NAME

       guestfs-hacking - extending and contributing to libguestfs

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page is for hackers who want to extend libguestfs itself.

THE SOURCE CODE

       Libguestfs source is located in the github repository
       https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs

       Large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs (RPC, bindings, documentation) are
       generated.  This means that many source files will appear to be missing from a
       straightforward git checkout.  You have to run the generator ("./autogen.sh && make -C
       generator") in order to create those files.

       Libguestfs uses an autotools-based build system, with the main files being configure.ac
       and Makefile.am.  See "THE BUILD SYSTEM".

       The generator subdirectory contains the generator, plus files describing the API.  The lib
       subdirectory contains source for the library.  The appliance and daemon subdirectories
       contain the source for the code that builds the appliance, and the code that runs in the
       appliance respectively.  Other directories are covered in the section "SOURCE CODE
       SUBDIRECTORIES" below.

       Apart from the fact that all API entry points go via some generated code, the library is
       straightforward.  (In fact, even the generated code is designed to be readable, and should
       be read as ordinary code).  Some actions run entirely in the library, and are written as C
       functions in files under lib.  Others are forwarded to the daemon where (after some
       generated RPC marshalling) they appear as C functions in files under daemon.

       To build from source, first read the guestfs-building(1).

   SOURCE CODE SUBDIRECTORIES
       There are a lot of subdirectories in the source tree!  Which ones should you concentrate
       on first?  lib and daemon which contain the source code of the core library.  generator is
       the code generator described above, so that is important.  The Makefile.am in the root
       directory will tell you in which order the subdirectories get built.  And then if you are
       looking at a particular tool (eg. v2v) or language binding (eg. python), go straight to
       that subdirectory, but remember that if you didn't run the generator yet, then you may
       find files which appear to be missing.

   THE BUILD SYSTEM
       Libguestfs uses the GNU autotools build system (autoconf, automake, libtool).

       The ./configure script is generated from configure.ac and m4/guestfs_*.m4.  Most of the
       configure script is split over many m4 macro files by topic, for example
       m4/guestfs_daemon.m4 deals with the dependencies of the daemon.

       The job of the top level Makefile.am is mainly to list the subdirectories ("SUBDIRS") in
       the order they should be compiled.

       common-rules.mk is included in every Makefile.am (top level and subdirectories).
       subdir-rules.mk is included only in subdirectory Makefile.am files.

       There are many make targets.  Use this command to list them all:

        make help

EXTENDING LIBGUESTFS

   ADDING A NEW API
       Because large amounts of boilerplate code in libguestfs are generated, this makes it easy
       to extend the libguestfs API.

       To add a new API action there are two changes:

       1.  You need to add a description of the call (name, parameters, return type, tests,
           documentation) to generator/actions_*.ml and possibly generator/proc_nr.ml.

           There are two sorts of API action, depending on whether the call goes through to the
           daemon in the appliance, or is serviced entirely by the library (see "ARCHITECTURE" in
           guestfs-internals(1)).  "guestfs_sync" in guestfs(3) is an example of the former,
           since the sync is done in the appliance.  "guestfs_set_trace" in guestfs(3) is an
           example of the latter, since a trace flag is maintained in the handle and all tracing
           is done on the library side.

           Most new actions are of the first type, and get added to the "daemon_functions" list.
           Each function has a unique procedure number used in the RPC protocol which is assigned
           to that action when we publish libguestfs and cannot be reused.  Take the latest
           procedure number and increment it.

           For library-only actions of the second type, add to the "non_daemon_functions" list.
           Since these functions are serviced by the library and do not travel over the RPC
           mechanism to the daemon, these functions do not need a procedure number, and so the
           procedure number is set to "-1".

       2.  Implement the action (in C):

           For daemon actions, implement the function "do_<name>" in the "daemon/" directory.

           For library actions, implement the function "guestfs_impl_<name>" in the "lib/"
           directory.

           In either case, use another function as an example of what to do.

       After making these changes, use "make" to compile.

       Note that you don't need to implement the RPC, language bindings, manual pages or anything
       else.  It's all automatically generated from the OCaml description.

       Adding tests for an API

       You can supply zero or as many tests as you want per API call.  The tests can either be
       added as part of the API description (generator/actions_*.ml), or in some rarer cases you
       may want to drop a script into "tests/*/".  Note that adding a script to "tests/*/" is
       slower, so if possible use the first method.

       The following describes the test environment used when you add an API test in
       actions_*.ml.

       The test environment has 4 block devices:

       /dev/sda 2 GB
           General block device for testing.

       /dev/sdb 2 GB
           /dev/sdb1 is an ext2 filesystem used for testing filesystem write operations.

       /dev/sdc 10 MB
           Used in a few tests where two block devices are needed.

       /dev/sdd
           ISO with fixed content (see images/test.iso).

       To be able to run the tests in a reasonable amount of time, the libguestfs appliance and
       block devices are reused between tests.  So don't try testing "guestfs_kill_subprocess" in
       guestfs(3) :-x

       Each test starts with an initial scenario, selected using one of the "Init*" expressions,
       described in generator/types.ml.  These initialize the disks mentioned above in a
       particular way as documented in types.ml.  You should not assume anything about the
       previous contents of other disks that are not initialized.

       You can add a prerequisite clause to any individual test.  This is a run-time check,
       which, if it fails, causes the test to be skipped.  Useful if testing a command which
       might not work on all variations of libguestfs builds.  A test that has prerequisite of
       "Always" means to run unconditionally.

       In addition, packagers can skip individual tests by setting environment variables before
       running "make check".

        SKIP_TEST_<CMD>_<NUM>=1

       eg: "SKIP_TEST_COMMAND_3=1" skips test #3 of "guestfs_command" in guestfs(3).

       or:

        SKIP_TEST_<CMD>=1

       eg: "SKIP_TEST_ZEROFREE=1" skips all "guestfs_zerofree" in guestfs(3) tests.

       Packagers can run only certain tests by setting for example:

        TEST_ONLY="vfs_type zerofree"

       See tests/c-api/tests.c for more details of how these environment variables work.

       Debugging new APIs

       Test new actions work before submitting them.

       You can use guestfish to try out new commands.

       Debugging the daemon is a problem because it runs inside a minimal environment.  However
       you can fprintf messages in the daemon to stderr, and they will show up if you use
       "guestfish -v".

   ADDING A NEW LANGUAGE BINDING
       All language bindings must be generated by the generator (see the generator subdirectory).

       There is no documentation for this yet.  We suggest you look at an existing binding, eg.
       generator/ocaml.ml or generator/perl.ml.

       Adding tests for language bindings

       Language bindings should come with tests.  Previously testing of language bindings was
       rather ad-hoc, but we have been trying to formalize the set of tests that every language
       binding should use.

       Currently only the OCaml and Perl bindings actually implement the full set of tests, and
       the OCaml bindings are canonical, so you should emulate what the OCaml tests do.

       This is the numbering scheme used by the tests:

        - 000+ basic tests:

          010  load the library
          020  create
          030  create-flags
          040  create multiple handles
          050  test setting and getting config properties
          060  explicit close
          065  implicit close (in GC'd languages)
          070  optargs
          080  version
          090  retvalues

        - 100  launch, create partitions and LVs and filesystems

        - 400+ events:

          410  close event
          420  log messages
          430  progress messages

        - 800+ regression tests (specific to the language)

        - 900+ any other custom tests for the language

       To save time when running the tests, only 100, 430, 800+, 900+ should launch the handle.

   FORMATTING CODE
       Our C source code generally adheres to some basic code-formatting conventions.  The
       existing code base is not totally consistent on this front, but we do prefer that
       contributed code be formatted similarly.  In short, use spaces-not-TABs for indentation,
       use 2 spaces for each indentation level, and other than that, follow the K&R style.

       If you use Emacs, add the following to one of one of your start-up files (e.g., ~/.emacs),
       to help ensure that you get indentation right:

        ;;; In libguestfs, indent with spaces everywhere (not TABs).
        ;;; Exceptions: Makefile and ChangeLog modes.
        (add-hook 'find-file-hook
            '(lambda () (if (and buffer-file-name
                                 (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                                     (buffer-file-name))
                                 (not (string-equal mode-name "Change Log"))
                                 (not (string-equal mode-name "Makefile")))
                            (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))))

        ;;; When editing C sources in libguestfs, use this style.
        (defun libguestfs-c-mode ()
          "C mode with adjusted defaults for use with libguestfs."
          (interactive)
          (c-set-style "K&R")
          (setq c-indent-level 2)
          (setq c-basic-offset 2))
        (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
                  '(lambda () (if (string-match "/libguestfs\\>"
                                      (buffer-file-name))
                                  (libguestfs-c-mode))))

   TESTING YOUR CHANGES
       Turn warnings into errors when developing to make warnings hard to ignore:

        ./configure --enable-werror

       Useful targets are:

       "make check"
           Runs the regular test suite.

           This is implemented using the regular automake "TESTS" target.  See the automake
           documentation for details.

       "make check-valgrind"
           Runs a subset of the test suite under valgrind.

           See "VALGRIND" below.

       "make check-valgrind-local-guests"
           Runs a subset of the test suite under valgrind using locally installed libvirt guests
           (read-only).

       "make check-direct"
           Runs all tests using default appliance back-end.  This only has any effect if a non-
           default backend was selected using "./configure --with-default-backend=..."

       "make check-valgrind-direct"
           Run a subset of the test suite under valgrind using the default appliance back-end.

       "make check-uml"
           Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend.

           As there is no standard location for the User-Mode Linux kernel, you have to set
           "LIBGUESTFS_HV" to point to the kernel image, eg:

            make check-uml LIBGUESTFS_HV=~/d/linux-um/vmlinux

       "make check-valgrind-uml"
           Runs all tests using the User-Mode Linux backend, under valgrind.

           As above, you have to set "LIBGUESTFS_HV" to point to the kernel.

