Similarly to how users can can force ANSI colorization with
"--colors"
even when stdout / stderr are redirected to a non-tty, allow them to force
wrapping with "--wrap".

Notes:
- This patch will require documentation updates for the following
guestfs-tools utilities (those that already document "--colours"):
builder/virt-builder-repository.pod
builder/virt-builder.pod
customize/virt-customize.pod
dib/virt-dib.pod
get-kernel/virt-get-kernel.pod
resize/virt-resize.pod
sparsify/virt-sparsify.pod
sysprep/virt-sysprep.pod
Virt-v2v as well:
docs/virt-v2v.pod
This is evident e.g. from "test-virt-customize-docs.sh" failing in
guestfs-tools, and "test-v2v-docs.sh" failing in virt-v2v.
If this patch is accepted, I intend to post such guestfs-tools and
virt-v2v patches that atomically bump the submodule reference and
update the documentation.
- Some utilities in libguestfs already use the short "-w" option
(guestfish, guestmount, virt-rescue); however, those utilities do not
document "--colours", so they already don't make a TTY-based
distinction, and will not see the new short "-w" option.
Yes, this is awkward.
Do we have to have the short version? I'd really like to not burn
through useful-looking single letter options such as -w -- even if not
currently used in all tools -- for a pretty obscure feature that about
0.0001% of people are going to care about. And as you say guestfish
establishes a clear precedence for this option meaning "writable".
- Easily testable e.g. with virt-resize:
$ guestfish -N fs:ext4 exit
$ truncate -s 2G test1.resized.img
$ virt-resize --expand /dev/sda1 test1.img test1.resized.img
$ virt-resize -w --expand /dev/sda1 test1.img test1.resized.img
$ virt-resize --expand /dev/sda1 test1.img test1.resized.img > log1
$ virt-resize -w --expand /dev/sda1 test1.img test1.resized.img > log2
$ cat log1
$ cat log2

Reviewed-by: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com>
You might as well push the docs & submodule updates in the other tools
without review.
Thanks,
Rich.
