If the whole call is simple and we don't need to look at the return value
apart from the conditional, let's use a form without assignment of the return
value. When the function call is more complicated, it still makes sense to
use a temporary variable.
This does the following:
- rename enum udev_builtin_cmd -> UdevBuiltinCmd
- rename struct udev_builtin -> UdevBuiltin
- move type definitions to udev-rules.h
- move prototypes of functions defined in udev-rules.c to udev-rules.h
- drop to use strbuf
- propagate critical errors in applying rules,
- drop limitation for number of tokens per line.
We can't use the per-thread default one here, as it might already be
running (for example, that's the case in portabled), and our event loops
are not recursive, hence running them a second time is not OK.
The function interface is the same, except that the output pointer may be NULL.
The implementation is slightly simplified by taking advantage of changes in
ancestor commit 'sd-device: attempt to read db again if it wasn't found', by
not creating a new sd_device object before re-checking the is_initialized
status.
v2:
- In v1, the old object was always used and the device received back from the
sd_device_monitor_start callback was ignored. I *think* the result will be
equivalent in both cases, because by the time we the callback gets called,
the db entry in the filesystem will also exist, and any subsequent access to
properties of the object would trigger a read of the database from disk. But
I'm not certain, and anyway, using the device object received in the callback
seems cleaner.
Now that we don't (mis-)use the env file parser to parse kernel command
lines there's no need anymore to override the used newline character
set. Let's hence drop the argument and just "\n\r" always. This nicely
simplifies our code.
Rebooting to set change the kernel command line to set some udev parameters is
inconvenient. Let's allow setting more stuff in the config file.
Also drop quotes from around "info" in udev.conf. We need to accept them for
compatibility, but there is no reason to use them.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Most our other parsing functions do this, let's do this here too,
internally we accept that anyway. Also, the closely related
load_env_file() and load_env_file_pairs() also do this, so let's be
systematic.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This function is internal to systemd code, so external users of libudev
will not see those log messages. I think this is better. If we want to
allow that, the function could be put in libudev and exported.
v2: check that the string is more than one char before stripping quotes
