[libvirt] [PATCH V3 0/8] virsh: rework command parsing
Old virsh command parsing mashes all the args back into a string and miss the quotes, this patches fix it. It is also needed for introducing qemu-monitor-command which is very useful. This patches add vrshCommandParser abstraction to parser the args. For command string, we use vshCommandStringParse() For command argument vector, we use vshCommandArgvParse() And the usage was changed: old: virsh [options] [commands] new: virsh [options]... [command_string] virsh [options]... command [args...] So we still support commands like: # virsh define D.xml; dumpxml D define D.xml; dumpxml D was parsed as a commands-string. and support commands like: # virsh qemu-monitor-command f13guest info cpus we will not mash them into a string, we use new argv parser for it. But we don't support the command like: # virsh define D.xml; dumpxml D define D.xml; dumpxml was parsed as a command-name, but we have no such command-name. Misc changed behavior: 1) support single quote 2) support escape '\' 3) a better double quoting support, the following commands are now supported: virsh # dumpxml --update-cpu vm1 virsh # dumpxml --update-cpu vm1 4) better handling the boolean options, in old code the following commands are equivalent: virsh # dumpxml --update-cpu=vm1 virsh # dumpxml --update-cpu vm1 after this patch applied, the first one will become illegal. 5) support -- The idea of this patch is from Daniel P. Berrange. changed from V1: changed the usage as Eric Blake suggested. changed from V2 new vrshCommandParser abstraction apply Eric Blake's comments.

It will make reviews easier. However, in the future, you should try and convince 'git send-email' or whatever mechanism you use to send patches to do shallow threading (all 8 of the n/8 patches should be in-reply-to the 0/8 cover letter), as it makes reviewing easier when the series is a single thread. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

Now that I've done a bit more research; here's the results, to make it easier for others to do: git config sendemail.chainreplyto false git config sendemail.thread false git config format.thread shallow Then: git send-email -8 --cover-letter will automatically send 8 messages all in reply to the cover letter, creating a single thread. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com+1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

Odd that it should require any configuring - mine has just always worked that way when I do, eg: git send-email -8 --compose (I hadn't seen --cover-letter before. The man page for git-send-email only lists --compose, and I see the man page for git-format-patch only lists --cover-letter, but git send-email accepts both; I assume they're synonyms) -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