       "make check-with-upstream-qemu"
           Runs all tests using a local qemu binary.  It looks for the qemu binary in QEMUDIR
           (defaults to $HOME/d/qemu), but you can set this to another directory on the command
           line, eg:

            make check-with-upstream-qemu QEMUDIR=/usr/src/qemu

       "make check-with-upstream-libvirt"
           Runs all tests using a local libvirt.  This only has any effect if the libvirt backend
           was selected using "./configure --with-default-backend=libvirt"

           It looks for libvirt in LIBVIRTDIR (defaults to $HOME/d/libvirt), but you can set this
           to another directory on the command line, eg:

            make check-with-upstream-libvirt LIBVIRTDIR=/usr/src/libvirt

       "make check-slow"
           Runs some slow/long-running tests which are not run by default.

           To mark a test as slow/long-running:

           •   Add it to the list of "TESTS" in the Makefile.am, just like a normal test.

           •   Modify the test so it checks if the "SLOW=1" environment variable is set, and if
               not set it skips (ie. returns with exit code 77).  If using $TEST_FUNCTIONS, you
               can call the function "slow_test" for this.

           •   Add a variable "SLOW_TESTS" to the Makefile.am listing the slow tests.

           •   Add a rule to the Makefile.am:

                check-slow:
                  $(MAKE) check TESTS="$(SLOW_TESTS)" SLOW=1

       "sudo make check-root"
           Runs some tests which require root privileges.  These are supposed to be safe, but
           take care.  You have to run this as root (eg. using sudo(8) explicitly).

           To mark a test as requiring root:

           •   Add it to the list of "TESTS" in the Makefile.am, just like a normal test.

           •   Modify the test so it checks if euid == 0, and if not set it skips (ie. returns
               with exit code 77).  If using $TEST_FUNCTIONS, you can call the function
               "root_test" for this.

           •   Add a variable "ROOT_TESTS" to the Makefile.am listing the root tests.

           •   Add a rule to the Makefile.am:

                check-root:
                  $(MAKE) check TESTS="$(ROOT_TESTS)"

       "make check-all"
           Equivalent to running all "make check*" rules except "check-root".

       "make check-release"
           Runs a subset of "make check*" rules that are required to pass before a tarball can be
           released.  Currently this is:

           •   check

           •   check-valgrind

           •   check-direct

           •   check-valgrind-direct

           •   check-slow

       "make installcheck"
           Run "make check" on the installed copy of libguestfs.

           The version of installed libguestfs being tested, and the version of the libguestfs
           source tree must be the same.

           Do:

            ./autogen.sh
            make clean ||:

   VALGRIND
       When you do "make check-valgrind", it searches for any Makefile.am in the tree that has a
       "check-valgrind:" target and runs it.

       Writing the Makefile.am and tests correctly to use valgrind and working with automake
       parallel tests is subtle.

       If your tests are run via a shell script wrapper, then in the wrapper use:

        $VG virt-foo

       and in the Makefile.am use:

        check-valgrind:
            make VG="@VG@" check

       However, if your binaries run directly from the "TESTS" rule, you have to modify the
       Makefile.am like this:

        LOG_COMPILER = $(VG)

        check-valgrind:
            make VG="@VG@" check

       In either case, check that the right program is being tested by examining the
       tmp/valgrind* log files carefully.

   DAEMON CUSTOM PRINTF FORMATTERS
       In the daemon code we have created custom printf formatters %Q and %R, which are used to
       do shell quoting.

       %Q  Simple shell quoted string.  Any spaces or other shell characters are escaped for you.

       %R  Same as %Q except the string is treated as a path which is prefixed by the sysroot.

       For example:

        asprintf (&cmd, "cat %R", path);

       would produce "cat /sysroot/some\ path\ with\ spaces"

       Note: Do not use these when you are passing parameters to the "command{,r,v,rv}()"
       functions.  These parameters do NOT need to be quoted because they are not passed via the
       shell (instead, straight to exec).  You probably want to use the "sysroot_path()" function
       however.

   INTERNATIONALIZATION (I18N) SUPPORT
       We support i18n (gettext anyhow) in the library.

       However many messages come from the daemon, and we don't translate those at the moment.
       One reason is that the appliance generally has all locale files removed from it, because
       they take up a lot of space.  So we'd have to readd some of those, as well as copying our
       PO files into the appliance.

       Debugging messages are never translated, since they are intended for the programmers.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS

   HOW OCAML PROGRAMS ARE COMPILED AND LINKED
       Mostly this section is "how we make automake & ocamlopt work together" since OCaml
       programs themselves are easy to compile.

       Automake has no native support for OCaml programs, ocamlc nor ocamlopt.  What we do
       instead is to treat OCaml programs as C programs which happen to contain these "other
       objects" ("DEPENDENCIES" in automake-speak) that happen to be the OCaml objects.  This
       works because OCaml programs usually have C files for native bindings etc.

       So a typical program is described as just its C sources:

        virt_v2v_SOURCES = ... utils-c.c xml-c.c

       For programs that have no explicit C sources, we create an empty dummy.c file, and list
       that instead:

        virt_resize_SOURCES = dummy.c

       The OCaml objects which contain most of the code are listed as automake dependencies
       (other dependencies may also be listed):

        virt_v2v_DEPENDENCIES = ... cmdline.cmx v2v.cmx

       The only other special thing we need to do is to provide a custom link command.  This is
       needed because automake won't assemble the ocamlopt command, the list of objects and the
       "-cclib" libraries in the correct order otherwise.

        virt_v2v_LINK = \
            $(top_srcdir)/ocaml-link.sh -cclib '-lutils -lgnu' -- ...

       The actual rules, which you can examine in v2v/Makefile.am, are a little bit more
       complicated than this because they have to handle:

       •   Compiling for byte code or native code.

       •   The pattern rules needed to compile the OCaml sources to objects.

           These are now kept in subdir-rules.mk at the top level, which is included in every
           subdirectory Makefile.am.

       •   Adding OCaml sources files to "EXTRA_DIST".

           Automake isn't aware of the complete list of sources for a binary, so it will not add
           them all automatically.

   VIRT-V2V
       First a little history.  Virt-v2v has been through at least two complete rewrites, so this
       is probably about the third version (but we don't intend to rewrite it again).  The
       previous version was written in Perl and can be found here:
       https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/virt-v2v.git

       The current version started out as almost a line-for-line rewrite of the Perl code in
       OCaml + C, and it still has a fairly similar structure.  Therefore if there are details of
       this code that you don't understand (especially in the details of guest conversion),
       checking the Perl code may help.

       The files to start with when reading this code are:

       •   types.mliv2v.ml

       types.mli defines all the structures used and passed around when communicating between
       different bits of the program.  v2v.ml controls how the program runs in stages.

       After studying those files, you may want to branch out into the input modules (input_*),
       the output modules (output_*) or the conversion modules (convert_*).  The input and output
       modules define -i and -o options (see the manual).  The conversion modules define what
       guest types we can handle and the detailed steps involved in converting them.

       Every other file in this directory is a support module / library of some sort.  Some code
       is written in C, especially where we want to use an external C library such as libxml2.

   VIRT-P2V
       Virt-p2v is a front end on virt-v2v.  ie. All it does is act as a GUI front end, and it
       calls out to virt-v2v to perform the actual conversion.  Therefore most of the C code in
       the p2v/ subdirectory is Gtk (GUI) code, or supporting code for talking to the remote
       conversion server.  There is no special support for physical machines in virt-v2v.  They
       are converted in the same way as foreign VMs.

       Running virt-p2v

       You can run the p2v/virt-p2v binary directly, but it will try to convert your machine's
       real /dev/sda which is unlikely to work well.  However virt-p2v also has a test mode in
       which you can supply a test disk:

        make -C p2v run-virt-p2v-directly

       This is a wrapper around the virt-p2v(1) --test-disk option.  You can control the
       "physical machine" disk by setting "PHYSICAL_MACHINE" to point to a disk image.

       A more realistic test is to run virt-p2v inside a VM on the local machine.  To do that,
       do:

        make -C p2v run-virt-p2v-in-a-vm

       This also runs qemu with the "physical machine" disk (which you can set by setting
       "PHYSICAL_MACHINE"), a virtual CD, and a variety of network cards for testing.  You can
       change the qemu binary and add extra qemu options by setting "QEMU" and/or "QEMU_OPTIONS"
       on the make commandline.

       A third way to run virt-p2v simulates fairly accurately the program being downloaded over
       PXE and then doing an automatic conversion of the source physical machine (the non-GUI
       path -- see next section below):

        make -C p2v run-virt-p2v-non-gui-conversion

       Understanding the virt-p2v code

       See also: "HOW VIRT-P2V WORKS" in virt-p2v(1)

       There are two paths through the code, GUI or non-GUI (parsing the kernel command line):

        main.c ──────┬─────▶ gui.c ──────┬─────▶ conversion.c
                     │                   │
                     │                   │
                     └────▶ kernel.c ────┘

       but both paths call back to the conversion.c function "start_conversion" to run the remote
       virt-v2v.

       The main task of gui.c/kernel.c is to populate the virt-v2v configuration (config.c).

       During conversion, we need to establish ssh connections, and that is done using two
       libraries:

        conversion.c ──────▶ ssh.c ──────▶ miniexpect.c

       where ssh.c is responsible for managing ssh connections overall, and miniexpect.c
       implements "expect-like" functionality for talking interactively to the remote virt-v2v
       conversion server.

