[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/3] Inspection code in C
These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple
operating system inspection in C.
Example of use:
<fs> add-ro rhel55.img
<fs> run
<fs> inspect-os
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
<fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
linux
<fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhel
<fs> inspect-get-arch /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
x86_64
<fs> inspect-get-major-version /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
5
<fs> inspect-get-minor-version /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
5
<fs> inspect-get-product-name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
<fs> inspect-get-filesystems /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
/dev/vda1
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
<fs> inspect-get-mountpoints /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00: /
/dev/vda1: /boot
I've tested this with all of my available guests. The only ones it
*doesn't* work on were a Fedora guest with an encrypted disk, and some
FreeBSD/PCBSD guests. For the encrypted guest, you have to open the
device first. We could probably get the *BSD guests working with some
effort.
Anyway I'm quite happy with this and I intend to push it if no one
objects.
Rich.
