It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
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These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
Double newlines (i.e. one empty lines) are great to structure code. But
let's avoid triple newlines (i.e. two empty lines), quadruple newlines,
quintuple newlines, …, that's just spurious whitespace.
It's an easy way to drop 121 lines of code, and keeps the coding style
of our sources a bit tigther.
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.
First of all, let's rename it to read_etc_hostname(), to make clearer
what kind of configuration it actually reads: the file format defined in
/etc/hostname and nothing else.
Secondly: let's port this to use read_line(), i.e. the new way to read
lines from a file in a safe, bounded way.
Thirdly: let's strip leading/trailing whitespace from what we are
reading. Given that we are already pretty lenient what we read (comments
and empty lines), let's be permissive regarding whitespace too.
Fourthly: let's actually validate the hostname when reading it. So far
we tried to make it valid, but that's not always possible (for example,
we can't make an empty hostname valid, ever).
Detect the 'Detachable' dmi chassis type properly. Use the new
'convertible' chassis class of hostnamed, instead of returning the
generic 'computer' chassis class.

Based on a patch by Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>.
Add the 'convertible' type to the set of allowed chassis. This applies
to all devices that can be transformed by the user from laptop style to
tablet style.
This does not add any auto-detection, yet. It only makes 'set-chassis'
accept 'convertible' as valid input.
errno value is not protected (it is undefined after this function returns).
Various mhd_* functions are not documented to protect errno, so this could not
guaranteed anyway.