       (Note that miniexpect is a separate library with its own upstream, so if you patch
       miniexpect.c, then please make sure the changes get reflected in miniexpect's upstream
       too: http://git.annexia.org/?p=miniexpect.git;a=summary)

MAINTAINER TASKS

   MAINTAINER MAKEFILE TARGETS
       These "make" targets probably won't work and aren't useful unless you are a libguestfs
       maintainer.

       make maintainer-commit

       This commits everything in the working directory with the commit message "Version
       $(VERSION).".  You must update configure.ac, clean and rebuild first.

       make maintainer-tag

       This tags the current HEAD commit with the tag "v$(VERSION)" and one of the messages:

        Version $(VERSION) stable

        Version $(VERSION) development

       (See "LIBGUESTFS VERSION NUMBERS" in guestfs(3) for the difference between a stable and
       development release.)

       make maintainer-check-extra-dist

       This rule must be run after "make dist" (so there is a tarball in the working directory).
       It compares the contents of the tarball with the contents of git to ensure that no files
       have been missed from Makefile.am "EXTRA_DIST" rules.

       make maintainer-upload-website

       This is used by the software used to automate libguestfs releases to copy the libguestfs
       website to another git repository before it is uploaded to the web server.

   MAKING A STABLE RELEASE
       When we make a stable release, there are several steps documented here.  See "LIBGUESTFS
       VERSION NUMBERS" in guestfs(3) for general information about the stable branch policy.

       •   Check "make && make check" works on at least:

           Fedora (x86-64)
           Debian (x86-64)
           Ubuntu (x86-64)
           Fedora (aarch64)
           Fedora (ppc64)
           Fedora (ppc64le)
       •   Check "./configure --without-libvirt" works.

       •   Finalize guestfs-release-notes.pod

       •   Push and pull from Zanata.

           Run:

            zanata push

           to push the latest POT files to Zanata.  Then run:

            ./zanata-pull.sh

           which is a wrapper to pull the latest translated *.po files.

       •   Consider updating gnulib to latest upstream version.

       •   Create new stable and development directories under http://libguestfs.org/download.

       •   Edit website/index.html.in.

       •   Set the version (in configure.ac) to the new stable version, ie. 1.XX.0, and commit
           it:

            ./localconfigure
            make distclean -k
            ./localconfigure
            make && make dist
            make maintainer-commit
            make maintainer-tag

       •   Create the stable branch in git:

            git branch stable-1.XX
            git push origin stable-1.XX

       •   Do a full release of the stable branch.

       •   Set the version to the next development version and commit that.  Optionally do a full
           release of the development branch.

INTERNAL DOCUMENTATION

       This section documents internal functions inside libguestfs and various utilities.  It is
       intended for libguestfs developers only.

       This section is autogenerated from "/**" comments in source files, which are marked up in
       POD format.

       These functions are not publicly exported, and may change or be removed at any time.

   Subdirectory lib
       File lib/actions-support.c

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

       File lib/appliance-cpu.c

       The appliance choice of CPU model.

       Function "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 "-cpu" parameter or its equivalent in
       libvirt.  This returns:

       "host"
           The literal string "host" means use "-cpu host".

       some string
           Some string such as "cortex-a57" means use "-cpu cortex-a57".

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

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

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

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

       File lib/appliance-uefi.c

       Find the UEFI firmware needed to boot the appliance.

       Function "lib/appliance-uefi.c:guestfs_int_get_uefi"

        int
        guestfs_int_get_uefi (guestfs_h *g, 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).

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

       If *code == *vars == "NULL" then no UEFI firmware is available.

       *code and *vars should be freed by the caller.

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

       See also v2v/utils.ml:find_uefi_firmware

       File lib/appliance.c

       This file deals with building the libguestfs appliance.

       Function "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 0 = good, "-1" = error.  Returned in *kernel will be the name of the
       kernel to use, *initrd the name of the initrd, *appliance the name of the ext2 root
       filesystem.  *appliance can be "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 not be deleted.

       The process is as follows:

       1.  Look for the first element of "g->path" which contains a supermin appliance skeleton.
           If no element has this, skip straight to step 3.

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

       3.  Check each element of "g->path", looking for a fixed appliance.  If one is found,
           return it.

       4.  Check each element of "g->path", looking for an old-style appliance.  If one is found,
           return it.

       The supermin appliance cache directory lives in $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$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 ≥ 5) supermin provides a --lock flag and atomic update of the
       appliance.d subdirectory.

                                  char **appliance)

       Build supermin appliance from "supermin_path" to $TMPDIR/.guestfs-$UID.

       Returns: 0 = built or "-1" = error (aborts launch).

       Function "lib/appliance.c:run_supermin_build"

                            const char *supermin_path)

       Run "supermin --build" and tell it to generate the appliance.

                   void *data,
                   char **pelem_ret)

       Search elements of "g->path", returning the first path element which matches the predicate
       function "pred".

       Function "pred" must return a true or false value.  If it returns "-1" then the entire
       search is aborted.

       Return values:

         1 = a path element matched, it is returned in *pelem_ret and must be
             freed by the caller,
         0 = no path element matched, *pelem_ret is set to NULL, or
        -1 = error which aborts the launch process

       Function "lib/appliance.c:dir_contains_file"

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

       Returns true iff "file" is contained in "dir".

       Function "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 "dir".

       File lib/command.c

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

       In outline to use this interface you must:

       1.  Create a new command handle:

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

       2.  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);

           (NB: You don't need to add a "NULL" argument at the end.)

       3.  Or construct a command using a mix of quoted and unquoted strings.  (This is useful
           for system(3)/"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);

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

       5.  Run the command.  This is what does the fork(2) call, optionally loops over the
           output, and then does a 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

       6.  Close the handle:

            guestfs_int_cmd_close (cmd);

           (or use "CLEANUP_CMD_CLOSE").

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_new_command"

        struct command *
        guestfs_int_new_command (guestfs_h *g)

       Create a new command handle.

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_add_arg"

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

       Add single arg (for "execv"-style command execution).

       Function "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 "execv"-style command execution) using a printf(3)-style format
       string.

       Function "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 system(3)-style command execution).

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

       Function "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 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 system(3)-style
       command string.

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

       If flags contains "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 not "\0"-terminated, so
       you need to may attention to the length field in the callback.

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

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_set_stderr_to_stdout"

        void
        guestfs_int_cmd_set_stderr_to_stdout (struct command *cmd)

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

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_clear_capture_errors"

        void
        guestfs_int_cmd_clear_capture_errors (struct command *cmd)

       Clear the "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/command.c:finish_command"

        static void
        finish_command (struct command *cmd)

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

       Function "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.

       Function "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 "WIF*" macros.

       On error: Calls "error" and returns "-1".

       Function "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 "popen (..., "r"|"w")".

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

       After reading/writing to this pipe, call "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 "guestfs_int_cmd_get_pipe_errors" (after
       "guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait" returns an error).

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait"

        int
        guestfs_int_cmd_pipe_wait (struct command *cmd)

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

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/command.c:guestfs_int_cmd_close"

        void
        guestfs_int_cmd_close (struct command *cmd)

       Close the "cmd" object and free all resources.

       Function "lib/command.c:process_line_buffer"

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

       Deal with buffering stdout for the callback.

       File lib/conn-socket.c

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

       Function "lib/conn-socket.c:handle_log_message"

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

       This is called if "conn->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:

       1   log message(s) were handled successfully

       0   connection to appliance closed

       "-1"
           error

       Function "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 "console_sock" to be passed as "-1", meaning there's no console
       available for this appliance.

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

       Function "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 "daemon_sock" and promises not to call
       "accept_connection".

       File lib/create.c

       APIs for creating empty disks.

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

       Function "lib/create.c:disk_create_qcow2"

        #define VALID_FORMAT(format) \
          guestfs_int_string_is_valid ((format), 1, 16, \
                                       VALID_FLAG_ALPHA|VALID_FLAG_DIGIT, "")

        static int
        disk_create_qcow2 (guestfs_h *g, const char *orig_filename, int64_t size,
                           const char *backingfile,
                           const struct guestfs_disk_create_argv *optargs)

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

       File lib/drives.c

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

       Function "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.

       Function "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 "struct drive".

       Function "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 /dev/null drive.

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

       Because of these problems, we replace /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.

       Function "lib/drives.c:drive_to_string"

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

       Convert a "struct drive" to a string for debugging.  The caller must free this string.

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

       Function "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 "g->drives" vector in the handle.

       Function "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 "g->drives".

       Function "lib/drives.c:guestfs_int_free_drives"

        void
        guestfs_int_free_drives (guestfs_h *g)

       Free up all the drives in the handle.

       Function "lib/drives.c:valid_port"

         * Check the port number is reasonable.
         */
        static int

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

       Function "lib/drives.c:guestfs_impl_remove_drive"

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

       This function implements "guestfs_remove_drive" in guestfs(3).

       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 ("NULL") slot in the "g->drives" vector.

       Function "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 atomicly.  Only
       used by "guestfs_add_domain" in guestfs(3).

       Function "lib/drives.c:guestfs_impl_debug_drives"

        char **
        guestfs_impl_debug_drives (guestfs_h *g)

       Internal function to return the list of drives.

       File 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 "error" or
       "perrorf" macros along error paths, eg:

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

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

       Function "lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_warning"

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

       Print a warning.

       Code should not call this function directly.  Use the "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.

       Function "lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_debug"

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

       Print a debug message.

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

       Function "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.

       Function "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 "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.

       Function "lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_perrorf"

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

       Similar to 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 "perrorf (g, fs, ...)" macro instead of calling this directly.

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/errors.c:guestfs_int_launch_timeout"

        void
        guestfs_int_launch_timeout (guestfs_h *g)

       Raise an error if the appliance hangs during launch.

       Function "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.

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

       File lib/events.c

       Function "lib/events.c:replace_old_style_event_callback"

        static void
        replace_old_style_event_callback (guestfs_h *g,

       Emulate old-style callback API.

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

       File 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. all C code).

       If you need a definition used by only the library, put it in lib/guestfs-internal.h
       instead.  If you need a definition used by only the frontend (non-daemon) parts of
       libguestfs, try lib/guestfs-internal-frontend.h.  If a definition is used by only a single
       tool, it should not be in any shared header file at all.

       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.

       File lib/guid.c

       Function "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 "{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" or
       "21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D".

