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.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
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 allows selecting the propagation level of emitted LLDP packets
(specifically: the destination MAC address of the packets). This is useful
because it allows generating LLDP packets that optionally cross certain types
of bridges.
See 802.11ab-2009, Table 7-1 for details.
Header files were organized in a way where the includer would add various
typedefs used by the includee before including it, resulting in a tangled
web of dependencies between files.
Replace this with the following logic:
networkd.h
/ \
networkd-link.h \
networkd-ipv4ll.h--\__\
networkd-fdb.h \
networkd-network.h netword-netdev-*.h
networkd-route.h \
networkd-netdev.h
If a pointer to a structure defined in a different header file is needed,
use a typedef line instead of including the whole header.
LLDP_TX_HOLD or one of the other variables might be changed in the future
resulting in a silent error here if the if was just removed.
Replacement for #2983.
lldp.h contains definitions of LLDP types, subtypes and capabilities which
should be exposed in public headers. Get rid of the file and move those
definitions to sd-lldp.h with the SD_ prefix.
Let's add some minimalistic LLDP sender support. The idea is that this is
either on or off, and all fields determined automatically rather than
configured explicitly.
