We would print the error sometimes to stdout and sometimes to stderr. It *is*
useful to get the message if one of the names is not found on the bus to
stdout, so that this shows out in the pager. So let's do verification of args
early to catch invalid arguments, and then if we receive an error over the bus
(most likely that the name is not activatable), let's print to stdout so it
gets paged. E.g. 'busctl tree org.freedesktop.systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd2'
gives a nicely usable output.
Each of bus_set_address_{user,system} had two users, and each of the two users
would set the internal flag manually. We should do that internally in the
functions instead.
While at it, only set the flag when setting the address is actually successful.
This doesn't change anything for current users, but it seems more correct.
If we're using a set with _put_strdup(), most of the time we want to use
string hash ops on the set, and free the strings when done. This defines
the appropriate a new string_hash_ops_free structure to automatically free
the keys when removing the set, and makes set_put_strdup() and set_put_strdupv()
instantiate the set with those hash ops.
hashmap_put_strdup() was already doing something similar.
(It is OK to instantiate the set earlier, possibly with a different hash ops
structure. set_put_strdup() will then use the existing set. It is also OK
to call set_free_free() instead of set_free() on a set with
string_hash_ops_free, the effect is the same, we're just overriding the
override of the cleanup function.)
No functional change intended.
A warning is emitted from sd_bus_message_{get,set}_priority. Those functions
are exposed by pystemd, so we have no easy way of checking if anything is
calling them.
Just making the functions always return without doing anything would be an
option, but then we could leave the caller with an undefined variable. So I
think it's better to make the functions emit a warnings and return priority=0
in the get operation.
The enum used for column names is integer type while table_set_display() is parsing
arguments on size_t alignment which may result in assert in table_set_display() if
the size between types missmatch. This patch cast the enums to size_t.
It also fixes all other occurences for table_set_display() and
table_set_sort().

An alternative solution would be to change the table_set_display() function
arguments to unsigned type.
This cleans up and unifies the outut of --help texts a bit:
1. Highlight the human friendly description string, not the command
line via ANSI sequences. Previously both this description string and
the brief command line summary was marked with the same ANSI
highlight sequence, but given we auto-page to less and less does not
honour multi-line highlights only the command line summary was
affectively highlighted. Rationale: for highlighting the description
instead of the command line: the command line summary is relatively
boring, and mostly the same for out tools, the description on the
other hand is pregnant, important and captions the whole thing and
hence deserves highlighting.
2. Always suffix "Options" with ":" in the help text
3. Rename "Flags" → "Options" in one case
4. Move commands to the top in a few cases
5. add coloring to many more help pages
6. Unify on COMMAND instead of {COMMAND} in the command line summary.
Some tools did it one way, others the other way. I am not sure what
precisely {} is supposed to mean, that uppercasing doesn't, hence
let's simplify and stick to the {}-less syntax
And minor other tweaks.
For executables which take a verb, we should list the verbs first, and
then options which modify those verbs second. The general layout of
the man page is from general description to specific details, usually
Overview, Commands, Options, Return Value, Examples, References.
The message we get from the bus can be pretty bare-bones, and the user might be
confused which operation failed. Since we don't control the other side, let's
prefix the remote message with an informative prefix.
When emitting the calendarspec warning we want to see some color.
Follow-up for 04220fda5c.
Exceptions:
- systemctl, because it has a lot hand-crafted coloring
- tmpfiles, sysusers, stdio-bridge, etc, because they are also used in
services and I'm not sure if this wouldn't mess up something.
This wraps the call to org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect.
Using "busctl call" directly is inconvenient because busctl escapes the
string before printing.
Example:
$ busctl introspect --xml org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 | pygmentize -lxml | less -RF
This doesn't really change much, but feels more correct to do, as it
ensures that all messages currently queued in the bus connections are
definitely unreffed and thus destryoing of the connection object will
follow immediately.
Strictly speaking this change is entirely unnecessary, since nothing
else could have acquired a ref to the connection and queued a message
in, however, now that we have the new sd_bus_close_unref() helper it
makes a lot of sense to use it here, to ensure that whatever happens
nothing that might have been queued fucks with us.
This has been irritating me for quite a while: let's prefix these enum
values with a common prefix, like we do for almost all other enums.
No change in behaviour, just some renaming.
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
Pretty much everything uses just the first argument, and this doesn't make this
common pattern more complicated, but makes it simpler to pass multiple options.
A new switch "-j" or "--json=" is added which transforms dbus
marshalling into json. This is extremely useful in combination with
tools such as "jq" to process bus calls further.
Several functions are shared by qsort and hash_ops or Prioq.
This makes these functions explicitly specify argument type,
and cast to __compar_fn_t where necessary.
This is a bit like the info link in most of GNU's --help texts, but we
don't do info but man pages, and we make them properly clickable on
terminal supporting that, because awesome.
I think it's generally advisable to link up our (brief) --help texts and
our (more comprehensive) man pages a bit, so this should be an easy and
straight-forward way to do it.
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.