       File lib/handle.c

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

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       "guestfs_shutdown" calls "shutdown_backend" with "check_for_errors=1".  "guestfs_close"
       calls "shutdown_backend" with "check_for_errors=0".

       "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.

       Function "lib/handle.c:close_handles"

        static void
        close_handles (void)

       Close all open handles (called from atexit(3)).

        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.

       File lib/inspect.c

       This file, and the other "lib/inspect*.c" files, handle inspection.  See "INSPECTION" in
       guestfs(3).

        char **
        guestfs_impl_inspect_os (guestfs_h *g)

       Function "lib/inspect.c:collect_coreos_inspection_info"

        static void
        collect_coreos_inspection_info (guestfs_h *g)

       Traverse through the filesystem list and find out if it contains the "/" and "/usr"
       filesystems of a CoreOS image. If this is the case, sum up all the collected information
       on the root fs.

       Function "lib/inspect.c:collect_linux_inspection_info_for"

        static void
        collect_linux_inspection_info_for (guestfs_h *g, struct inspect_fs *root)

       Traverse through the filesystems and find the /usr filesystem for the specified "root": if
       found, merge its basic inspection details to the root when they were set (i.e. because the
       /usr had os-release or other ways to identify the OS).

       Function "lib/inspect.c:collect_linux_inspection_info"

        static void
        collect_linux_inspection_info (guestfs_h *g)

       Traverse through the filesystem list and find out if it contains the "/" and "/usr"
       filesystems of a Linux image (but not CoreOS, for which there is a separate
       "collect_coreos_inspection_info").  If this is the case, sum up all the collected
       information on each root fs from the respective /usr filesystems.

       Function "lib/inspect.c:check_for_duplicated_bsd_root"

        static void
        check_for_duplicated_bsd_root (guestfs_h *g)

       On *BSD systems, sometimes /dev/sda[1234] is a shadow of the real root filesystem that is
       probably /dev/sda5 (see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disk-organization.html)

       Function "lib/inspect.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 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 "extension" (or pass "NULL" for none).

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

       File lib/launch-direct.c

       Implementation of the "direct" backend.

       For more details see "BACKENDS" in guestfs(3).

       File lib/launch-libvirt.c

       Function "lib/launch-libvirt.c:get_source_format_or_autodetect"

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

       Return "drv->src.format", but if it is "NULL", autodetect the format.

       libvirt has disabled the feature of detecting the disk format, unless the administrator
       sets "allow_disk_format_probing=1" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.  There is no way to detect
       if this option is set, so we have to do format detection here using "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 "NULL".

       Function "lib/launch-libvirt.c:make_qcow2_overlay"

        static char *

                            const char *format)

       Create a qcow2 format overlay, with the given "backing_drive" (file).  The "format"
       parameter, which must be non-NULL, is the backing file format.  This is used to create the
       appliance overlay, and also for read-only drives.

       File lib/launch.c

       This file implements "guestfs_launch" in guestfs(3).

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

       Function "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

       Notes:

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

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

       3.  There is a hack in lib/proto.c to make this work.

       Function "lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_timeval_diff"

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

       Compute "y - x" and return the result in milliseconds.

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

       Function "lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_unblock_sigterm"

        void
        guestfs_int_unblock_sigterm (void)

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

       Function "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).

       Function "lib/launch.c:guestfs_impl_wait_ready"

        int
        guestfs_impl_wait_ready (guestfs_h *g)

       Implementation of "guestfs_wait_ready" in guestfs(3).  You had to call this function after
       launch in versions ≤ 1.0.70, but it is now an (almost) no-op.

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/launch.c:guestfs_int_set_backend"

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

       Implementation of "guestfs_set_backend" in guestfs(3).

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

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

       File lib/private-data.c

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

       For more information see "PRIVATE DATA AREA" in guestfs(3).

       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).

       Structure "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 "pda_entry"
       structures.

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

       File 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
       (lib/actions-*.c).  There are five different cases to consider:

       1.  A non-daemon function (eg. "guestfs_set_verbose" in guestfs(3)).  There is no RPC
           involved at all, it's all handled inside the library.

       2.  A simple RPC (eg. "guestfs_mount" in guestfs(3)).  We write the request, then read the
           reply.  The sequence of calls is:

             guestfs_int_send
             guestfs_int_recv

       3.  An RPC with "FileIn" parameters (eg. "guestfs_upload" in guestfs(3)).  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

       4.  An RPC with "FileOut" parameters (eg. "guestfs_download" in guestfs(3)).  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)

       5.  Both "FileIn" and "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.

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

       Function "lib/proto.c:child_cleanup"

        static void
        child_cleanup (guestfs_h *g)

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

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_log_message_callback"

        void
        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.

       Function "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:

       error
           return -1

       daemon cancellation message
           return -2

       progress message
           handle it here

       end of input or appliance exited unexpectedly
           return 0

       anything else
           return 1

       Function "lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_send_file"

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

       Send a file.

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

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/proto.c:send_file_cancellation"

        static int
        send_file_cancellation (guestfs_h *g)

       Send a cancellation message.

       Function "lib/proto.c:send_file_complete"

        static int
        send_file_complete (guestfs_h *g)

       Send a file complete chunk.

       Function "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 0, otherwise "-1".

       Both "size_rtn" and "buf_rtn" must be passed by the caller as non-NULL.

       *size_rtn returns the size of the returned message or it may be "GUESTFS_LAUNCH_FLAG" or
       "GUESTFS_CANCEL_FLAG".

       *buf_rtn is returned containing the message (if any) or will be set to "NULL".  *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.

       Function "lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_recv"

        int
        guestfs_int_recv (guestfs_h *g, const char *fn,
                         guestfs_message_header *hdr,
                         guestfs_message_error *err,
                         xdrproc_t xdrp, char *ret)

       Receive a reply.

       Function "lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_recv_discard"

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

       Same as "guestfs_int_recv", but it discards the reply message.

       Notes (XXX):

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

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

       Function "lib/proto.c:guestfs_int_recv_file"

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

       Returns "-1" = error, 0 = EOF, ">0" = more data

        static ssize_t
        receive_file_data (guestfs_h *g, void **buf_r)

       Receive a chunk of file data.

       Returns "-1" = error, 0 = EOF, ">0" = more data

       Functions to handle qemu versions and features.

       Function "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 "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "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 "qemu_help" into the major and minor version of qemu, but don't
       fail if parsing is not possible.

       Function "lib/qemu.c:parse_json"

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

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

       Generic functions for reading and writing the cache files, used where we are just reading
       and writing plain text strings.

       Function "lib/qemu.c:generic_qmp_test"

        static int
        generic_qmp_test (guestfs_h *g, struct qemu_data *data,
                          const char *qmp_command,
                          char **outp)

       Run a generic QMP test on the QEMU binary.

       Function "lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_version"

        struct version
        guestfs_int_qemu_version (guestfs_h *g, struct qemu_data *data)

       Return the parsed version of qemu.

       Function "lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_supports"

        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).

       Function "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 "qemu -device ?" output).

       Function "lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_supports_virtio_scsi"

        int
        guestfs_int_qemu_supports_virtio_scsi (guestfs_h *g, struct qemu_data *data,
                                               const struct version *qemu_version)

       Test if qemu supports virtio-scsi.

       Returns 1 = use virtio-scsi, or 0 = use virtio-blk.

       Function "lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_qemu_mandatory_locking"

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

       Test if the qemu binary uses mandatory file locking, added in QEMU >= 2.10 (but sometimes
       disabled).

       Function "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 "," becomes ",,".  The caller must free the returned string.

       Function "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 "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
       qemu-img(1)).

       Function "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 1 if discard is possible.  It returns 0 if not possible and sets the error to
       the reason why.

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

       Function "lib/qemu.c:guestfs_int_free_qemu_data"

        void
        guestfs_int_free_qemu_data (struct qemu_data *data)

       Free the "struct qemu_data".

       File lib/stringsbuf.c

       An expandable NULL-terminated vector of strings (like "argv").

       Use the "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.

       Function "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 strdup(3) on the string, so the string itself is stored inside the
       vector.

       Function "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.

       This makes a copy of the string.

       Function "lib/stringsbuf.c:guestfs_int_add_sprintf"

        void
        guestfs_int_add_sprintf (guestfs_h *g, struct stringsbuf *sb,
                                const char *fs, ...)

       Add a string to the end of the list.

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

       Function "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.

       Function "lib/stringsbuf.c:guestfs_int_free_stringsbuf"

        void
        guestfs_int_free_stringsbuf (struct stringsbuf *sb)

       Free the string buffer and the strings.

       File lib/tmpdirs.c

       Handle temporary directories.

       Function "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
       (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/882417).

       The "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).

       Function "lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_impl_get_tmpdir"

        char *
        guestfs_impl_get_tmpdir (guestfs_h *g)

       Implements the "guestfs_get_tmpdir" API.

       Note this actually calculates the tmpdir, so it never returns "NULL".

       Function "lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_impl_get_cachedir"

        char *
        guestfs_impl_get_cachedir (guestfs_h *g)

       Implements the "guestfs_get_cachedir" API.

       Note this actually calculates the cachedir, so it never returns "NULL".

       Function "lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_impl_get_sockdir"

        char *
        guestfs_impl_get_sockdir (guestfs_h *g)

       Implements the "guestfs_get_sockdir" API.

       Note this actually calculates the sockdir, so it never returns "NULL".

       Function "lib/tmpdirs.c:guestfs_int_lazy_make_tmpdir"

        int
        guestfs_int_lazy_make_tmpdir (guestfs_h *g)

       The "g->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.

       Function "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.

       Function "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.

       Function "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 "rm -rf" because that's simpler and safer.

       File lib/umask.c

       Return current umask in a thread-safe way.

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

       We use "Umask" from /proc/self/status for Linux ≥ 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.

