2 Subdirectory F<common/visit>

=head3 File F<common/visit/visit.c>

This file contains a recursive function for visiting all files and
directories in a guestfs filesystem.

Adapted from
L<https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/12/15/tip-audit-virtual-machine-for-setuid-files/>

=head4 Function C<common/visit/visit.c:visit>

 int
 visit (guestfs_h *g, const char *dir, visitor_function f, void *opaque)

Visit every file and directory in a guestfs filesystem, starting at C<dir>.

C<dir> may be C<"/"> to visit the entire filesystem, or may be some
subdirectory.  Symbolic links are not followed.

The visitor function C<f> is called once for every directory and every
file.  The parameters passed to C<f> include the current directory name, the
current file name (or C<NULL> when we're visiting a directory), the
C<guestfs_statns> (file permissions etc), and the list of extended
attributes of the file.  The visitor function may return C<-1> which causes
the whole recursion to stop with an error.

Also passed to this function is an C<opaque> pointer which is passed through
to the visitor function.

Returns C<0> if everything went OK, or C<-1> if there was an error.  Error
handling is not particularly well defined.  It will either set an error in
the libguestfs handle or print an error on stderr, but there is no way for
the caller to tell the difference.

=head2 Subdirectory F<daemon>

=head3 File F<daemon/command.c>

This file contains a number of useful functions for running external
commands and capturing their output.

=head4 Function C<daemon/command.c:commandf>

 int
 commandf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
           const char *name, ...)

Run a command.  Optionally capture stdout and stderr as strings.

Returns C<0> if the command ran successfully, or C<-1> if there was any
error.

For a description of the C<flags> see C<commandrvf>.

There is also a macro C<command(out,err,name,...)> which calls C<commandf>
with C<flags=0>.

=head4 Function C<daemon/command.c:commandrf>

 int
 commandrf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
            const char *name, ...)

Same as C<command>, but we allow the status code from the subcommand to be
non-zero, and return that status code.

We still return C<-1> if there was some other error.

There is also a macro C<commandr(out,err,name,...)> which calls C<commandrf>
with C<flags=0>.

=head4 Function C<daemon/command.c:commandvf>

 int
 commandvf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
            char const *const *argv)

Same as C<command>, but passing in an argv array.

There is also a macro C<commandv(out,err,argv)> which calls C<commandvf>
with C<flags=0>.

=head4 Function C<daemon/command.c:commandrvf>

 int
 commandrvf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
             char const* const *argv)

This is a more sane version of L<system(3)> for running external commands.
It uses fork/execvp, so we don't need to worry about quoting of parameters,
and it allows us to capture any error messages in a buffer.

If C<stdoutput> is not C<NULL>, then C<*stdoutput> will return the stdout of
the command as a string.

If C<stderror> is not C<NULL>, then C<*stderror> will return the stderr of
the command.  If there is a final \n character, it is removed so you can use
the error string directly in a call to C<reply_with_error>.

Flags are:

=over 4

=item C<COMMAND_FLAG_FOLD_STDOUT_ON_STDERR>

For broken external commands that send error messages to stdout (hello,
parted) but that don't have any useful stdout information, use this flag to
capture the error messages in the C<*stderror> buffer.  If using this flag,
you should pass C<stdoutput=NULL> because nothing could ever be captured in
that buffer.

=item C<COMMAND_FLAG_CHROOT_COPY_FILE_TO_STDIN>

For running external commands on chrooted files correctly (see
L<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/579608>) specifying this flag causes another
process to be forked which chroots into sysroot and just copies the input
file to stdin of the specified command.  The file descriptor is ORed with
the flags, and that file descriptor is always closed by this function.  See
F<daemon/hexdump.c> for an example of usage.

=back

There is also a macro C<commandrv(out,err,argv)> which calls C<commandrvf>
with C<flags=0>.

=head3 File F<daemon/device-name-translation.c>

=head4 Function C<daemon/device-name-translation.c:device_name_translation_init>

 void
 device_name_translation_init (void)

Cache daemon disk mapping.

