There are more than enough calls doing string manipulations to deserve
its own files, hence do something about it.
This patch also sorts the #include blocks of all files that needed to be
updated, according to the sorting suggestions from CODING_STYLE. Since
pretty much every file needs our string manipulation functions this
effectively means that most files have sorted #include blocks now.
Also touches a few unrelated include files.
off_t is a really weird type as it is usually 64bit these days (at least
in sane programs), but could theoretically be 32bit. We don't support
off_t as 32bit builds though, but still constantly deal with safely
converting from off_t to other types and back for no point.
Hence, never use the type anymore. Always use uint64_t instead. This has
various benefits, including that we can expose these values directly as
D-Bus properties, and also that the values parse the same in all cases.
This is for shell-style \ escaping rather than quoting, which while it
has the same effect in produced shell commands, is not exclusively
useful for shell commands.
shell_escape would be useful for producing sed commands, as you would be
able to \ escape the normal special characters, plus whichever argument
separator was chosen; or it could be used to escape arguments passed to
the overlayfs mount command.
If EXTRACT_DONT_COALESCE_SEPARATORS is passed, then leading separators,
trailing separators and spans of multiple separators aren't skipped, and
empty arguments from before, after or between separators may be extracted.
This is so that, when called in a loop, unquote_first_word can
distinguish between reaching the end of a string because it has consumed
all the input before the end, and consuming all the input.
This is important because we later add a flag that allows
char *in = "";
char *out;
unquote_first_word(&in, &out, flags);
To put "" in out, and set in = NULL, so the trailing empty string of the
input can be consumed, and mark that the input has been consumed.
Tests are modified to check behaviour with relax and without relax.
New tests are added for hostname_cleanup().
Tests are moved a new file (test-hostname-util) because there's
now a bunch of them.
New parameter is not used anywhere, except in tests, so there should
be no observable change.
In member_compare_func(), it compares interface, type and name of
members. But as it can contain NULL pointer, it needs to check them
before calling strcmp(). So make it as a separate strcmp_ptr
function (named after streq_ptr) so that it can be used by others.
Also let streq_ptr() to use it in order to make the code simpler.
We were ignoring failures from unhexchar, which meant that invalid
hex characters were being turned into garbage rather than the string
rejected.
Fix this by making unhexmem return an error code, also change the API
slightly, to return the size of the returned memory, reflecting the
fact that the memory is a binary blob,and not a string.
For convenience, still append a trailing NULL byte to the returned
memory (not included in the returned size), allowing callers to
treat it as a string without doing a second copy.
Merge write_string_file(), write_string_file_no_create() and
write_string_file_atomic() into write_string_file() and provide a flags mask
that allows combinations of atomic writing, newline appending and automatic
file creation. Change all users accordingly.
It will try to unquot_first_word, but if it runs into escaping problems
it will retry it adding UNQUOTE_CUNESCAPE_RELAX to the flags. If it
succeeds on the second try, it will log a warning about it. If it fails
both times, it will log an error.
Add test cases to confirm it behaves as expected.
The new flag UNQUOTE_UNESCAPE_RELAX preserves unrecognized escape
sequences verbatim in unquote_first_word, either when it's a trailing
backslash (similar to UNQUOTE_RELAX, but in this case keep the extra
backslash in the output) or in the middle of a sequence string.
Add unit test cases to ensure the new flag works as expected and to
prevent regressions from being introduced.
Tested with a follow up commit converting config_parse_exec() to start
using unquote_first_word, in which case this flags makes it possible to
preserve unrecognized escape sequences.

This adds a "char *extra" parameter to tempfn_xxxxxx(), tempfn_random(),
tempfn_ranomd_child(). If non-NULL this string is included in the middle
of the newly created file name. This is useful for being able to
distuingish the kind of temporary file when we see one.
This also adds tests for the three call.
For now, we don't make use of this at all, but port all users over.
Fix a regression caused by 4034a06d ("util: rework word parsing and c
unescaping code") which broke octal escape sequences.
The reason for this breakage is that cunescape_one() expects 4 characters
in an octal encoding, which is a stray left-over from the old code which
operated on different variables to make the length check.
While at it, add a test case to prevent the same thing from happening
again.
The hostname(1) tool allows comments in /etc/hostname. Introduce a new
read_hostname_config() in hostname-util which reads a hostname configuration
file like /etc/hostname, strips out comments, whitespace, and cleans the
hostname. Use it in hostname-setup.c and hostnamed and remove duplicated code.
Update hostname manpage. Add tests.