       Function "lib/umask.c:guestfs_int_getumask"

        int
        guestfs_int_getumask (guestfs_h *g)

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

       Function "lib/umask.c:get_umask_from_proc"

        static int
        get_umask_from_proc (guestfs_h *g)

       For Linux ≥ 4.7 get the umask from /proc/self/status.

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

       Function "lib/umask.c:get_umask_from_fork"

        static int
        get_umask_from_fork (guestfs_h *g)

       Fallback method of getting the umask using fork.

       File lib/unit-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.

       File lib/version.c

       This file provides simple version number management.

       Function "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 "X.Y" pattern.

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

       Function "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 "re" as regular expression which must
       provide (at least) two matches.

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

       Function "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 "X.Y" pattern or considering it as
       whole integer.

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

       File lib/wait.c

       Function "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 waitpid(3) which retries if "EINTR" is returned.

       Note: this only needs to be used in the library, or in programs that install a non-
       restartable "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, "SIGCHLD" is
       sent to the process, and the wait syscall returns "EINTR".  Since the library cannot
       control the signal handler, we have to instead restart the wait syscall, which is the
       purpose of this wrapper.

       Function "lib/wait.c:guestfs_int_waitpid_noerror"

        void
        guestfs_int_waitpid_noerror (pid_t pid)

       Like "guestfs_int_waitpid", but ignore errors.

       Function "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 wait4(2) which retries if "EINTR" is returned.

       File lib/whole-file.c

       Function "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 "filename" into a memory buffer.

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

       On error this sets the error in the handle and returns "-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 regular, local, 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.

   Subdirectory builder
       File builder/index-parser-c.c

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

   Subdirectory common/edit
       File common/edit/file-edit.c

       This file implements common file editing in a range of utilities including guestfish(1),
       virt-edit(1), virt-customize(1) and virt-builder(1).

       It contains the code for both interactive-(editor-)based editing and non-interactive
       editing using Perl snippets.

       Function "common/edit/file-edit.c:edit_file_editor"

        int
        edit_file_editor (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename, const char *editor,
                          const char *backup_extension, int verbose)

       Edit "filename" using the specified "editor" application.

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

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

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

       Function "common/edit/file-edit.c:edit_file_perl"

        int
        edit_file_perl (guestfs_h *g, const char *filename, const char *perl_expr,
                        const char *backup_extension, int verbose)

       Edit "filename" running the specified "perl_expr" using Perl.

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

       Returns "-1" for failure, 0 on success.

   Subdirectory common/options
       File common/options/config.c

       This file parses the guestfish configuration file, usually ~/.libguestfs-tools.rc or
       /etc/libguestfs-tools.conf.

       Note that "parse_config" is called very early, before command line parsing, before the
       "verbose" flag has been set, even before the global handle "g" is opened.

       File common/options/decrypt.c

       This file implements the decryption of disk images, usually done before mounting their
       partitions.

       Function "common/options/decrypt.c:make_mapname"

        static void
        make_mapname (const char *device, char *mapname, size_t len)

       Make a LUKS map name from the partition name, eg. "/dev/vda2" => "luksvda2"

       Function "common/options/decrypt.c:inspect_do_decrypt"

        void
        inspect_do_decrypt (guestfs_h *g)

       Simple implementation of decryption: look for any "crypto_LUKS" partitions and decrypt
       them, then rescan for VGs.  This only works for Fedora whole-disk encryption.  WIP to make
       this work for other encryption schemes.

       File common/options/display-options.c

       This file contains common code used to implement --short-options and --long-options in C
       virt tools.  (The equivalent for OCaml virt tools is implemented by mllib/getopt.ml).

       These "hidden" options are used to implement bash tab completion.

       Function "common/options/display-options.c:display_short_options"

        void
        display_short_options (const char *format)

       Implements the internal "tool --short-options" flag, which just lists out the short
       options available.  Used by bash completion.

       Function "common/options/display-options.c:display_long_options"

        void
        display_long_options (const struct option *long_options)

       Implements the internal "tool --long-options" flag, which just lists out the long options
       available.  Used by bash completion.

       File common/options/domain.c

       Implements the guestfish (and other tools) -d option.

       Function "common/options/domain.c:add_libvirt_drives"

        int
        add_libvirt_drives (guestfs_h *g, const char *guest)

       This function is called when a user invokes "guestfish -d guest".

       Returns the number of drives added ("> 0"), or "-1" for failure.

       File common/options/inspect.c

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

       Function "common/options/inspect.c:inspect_mount_handle"

        void
        inspect_mount_handle (guestfs_h *g)

       This function implements the -i option.

       Function "common/options/inspect.c:print_inspect_prompt"

        void
        print_inspect_prompt (void)

       This function is called only if "inspect_mount_root" was called, and only after we've
       printed the prompt in interactive mode.

       File common/options/keys.c

       Function "common/options/keys.c:read_key"

        char *
        read_key (const char *param)

       Read a passphrase ('Key') from /dev/tty with echo off.

       The caller (fish/cmds.c) will call free on the string afterwards.  Based on the code in
       cryptsetup file lib/utils.c.

       File 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 -a option, and that is
       handled in all of those tools using a macro "OPTION_a" defined in fish/options.h.

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

       Function "common/options/options.c:option_a"

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

       Handle the guestfish -a option on the command line.

       Function "common/options/options.c:option_d"

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

       Handle the -d option when passed on the command line.

       Function "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 -m option fails on any command, display a useful error message listing the
       mountpoints.

       File common/options/uri.c

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

   Subdirectory common/parallel
       File common/parallel/domains.c

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

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

       Function "common/parallel/domains.c:free_domains"

        void
        free_domains (void)

       Frees up everything allocated by "get_all_libvirt_domains".

       Function "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 "domains" and "nr_domains".  The guests
       are ordered by name.  This exits on any error.

       File common/parallel/estimate-max-threads.c

       Function "common/parallel/estimate-max-threads.c:estimate_max_threads"

        size_t
        estimate_max_threads (void)

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

       Function "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.

       File common/parallel/parallel.c

       This file is used by "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).

       Function "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.

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

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

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

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

   Subdirectory common/progress
       File common/progress/progress.c

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

       Function "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 "progress_bar_reset" before each new command.

       Function "common/progress/progress.c:progress_bar_free"

        void
        progress_bar_free (struct progress_bar *bar)

       Free a progress bar struct.

       Function "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.

       Function "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 <0.0 when
       nothing should be printed).

       Function "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 "GUESTFS_EVENT_PROGRESS" event callback.

   Subdirectory common/utils
       File common/utils/cleanup.c

       Libguestfs uses "CLEANUP_*" macros to simplify temporary allocations.  They are
       implemented using the "__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:

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

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

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

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

       File common/utils/guestfs-internal-frontend.h

       This header file is included in all "frontend" parts of libguestfs, namely the library,
       non-C language bindings, virt tools and tests.

       The daemon does not use this header.  If you need a place to put something shared with
       absolutely everything including the daemon, put it in lib/guestfs-internal-all.h

       If a definition is only needed by a single component of libguestfs (eg. just the library,
       or just a single virt tool) then it should not be here!

       File common/utils/utils.c

       Utility functions used by the library, tools and language bindings.

       These functions these must not call internal library functions such as "safe_*", "error"
       or "perrorf", or any "guestfs_int_*".

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_split_string"

        char **
        guestfs_int_split_string (char sep, const char *str)

       Split string at separator character "sep", returning the list of strings.  Returns "NULL"
       on memory allocation failure.

       Note (assuming "sep" is ":"):

       "str == NULL"
           aborts

       "str == """
           returns "[]"

       "str == "abc""
           returns "["abc"]"

       "str == ":""
           returns "["", ""]"

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_exit_status_to_string"

        char *
        guestfs_int_exit_status_to_string (int status, const char *cmd_name,
                                          char *buffer, size_t buflen)

       Translate a wait/system exit status into a printable string.

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_random_string"

        int
        guestfs_int_random_string (char *ret, size_t len)

       Return a random string of characters.

       Notes:

       •   The "ret" buffer must have length "len+1" in order to store the final "\0" character.

       •   There is about 5 bits of randomness per output character (so about "5*len" bits of
           randomness in the resulting string).

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_drive_name"

        char *
        guestfs_int_drive_name (size_t index, char *ret)

       This turns a drive index (eg. 27) into a drive name (eg. "ab").

       Drive indexes count from 0.  The return buffer has to be large enough for the resulting
       string, and the returned pointer points to the *end* of the string.

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_drive_index"

        ssize_t
        guestfs_int_drive_index (const char *name)

       The opposite of "guestfs_int_drive_name".  Take a string like "ab" and return the index
       (eg 27).

       Note that you must remove any prefix such as "hd", "sd" etc, or any partition number
       before calling the function.

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_is_true"

        int
        guestfs_int_is_true (const char *str)

       Similar to "Tcl_GetBoolean".

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_string_is_valid"

        bool
        guestfs_int_string_is_valid (const char *str,
                                     size_t min_length, size_t max_length,
                                     int flags, const char *extra)

       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 lib/drives.c for
       an example.

       "str" is the string to check.

       "min_length" and "max_length" are the minimum and maximum length checks.  0 means no
       check.

       The flags control:

       "VALID_FLAG_ALPHA"
           7-bit ASCII-only alphabetic characters are permitted.

       "VALID_FLAG_DIGIT"
           7-bit ASCII-only digits are permitted.

       "extra" is a set of extra characters permitted, in addition to alphabetic and/or digits.
       ("extra = NULL" for no extra).

       Returns boolean "true" if the string is valid (passes all the tests), or "false" if not.

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_normal"

        void
        guestfs_int_fadvise_normal (int fd)

       Hint that we will read or write the file descriptor normally.

       On Linux, this clears the "FMODE_RANDOM" flag on the file [see below] and sets the per-
       file number of readahead pages to equal the block device readahead setting.

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

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_sequential"

        void
        guestfs_int_fadvise_sequential (int fd)

       Hint that we will read or write the file descriptor sequentially.