When the daemon starts up, populate a cache with the contents of
/dev/disk/by-path.  It's easiest to use C<ls -lv> here since the names are
sorted awkwardly.

=head4 Function C<daemon/device-name-translation.c:device_name_translation>

 char *
 device_name_translation (const char *device)

Perform device name translation.

Libguestfs defines a few standard formats for device names.  (see also
L<guestfs(3)/BLOCK DEVICE NAMING> and
L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_canonical_device_name>).  They are:

=over 4

=item F</dev/sdX[N]>

=item F</dev/hdX[N]>

=item F</dev/vdX[N]>

These mean the Nth partition on the Xth device.  Because Linux no longer
enumerates devices in the order they are passed to qemu, we must translate
these by looking up the actual device using /dev/disk/by-path/

=item F</dev/mdX>

=item F</dev/VG/LV>

=item F</dev/mapper/...>

=item F</dev/dm-N>

These are not translated here.

=back

It returns a newly allocated string which the caller must free.

It returns C<NULL> on error.  B<Note> it does I<not> call C<reply_with_*>.

We have to open the device and test for C<ENXIO>, because the device nodes
may exist in the appliance.

=head3 File F<daemon/guestfsd.c>

This is the guestfs daemon which runs inside the guestfs appliance.  This
file handles start up and connecting back to the library.

=head4 Function C<daemon/guestfsd.c:print_shell_quote>

 static int
 print_shell_quote (FILE *stream,
                    const struct printf_info *info ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED,
                    const void *const *args)

printf helper function so we can use C<%Q> ("quoted") and C<%R> to print
shell-quoted strings.  See L<guestfs-hacking(1)> for more details.

=head3 File F<daemon/internal.c>

Internal functions that are not part of the public API.

=head3 File F<daemon/utils-c.c>

Bindings for utility functions.

Note that functions called from OCaml code B<must never> call any of the
C<reply*> functions.

=head3 File F<daemon/utils.c>

Miscellaneous utility functions used by the daemon.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:is_root_device_stat>

 static int
 is_root_device_stat (struct stat *statbuf)

Return true iff device is the root device (and therefore should be ignored
from the point of view of user calls).

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:is_device_parameter>

 int
 is_device_parameter (const char *device)

Parameters marked as C<Device>, C<Dev_or_Path>, etc can be passed a block
device name.  This function tests if the parameter is a block device name.

It can also be used in daemon code to test if the string passed as a
C<Dev_or_Path> parameter is a device or path.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:sysroot_path>

 char *
 sysroot_path (const char *path)

Turn C<"/path"> into C<"/sysroot/path">.

Returns C<NULL> on failure.  The caller I<must> check for this and call
S<C<reply_with_perror ("malloc")>>.  The caller must also free the returned
string.

See also the custom C<%R> printf formatter which does shell quoting too.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:sysroot_realpath>

 char *
 sysroot_realpath (const char *path)

Resolve path within sysroot, calling C<sysroot_path> on the resolved path.

Returns C<NULL> on failure.  The caller I<must> check for this and call
S<C<reply_with_perror ("malloc")>>.  The caller must also free the returned
string.

See also the custom C<%R> printf formatter which does shell quoting too.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:is_power_of_2>

 int
 is_power_of_2 (unsigned long v)

Returns true if C<v> is a power of 2.

Uses the algorithm described at
L<http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#DetermineIfPowerOf2>

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:split_lines_sb>

 struct stringsbuf
 split_lines_sb (char *str)

Split an output string into a NULL-terminated list of lines, wrapped into a
stringsbuf.

Typically this is used where we have run an external command which has
printed out a list of things, and we want to return an actual list.

The corner cases here are quite tricky.  Note in particular:

=over 4

=item C<"">

returns C<[]>

=item C<"\n">

returns C<[""]>

=item C<"a\nb">

returns C<["a"; "b"]>

=item C<"a\nb\n">

returns C<["a"; "b"]>

=item C<"a\nb\n\n">

returns C<["a"; "b"; ""]>

=back

The original string is written over and destroyed by this function (which is
usually OK because it's the 'out' string from C<command*()>).  You can free
the original string, because C<add_string()> strdups the strings.