       On Linux, this clears the "FMODE_RANDOM" flag on the file [see below] and sets the per-
       file number of readahead pages to twice the block device readahead setting.

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

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_random"

        void
        guestfs_int_fadvise_random (int fd)

       Hint that we will read or write the file descriptor randomly.

       On Linux, this sets the "FMODE_RANDOM" flag on the file.  The effect of this flag is to:

       •   Disable normal sequential file readahead.

       •   If any read of the file is done which misses in the page cache, 2MB are read into the
           page cache.  [I think - I'm not sure I totally understand what this is doing]

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

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_noreuse"

        void
        guestfs_int_fadvise_noreuse (int fd)

       Hint that we will access the data only once.

       On Linux, this does nothing.

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

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_dontneed"

        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 hint.

       Function "common/utils/utils.c:guestfs_int_fadvise_willneed"

        void
        guestfs_int_fadvise_willneed (int fd)

       Hint that we will access the data in the near future.

       On Linux, this immediately reads the whole file into the page cache.  This setting is not
       persistent; subsequently pages may be dropped from the page cache as normal.

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

       Function "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
       /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.

       "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.
       "NULL" is returned on error and "errno" is set accordingly.

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

   Subdirectory common/visit
       File common/visit/visit.c

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

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

       Function "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 "dir".

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

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

       Also passed to this function is an "opaque" pointer which is passed through to the visitor
       function.

       Returns 0 if everything went OK, or "-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.

   Subdirectory common/windows
       File common/windows/windows.c

       This file implements "win:" Windows file path support in guestfish(1).

       Function "common/windows/windows.c:is_windows"

        int
        is_windows (guestfs_h *g, const char *root)

       Checks whether "root" is a Windows installation.

       This relies on an already being done introspection.

       Function "common/windows/windows.c:windows_path"

        char *
        windows_path (guestfs_h *g, const char *root, const char *path, int readonly)

       Resolves "path" as possible Windows path according to "root", giving a new path that can
       be used in libguestfs API calls.

       Notes:

       •   "root" must be a Windows installation

       •   relies on an already being done introspection

       •   will unmount all the existing mount points and mount the Windows root (according to
           "readonly")

       •   calls exit(3) on memory allocation failures

   Subdirectory daemon
       File daemon/command.c

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

       Function "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 0 if the command ran successfully, or "-1" if there was any error.

       For a description of the "flags" see "commandrvf".

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

       Function "daemon/command.c:commandrf"

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

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

       We still return "-1" if there was some other error.

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

       Function "daemon/command.c:commandvf"

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

       Same as "command", but passing in an argv array.

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

       Function "daemon/command.c:commandrvf"

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

       This is a more sane version of 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 "stdoutput" is not "NULL", then *stdoutput will return the stdout of the command as a
       string.

       If "stderror" is not "NULL", then *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 "reply_with_error".

       Flags are:

       "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 *stderror buffer.  If using this flag, you should pass
           "stdoutput=NULL" because nothing could ever be captured in that buffer.

       "COMMAND_FLAG_CHROOT_COPY_FILE_TO_STDIN"
           For running external commands on chrooted files correctly (see
           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 daemon/hexdump.c for an example of
           usage.

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

       File daemon/guestfsd.c

       This is the guestfs daemon which runs inside the guestfs appliance.  This file handles
       start up, connecting back to the library, and has several utility functions.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.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).

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:sysroot_path"

        char *
        sysroot_path (const char *path)

       Turn "/path" into "/sysroot/path".

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

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

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:sysroot_realpath"

        char *
        sysroot_realpath (const char *path)

       Resolve path within sysroot, calling "sysroot_path" on the resolved path.

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

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

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:is_power_of_2"

        int
        is_power_of_2 (unsigned long v)

       Returns true if "v" is a power of 2.

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

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:compare_device_names"

        int
        compare_device_names (const char *a, const char *b)

       Compare device names (including partition numbers if present).

       https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/how-are-linux-drives-named-beyond-drive-26-devsdz/

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.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:

       ""  returns "[]"

       "\n"
           returns "[""]"

       "a\nb"
           returns "["a"; "b"]"

       "a\nb\n"
           returns "["a"; "b"]"

       "a\nb\n\n"
           returns "["a"; "b"; ""]"

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

       "argv" in the "struct stringsbuf" will be "NULL" in case of errors.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:trim"

        void
        trim (char *str)

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

       Function "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 %Q ("quoted") and %R to print shell-quoted strings.
       See guestfs-hacking(1) for more details.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:device_name_translation"

        char *
        device_name_translation (const char *device)

       Perform device name translation.  See guestfs(3) for the algorithm.  Usually you should
       not call this directly.

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

       It returns "NULL" on error.  Note it does not call "reply_with_*".

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

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.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 /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 "btrfsvol:".

       On success, "mountable->device" and "mountable->volume" must be freed by the caller.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:mountable_to_string"

        char *
        mountable_to_string (const mountable_t *mountable)

       Convert a "mountable_t" back to its string representation

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

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:prog_exists"

        int
        prog_exists (const char *prog)

       Check program exists and is executable on $PATH.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:random_name"

        int
        random_name (char *template)

       Pass a template such as "/sysroot/XXXXXXXX.XXX".  This updates the template to contain a
       randomly named file.  Any 'X' characters after the final '/' 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, "-1" is returned.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.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 "/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 "udevadm settle" after certain commands, but don't be too fussed if it fails.

       Function "daemon/guestfsd.c:make_exclude_from_file"

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

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

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

       File daemon/internal.c

       Internal functions that are not part of the public API.

   Subdirectory fish
       File fish/alloc.c

       This file implements the guestfish "alloc" and "sparse" commands.

       Function "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.

       File fish/copy.c

       This file implements the guestfish commands "copy-in" and "copy-out".

       File fish/destpaths.c

       The file handles tab-completion of filesystem paths in guestfish.

       File fish/display.c

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

       File fish/echo.c

       The file implements the guestfish "echo" command.

       File fish/edit.c

       guestfish "edit" command, suggested by Ján Ondrej.

       File fish/events.c

       This file implements the guestfish event-related commands, "event", "delete-event" and
       "list-events".

       File fish/fish.c

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

       Function "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 '!', '#' etc.  This
       destructively updates "buf".

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

       Returns in "parsed_command.status":

       1   got a guestfish command (returned in "cmd_rtn"/"argv_rtn"/"pipe_rtn")

       0   no guestfish command, but otherwise OK

       "-1"
           an error

       Function "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.

       Function "fish/fish.c:execute_and_inline"

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

       Used to handle "<!" (execute command and inline result).

       Function "fish/fish.c:issue_command"

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

       Run a command.

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

       Function "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:

         guestfish disk.img

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

       Function "fish/fish.c:error_cb"

        static void
        error_cb (guestfs_h *g, void *data, const char *msg)

       Error callback.  This replaces the standard libguestfs error handler.

       Function "fish/fish.c:free_n_strings"

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

       Free strings from a non-NULL terminated "char**".

       Function "fish/fish.c:decode_ps1"

        static char *
        decode_ps1 (const char *str)

       Decode "str" into the final printable prompt string.

       Function "fish/fish.c:win_prefix"

        char *
        win_prefix (const char *path)

       Resolve the special "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 "NULL".

       Function "fish/fish.c:file_in"

        char *
        file_in (const char *arg)

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

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

       Function "fish/fish.c:file_out"

        char *
        file_out (const char *arg)

       Resolve the special "FileOut" paths ("-" or filename).

       The caller (fish/cmds.c) will call "free (str)" after the command has run.

       Function "fish/fish.c:progress_callback"

        void
        progress_callback (guestfs_h *g, void *data,
                           uint64_t event, int event_handle, int flags,
                           const char *buf, size_t buf_len,
                           const uint64_t *array, size_t array_len)

       Callback which displays a progress bar.

       File fish/glob.c

       This file implements the guestfish "glob" command.

       Function "fish/glob.c:expand_devicename"

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

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

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

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

       Should "/dev/" + "*" 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):

       •   This doesn't handle device name translation.  It wouldn't be too hard to add.

       •   Could have an API function for returning all device-like things.

       Function "fish/glob.c:add_strings_matching"

        static int
        add_strings_matching (char **pp, const char *glob,
                              char ***ret, size_t *size_r)

       Using POSIX fnmatch(3), find strings in the list "pp" which match pattern "glob".  Add
       strings which match to the "ret" array.  *size_r is the current size of the "ret" array,
       which is updated with the new size.

       Function "fish/glob.c:single_element_list"

        static char **
        single_element_list (const char *element)

       Return a single element list containing "element".

       File fish/help.c

       The file implements the guestfish "help" command.

       Function "fish/help.c:display_help"

        int
        display_help (const char *cmd, size_t argc, char *argv[])

       The "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.

       File fish/hexedit.c

       This file implements the guestfish "hexedit" command.

       File fish/lcd.c

       Function "fish/lcd.c:run_lcd"

        int
        run_lcd (const char *cmd, size_t argc, char *argv[])

       guestfish "lcd" command (similar to the "lcd" command in BSD ftp).

       File fish/man.c

       Function "fish/man.c:run_man"

        int
        run_man (const char *cmd, size_t argc, char *argv[])

       guestfish "man" command

       File fish/more.c

       This file implements the guestfish "more" command.

       File fish/prep.c

       This file implements the guestfish -N option for creating pre-prepared disk layouts.

       File fish/rc.c

       This file implements guestfish remote (command) support.

       Function "fish/rc.c:rc_listen"

        void
        rc_listen (void)

       The remote control server (ie. "guestfish --listen").

       Function "fish/rc.c:rc_remote"

        int
        rc_remote (int pid, const char *cmd, size_t argc, char *argv[],
                   int exit_on_error)

       The remote control client (ie. "guestfish --remote").

       File fish/reopen.c

       This file implements the guestfish "reopen" command.

       File fish/setenv.c

       This file implements the guestfish "setenv" and "unsetenv" commands.

       File fish/supported.c

       This file implements the guestfish "supported" command.

       File fish/tilde.c

       This file implements tilde ("~") expansion of home directories in guestfish(1).

       Function "fish/tilde.c:try_tilde_expansion"

        char *
        try_tilde_expansion (char *str)

       This is called from the script loop if we find a candidate for "~username" (tilde-
       expansion).

       Function "fish/tilde.c:expand_home"

        static char *
        expand_home (char *orig, const char *append)

       Return $HOME + append string.

       Function "fish/tilde.c:find_home_for_username"

        static const char *
        find_home_for_username (const char *username, size_t ulen)

       Lookup "username" (of length "ulen"), return home directory if found, or "NULL" if not
       found.

       File fish/time.c

       This file implements the guestfish "time" command.

   Subdirectory mllib
       File mllib/xml-c.c

       Mini interface to libxml2.

   Subdirectory p2v
       File p2v/config.c

       Function "p2v/config.c:print_config"

        void
        print_config (struct config *config, FILE *fp)

       Print the conversion parameters and other important information.

       File p2v/conversion.c

       This file manages the p2v conversion.

       The conversion is actually done by virt-v2v(1) running on the remote conversion server.
       This file manages running the remote command and provides callbacks for displaying the
       output.

       When virt-p2v operates in GUI mode, this code runs in a separate thread.  When virt-p2v
       operates in kernel mode, this runs synchronously in the main thread.

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:generate_libvirt_xml"

        static void
        generate_libvirt_xml (struct config *config, struct data_conn *data_conns,
                              const char *filename)

       Write the libvirt XML for this physical machine.

       Note this is not actually input for libvirt.  It's input for virt-v2v on the conversion
       server.  Virt-v2v will (if necessary) generate the final libvirt XML.

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:map_interface_to_network"

        static const char *
        map_interface_to_network (struct config *config, const char *interface)

       Using "config->network_map", map the interface to a target network name.  If no map is
       found, return "default".  See virt-p2v(1) documentation of "p2v.network" for how the
       network map works.

       Note this returns a static string which is only valid as long as "config->network_map" is
       not freed.

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:generate_name"

        static void
        generate_name (struct config *config, const char *filename)

       Write the guest name into "filename".

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:generate_wrapper_script"

        static void
        generate_wrapper_script (struct config *config, const char *remote_dir,
                                 const char *filename)

       Construct the virt-v2v wrapper script.

       This will be sent to the remote server, and is easier than trying to "type" a long and
       complex single command line into the ssh connection when we start the conversion.

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:print_quoted"

        static void
        print_quoted (FILE *fp, const char *s)

       Print a shell-quoted string on "fp".

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:generate_system_data"

        static void
        generate_system_data (const char *dmesg_file,
                              const char *lscpu_file,
                              const char *lspci_file,
                              const char *lsscsi_file,
                              const char *lsusb_file)

       Collect data about the system running virt-p2v such as the dmesg output and lists of PCI
       devices.  This is useful for diagnosis when things go wrong.

       If any command fails, this is non-fatal.

       Function "p2v/conversion.c:generate_p2v_version_file"

        static void
        generate_p2v_version_file (const char *p2v_version_file)

       Generate a file containing the version of virt-p2v.

       The version of virt-v2v is contained in the conversion log.

       File p2v/gui.c

       This file implements almost all of the virt-p2v graphical user interface (GUI).

       The GUI has three main dialogs:

       Connection dialog
           The connection dialog is the one shown initially.  It asks the user to type in the
           login details for the remote conversion server and invites the user to test the ssh
           connection.

       Conversion dialog
           The conversion dialog asks for information about the target VM (eg. the number of
           vCPUs required), and about what to convert (eg. which network interfaces should be
           copied and which should be ignored).

       Running dialog
           The running dialog is displayed when the P2V process is underway.  It mainly displays
           the virt-v2v debug messages.

       Note that the other major dialog ("Configure network ...") is handled entirely by
       NetworkManager's nm-connection-editor(1) program and has nothing to do with this code.

       This file is written in a kind of "pseudo-Gtk" which is backwards compatible from Gtk 2.10
       (RHEL 5) through at least Gtk 3.22.  This is done using a few macros to implement old
       "gtk_*" functions or map them to newer functions.  Supporting ancient Gtk is important
       because we want to provide a virt-p2v binary that can run on very old kernels, to support
       32 bit and proprietary SCSI drivers.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:gui_conversion"

        void
        gui_conversion (struct config *config)

       The entry point from the main program.

       Note that "gtk_init" etc have already been called in "main".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:create_connection_dialog"

        static void
        create_connection_dialog (struct config *config)

       Create the connection dialog.

       This creates the dialog, but it is not displayed.  See "show_connection_dialog".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:username_changed_callback"

        static void
        username_changed_callback (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       If the username is "root", disable the sudo button.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:password_or_identity_changed_callback"

        static void
        password_or_identity_changed_callback (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       The password or SSH identity URL entries are mutually exclusive, so if one contains text
       then disable the other.  This function is called when the "changed" signal is received on
       either.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:show_connection_dialog"

        static void
        show_connection_dialog (void)

       Hide all other dialogs and show the connection dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:test_connection_clicked"

        static void
        test_connection_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback from the "Test connection" button.

       This initiates a background thread which actually does the ssh to the conversion server
       and the rest of the testing (see "test_connection_thread").

       Function "p2v/gui.c:test_connection_thread"

        static void *
        test_connection_thread (void *data)

       Run "test_connection" (in a detached background thread).  Once it finishes stop the
       spinner and set the spinner message appropriately.  If the test is successful then we
       enable the "Next" button.  If unsuccessful, an error is shown in the connection dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:start_spinner"

        static gboolean
        start_spinner (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "test_connection_thread" (but run on the main thread) to start the
       spinner in the connection dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:stop_spinner"

        static gboolean
        stop_spinner (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "test_connection_thread" (but run on the main thread) to stop the
       spinner in the connection dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:test_connection_error"

        static gboolean
        test_connection_error (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "test_connection_thread" (but run on the main thread) when there is
       an error.  Display the error message and disable the "Next" button so the user is forced
       to correct it.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:test_connection_ok"

        static gboolean
        test_connection_ok (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "test_connection_thread" (but run on the main thread) when the
       connection test was successful.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:configure_network_button_clicked"

        static void
        configure_network_button_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback from the "Configure network ..." button.  This dialog is handled entirely by an
       external program which is part of NetworkManager.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:xterm_button_clicked"

        static void
        xterm_button_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback from the "XTerm ..." button.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:about_button_clicked"

        static void
        about_button_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback from the "About virt-p2v ..." button.

       See also p2v/about-authors.c and p2v/about-license.c.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:connection_next_clicked"

        static void
        connection_next_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback when the connection dialog "Next" button has been clicked.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:create_conversion_dialog"

        static void
        create_conversion_dialog (struct config *config)

       Create the conversion dialog.

       This creates the dialog, but it is not displayed.  See "show_conversion_dialog".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:show_conversion_dialog"

        static void
        show_conversion_dialog (void)

       Hide all other dialogs and show the conversion dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:set_info_label"

        static void
        set_info_label (void)

       Update the "Information" section in the conversion dialog.

       Note that "v2v_version" (the remote virt-v2v version) is read from the remote virt-v2v in
       the "test_connection" function.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:repopulate_output_combo"

        static void
        repopulate_output_combo (struct config *config)

       Repopulate the list of output drivers in the "Output to (-o)" combo.  The list of drivers
       is read from the remote virt-v2v instance in "test_connection".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:populate_disks"

        static void
        populate_disks (GtkTreeView *disks_list)

       Populate the "Fixed hard disks" treeview.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:populate_removable"

        static void
        populate_removable (GtkTreeView *removable_list)

       Populate the "Removable media" treeview.

        maybe_identify_click (GtkWidget *interfaces_list, GdkEventButton *event,
                              gpointer data)

       When the user clicks on the interface name on the list of interfaces, we want to run
       "ethtool --identify", which usually makes some lights flash on the physical interface.

       We cannot catch clicks on the cell itself, so we have to go via a more obscure route.  See
       http://stackoverflow.com/a/27207433 and
       https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GTK%2B_By_Example/Tree_View/Events

       Function "p2v/gui.c:conversion_back_clicked"

        vcpus_or_memory_check_callback (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Display a warning if the vCPUs or memory is outside the supported range
       (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/823758).

       Function "p2v/gui.c:create_running_dialog"

        static void
        create_running_dialog (void)

       Create the running dialog.

       This creates the dialog, but it is not displayed.  See "show_running_dialog".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:show_running_dialog"

        static void
        show_running_dialog (void)

       Hide all other dialogs and show the running dialog.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:set_log_dir"

        static gboolean
        set_log_dir (gpointer user_data)

       Display the remote log directory in the running dialog.

       If this isn't called from the main thread, then you must only call it via an idle task
       ("g_idle_add").

       NB: This frees the remote_dir ("user_data" pointer) which was strdup'd in
       "notify_ui_callback".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:set_status"

        static gboolean
        set_status (gpointer user_data)

       Display the conversion status in the running dialog.

       If this isn't called from the main thread, then you must only call it via an idle task
       ("g_idle_add").

       NB: This frees the message ("user_data" pointer) which was strdup'd in
       "notify_ui_callback".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:add_v2v_output"

        static gboolean
        add_v2v_output (gpointer user_data)

       Append output from the virt-v2v process to the buffer, and scroll to ensure it is visible.

       This function is able to parse ANSI colour sequences and more.

       If this isn't called from the main thread, then you must only call it via an idle task
       ("g_idle_add").

       NB: This frees the message ("user_data" pointer) which was strdup'd in
       "notify_ui_callback".