C<argv> in the C<struct stringsbuf> will be C<NULL> in case of errors.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:filter_list>

 char **
 filter_list (bool (*p) (const char *str), char **strs)

Filter a list of strings.  Returns a newly allocated list of only the
strings where C<p (str) == true>.

B<Note> it does not copy the strings, be careful not to double-free them.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:trim>

 void
 trim (char *str)

Skip leading and trailing whitespace, updating the original string in-place.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:parse_btrfsvol>

 int
 parse_btrfsvol (const char *desc_orig, mountable_t *mountable)

Parse the mountable descriptor for a btrfs subvolume.  Don't call this
directly; it is only used from the stubs.

A btrfs subvolume is given as:

 btrfsvol:/dev/sda3/root

where F</dev/sda3> is a block device containing a btrfs filesystem, and root
is the name of a subvolume on it. This function is passed the string
following C<"btrfsvol:">.

On success, C<mountable-E<gt>device> and C<mountable-E<gt>volume> must be
freed by the caller.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:mountable_to_string>

 char *
 mountable_to_string (const mountable_t *mountable)

Convert a C<mountable_t> back to its string representation

This function can be used in an error path, so must not call
C<reply_with_error>.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:prog_exists>

 int
 prog_exists (const char *prog)

Check program exists and is executable on C<$PATH>.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:random_name>

 int
 random_name (char *template)

Pass a template such as C<"/sysroot/XXXXXXXX.XXX">.  This updates the
template to contain a randomly named file.  Any C<'X'> characters after the
final C<'/'> in the template are replaced with random characters.

Notes: You should probably use an 8.3 path, so it's compatible with all
filesystems including basic FAT.  Also this only substitutes lowercase ASCII
letters and numbers, again for compatibility with lowest common denominator
filesystems.

This doesn't create a file or check whether or not the file exists (it would
be extremely unlikely to exist as long as the RNG is working).

If there is an error, C<-1> is returned.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:udev_settle_file>

 void
 udev_settle_file (const char *file)

LVM and other commands aren't synchronous, especially when udev is
involved.  eg. You can create or remove some device, but the C</dev> device
node won't appear until some time later.  This means that you get an error
if you run one command followed by another.

Use C<udevadm settle> after certain commands, but don't be too fussed if it
fails.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:make_exclude_from_file>

 char *
 make_exclude_from_file (const char *function, char *const *excludes)

Turn list C<excludes> into a temporary file, and return a string containing
the temporary file name.  Caller must unlink the file and free the string.

C<function> is the function that invoked this helper, and it is used mainly
for errors/debugging.

=head4 Function C<daemon/utils.c:read_whole_file>

 char *
 read_whole_file (const char *filename, size_t *size_r)

Read whole file into dynamically allocated array.  If there is an error,
DON'T call reply_with_perror, just return NULL.  Returns a C<\0>-terminated
string.  C<size_r> can be specified to get the size of the returned data.

=head3 File F<daemon/xattr.c>

=head4 Function C<daemon/xattr.c:split_attr_names>

 static char **
 split_attr_names (char *buf, size_t len)

L<listxattr(2)> returns the string C<"foo\0bar\0baz"> of length C<len>.
(The last string in the list is \0-terminated but the \0 is not included in
C<len>).

This function splits it into a regular list of strings.

B<Note> that the returned list contains pointers to the original strings in
C<buf> so be careful that you do not double-free them.

=head2 Subdirectory F<fish>

=head3 File F<fish/alloc.c>

This file implements the guestfish C<alloc> and C<sparse> commands.

=head4 Function C<fish/alloc.c:alloc_disk>

 int
 alloc_disk (const char *filename, const char *size_str, int add, int sparse)

This is the underlying allocation function.  It's called from a few other
places in guestfish.

=head3 File F<fish/copy.c>

This file implements the guestfish commands C<copy-in> and C<copy-out>.

=head3 File F<fish/destpaths.c>

The file implements the guestfish C<display> command, for displaying
graphical files (icons, images) in disk images.

=head3 File F<fish/echo.c>

The file implements the guestfish C<echo> command.

=head3 File F<fish/edit.c>

guestfish C<edit> command, suggested by Ján Ondrej.

=head3 File F<fish/events.c>

This file implements the guestfish event-related commands, C<event>,
C<delete-event> and C<list-events>.

=head3 File F<fish/fish.c>

guestfish, the guest filesystem shell.  This file contains the main loop and
utilities.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:parse_command_line>

 static struct parsed_command
 parse_command_line (char *buf, int *exit_on_error_rtn)

Parse a command string, splitting at whitespace, handling C<'!'>, C<'#'>
etc.  This destructively updates C<buf>.

C<exit_on_error_rtn> is used to pass in the global C<exit_on_error> setting
and to return the local setting (eg. if the command begins with C<'-'>).

Returns in C<parsed_command.status>:

=over 4

=item C<1>

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:parse_quoted_string>

 static ssize_t
 parse_quoted_string (char *p)

Parse double-quoted strings, replacing backslash escape sequences with the
true character.  Since the string is returned in place, the escapes must
make the string shorter.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:execute_and_inline>

 static int
 execute_and_inline (const char *cmd, int global_exit_on_error)

Used to handle C<E<lt>!> (execute command and inline result).

 int
 issue_command (const char *cmd, char *argv[], const char *pipecmd,
                int rc_exit_on_error_flag)

Run a command.

C<rc_exit_on_error_flag> is the C<exit_on_error> flag that we pass to the
remote server (when issuing I<--remote> commands).  It does not cause
C<issue_command> itself to exit on error.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:extended_help_message>

 void
 extended_help_message (void)

Print an extended help message when the user types in an unknown command for
the first command issued.  A common case is the user doing:

expecting guestfish to open F<disk.img> (in fact, this tried to run a
non-existent command C<disk.img>).

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:error_cb>

Error callback.  This replaces the standard libguestfs error handler.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:free_n_strings>

 static void
 free_n_strings (char **str, size_t len)

Free strings from a non-NULL terminated C<char**>.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:decode_ps1>

 static char *
 decode_ps1 (const char *str)

Decode C<str> into the final printable prompt string.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:win_prefix>

 char *
 win_prefix (const char *path)

Resolve the special C<win:...> form for Windows-specific paths.  The
generated code calls this for all device or path arguments.

The function returns a newly allocated string, and the caller must free this
string; else display an error and return C<NULL>.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:file_in>

 char *
 file_in (const char *arg)

Resolve the special C<FileIn> paths (C<-> or C<-<<END> or filename).

The caller (F<fish/cmds.c>) will call C<free_file_in> after the command has
run which should clean up resources.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:file_out>

 char *
 file_out (const char *arg)

Resolve the special C<FileOut> paths (C<-> or filename).

The caller (F<fish/cmds.c>) will call S<C<free (str)>> after the command has
run.

=head4 Function C<fish/fish.c:progress_callback>

 void
 progress_callback (guestfs_h *g, void *data,

Callback which displays a progress bar.

=head3 File F<fish/glob.c>

This file implements the guestfish C<glob> command.

=head4 Function C<fish/glob.c:expand_devicename>

 static char **
 expand_devicename (guestfs_h *g, const char *device)

Glob-expand device patterns, such as C</dev/sd*>
(L<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/635971>).

There is no C<guestfs_glob_expand_device> function because the equivalent
can be implemented using functions like C<guestfs_list_devices>.

It's not immediately clear what it means to expand a pattern like
C</dev/sd*>.  Should that include device name translation? Should the result
include partitions as well as devices?

Should C<"/dev/"> + C<"*"> return every possible device and filesystem? How
about VGs? LVs?

To solve this what we do is build up a list of every device, partition,
etc., then glob against that list.

Notes for future work (XXX):

=head4 Function C<fish/help.c:display_help>

 int
 display_help (const char *cmd, size_t argc, char *argv[])

The C<help> command.

This used to just list all commands, but that's not very useful.  Instead
display some useful context-sensitive help.  This could be improved if we
knew how many drives had been added already, and whether anything was
mounted.

=head3 File F<fish/hexedit.c>

This file implements the guestfish C<hexedit> command.