       Function "p2v/gui.c:start_conversion_clicked"

        static void
        start_conversion_clicked (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       Callback when the "Start conversion" button is clicked.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:start_conversion_thread"

        static void *
        start_conversion_thread (void *data)

       This is the background thread which performs the conversion.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:conversion_error"

        static gboolean
        conversion_error (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "start_conversion_thread" (but run on the main thread) when there
       was an error during the conversion.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:conversion_finished"

        static gboolean
        conversion_finished (gpointer user_data)

       Idle task called from "start_conversion_thread" (but run on the main thread) when the
       conversion completed without errors.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:notify_ui_callback"

        static void
        notify_ui_callback (int type, const char *data)

       This is called from conversion.c:"start_conversion" when there is a status change or a log
       message.

       Function "p2v/gui.c:cancel_conversion_dialog"

        static void
        cancel_conversion_dialog (GtkWidget *w, gpointer data)

       This is called when the user clicks on the "Cancel conversion" button.  Since conversions
       can run for a long time, and cancelling the conversion is non-recoverable, this function
       displays a confirmation dialog before cancelling the conversion.

       File p2v/inhibit.c

       This file is used to inhibit power saving, sleep, suspend etc during the conversion.

       The method it uses is to send a D-Bus message to logind, as described here:

       https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit/

       If virt-p2v is compiled without D-Bus support then this does nothing.

       Function "p2v/inhibit.c:inhibit_power_saving"

        int
        inhibit_power_saving (void)

       Inhibit all forms of power saving.  A file descriptor is returned, and when the file
       descriptor is closed the inhibit is stopped.

       If the function returns "-1" then "Inhibit" operation could not be performed (eg. if we
       are compiled without D-Bus support, or there is some error contacting logind).  This is
       not usually fatal from the point of view of the caller, conversion can continue.

       File p2v/kernel-cmdline.c

       Mini library to read and parse "/proc/cmdline".

       Function "p2v/kernel-cmdline.c:parse_cmdline_string"

        char **
        parse_cmdline_string (const char *cmdline)

       Read and parse "/proc/cmdline".

       We only support double quoting, consistent with the Linux documentation.
       https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

       systemd supports single and double quoting and single character escaping, but we don't
       support all that.

       Returns a list of key, value pairs, terminated by "NULL".

       File p2v/kernel.c

       Kernel-driven, non-interactive configuration of virt-p2v.

       File p2v/main.c

       Function "p2v/main.c:partition_parent"

        static dev_t
        partition_parent (dev_t part_dev)

       Get parent device of a partition.

       Returns 0 if no parent device could be found.

       Function "p2v/main.c:device_contains"

        static int
        device_contains (const char *dev, dev_t root_device)

       Return true if the named device (eg. "dev == "sda"") contains the root filesystem.
       "root_device" is the major:minor of the root filesystem (eg. "8:1" if the root filesystem
       was /dev/sda1).

       This doesn't work for LVs and so on.  However we only really care if this test works on
       the P2V ISO where the root device is a regular partition.

       Function "p2v/main.c:find_all_disks"

        static void
        find_all_disks (void)

       Enumerate all disks in /sys/block and add them to the global "all_disks" and
       "all_removable" arrays.

       Function "p2v/main.c:find_all_interfaces"

        static void
        find_all_interfaces (void)

       Enumerate all network interfaces in /sys/class/net and add them to the global
       "all_interfaces" array.

       Function "p2v/main.c:cpuinfo_flags"

        static int
        cpuinfo_flags (void)

       Read the list of flags from /proc/cpuinfo.

       File p2v/nbd.c

       This file handles the virt-p2v --nbd command line option and running either qemu-nbd(8) or
       nbdkit(1).

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:set_nbd_option"

        void
        set_nbd_option (const char *opt)

       The main program calls this to set the --nbd option.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:test_nbd_servers"

        void
        test_nbd_servers (void)

       Test the --nbd option (or built-in default list) to see which servers are actually
       installed and appear to be working.

       Set the "use_server" global accordingly.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:start_nbd_server"

        pid_t
        start_nbd_server (const char **ipaddr, int *port, const char *device)

       Start the NBD server.

       We previously tested all NBD servers (see "test_nbd_servers") and hopefully found one
       which will work.

       Returns the process ID (> 0) or 0 if there is an error.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:socket_activation"

        static inline void
        socket_activation (int *fds, size_t nr_fds)

       Set up file descriptors and environment variables for socket activation.

       Note this function runs in the child between fork and exec.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:start_qemu_nbd"

        static pid_t
        start_qemu_nbd (const char *device,
                        const char *ipaddr, int port, int *fds, size_t nr_fds)

       Start a local qemu-nbd(1) process.

       If we are using socket activation, "fds" and "nr_fds" will contain the locally pre-opened
       file descriptors for this.  Otherwise if "fds == NULL" we pass the port number.

       Returns the process ID (> 0) or 0 if there is an error.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:start_nbdkit"

        static pid_t
        start_nbdkit (const char *device,
                      const char *ipaddr, int port, int *fds, size_t nr_fds)

       Start a local nbdkit(1) process using the nbdkit-file-plugin(1).

       If we are using socket activation, "fds" and "nr_fds" will contain the locally pre-opened
       file descriptors for this.  Otherwise if "fds == NULL" we pass the port number.

       Returns the process ID (> 0) or 0 if there is an error.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:get_local_port"

        static int
        get_local_port (void)

       This is used when we are starting an NBD server that does not support socket activation.
       We have to pass the '-p' option to the NBD server, but there's no good way to choose a
       free port, so we have to just guess.

       Returns the port number on success or "-1" on error.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:open_listening_socket"

        static int
        open_listening_socket (const char *ipaddr, int **fds, size_t *nr_fds)

       This is used when we are starting an NBD server which supports socket activation.  We can
       open a listening socket on an unused local port and return it.

       Returns the port number on success or "-1" on error.

       The file descriptor(s) bound are returned in the array *fds, *nr_fds.  The caller must
       free the array.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:wait_for_nbd_server_to_start"

        int
        wait_for_nbd_server_to_start (const char *ipaddr, int port)

       Wait for a local NBD server to start and be listening for connections.

       Function "p2v/nbd.c:connect_with_source_port"

        static int
        connect_with_source_port (const char *hostname, int dest_port, int source_port)

       Connect to "hostname:dest_port", resolving the address using getaddrinfo(3).

       This also sets the source port of the connection to the first free port number ≥
       "source_port".

       This may involve multiple connections - to IPv4 and IPv6 for instance.

       File p2v/ssh.c

       This file handles the ssh connections to the conversion server.

       virt-p2v will open several connections over the lifetime of the conversion process.

       In "test_connection", it will first open a connection (to check it is possible) and query
       virt-v2v on the server to ensure it exists, it is the right version, and so on.  This
       connection is then closed, because in the GUI case we don't want to deal with keeping it
       alive in case the administrator has set up an autologout.

       Once we start conversion, we will open a control connection to send the libvirt
       configuration data and to start up virt-v2v, and we will open up one data connection per
       local hard disk.  The data connection(s) have a reverse port forward to the local NBD
       server which is serving the content of that hard disk.  The remote port for each data
       connection is assigned by ssh.  See "open_data_connection" and "start_remote_conversion".

       Function "p2v/ssh.c:curl_download"

        static int
        curl_download (const char *url, const char *local_file)

       Download URL to local file using the external 'curl' command.

       Function "p2v/ssh.c:cache_ssh_identity"

        static int
        cache_ssh_identity (struct config *config)

       Re-cache the "config->identity_url" if needed.

       Function "p2v/ssh.c:start_ssh"

        static mexp_h *
        start_ssh (unsigned spawn_flags, struct config *config,
                   char **extra_args, int wait_prompt)

       Start ssh subprocess with the standard arguments and possibly some optional arguments.
       Also handles authentication.

       Function "p2v/ssh.c:scp_file"

        int
        scp_file (struct config *config, const char *localfile, const char *remotefile)

       Upload a file to remote using scp(1).

       This is a simplified version of "start_ssh" above.

       File p2v/utils.c

       Function "p2v/utils.c:get_blockdev_size"

        uint64_t
        get_blockdev_size (const char *dev)

       Return size of a block device, from /sys/block/dev/size.

       This function always succeeds, or else exits (since we expect "dev" to always be valid and
       the "size" file to always exist).

       Function "p2v/utils.c:get_blockdev_model"

        char *
        get_blockdev_model (const char *dev)

       Return model of a block device, from /sys/block/dev/device/model.

       Returns "NULL" if the file was not found.  The caller must free the returned string.

       Function "p2v/utils.c:get_blockdev_serial"

        char *
        get_blockdev_serial (const char *dev)

       Return the serial number of a block device.

       This is found using the lsblk command.

       Returns "NULL" if we could not get the serial number.  The caller must free the returned
       string.

       Function "p2v/utils.c:get_if_addr"

        char *
        get_if_addr (const char *if_name)

       Return contents of /sys/class/net/if_name/address (if found).

       Function "p2v/utils.c:get_if_vendor"

        char *
        get_if_vendor (const char *if_name, int truncate)

       Return contents of /sys/class/net/if_name/device/vendor (if found), mapped to the PCI
       vendor.  See:
       http://pjwelsh.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/howto-get-network-card-vendor-device-or.html

       Function "p2v/utils.c:wait_network_online"

        void
        wait_network_online (const struct config *config)

       Wait for the network to come online, but don't error out if that fails.  The caller will
       call "test_connection" immediately after this which will fail if the network didn't come
       online.

       File p2v/whole-file.c

       Function "p2v/whole-file.c:read_whole_file"

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

       Read the whole file into a memory buffer and return it.  The file should be a regular,
       local, trusted file.

   Subdirectory python
       File python/handle.c

       This file contains a small number of functions that are written by hand.  The majority of
       the bindings are generated (see python/actions-*.c).

   Subdirectory v2v
       File v2v/libvirt_utils-c.c

       This module implements various "virsh"-like commands, but with non-broken authentication
       handling.
