Also, while we are at it, beef it up, by adding json-seq support (i.e.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464). This is particularly useful in
conjunction with jq's --seq switch.
Let's fold get_user_creds_clean() into get_user_creds(), and introduce a
flags argument for it to select "clean" behaviour. This flags parameter
also learns to other new flags:
- USER_CREDS_SYNTHESIZE_FALLBACK: in this mode the user records for
root/nobody are only synthesized as fallback. Normally, the synthesized
records take precedence over what is in the user database. With this
flag set this is reversed, and the user database takes precedence, and
the synthesized records are only used if they are missing there. This
flag should be set in cases where doing NSS is deemed safe, and where
there's interest in knowing the correct shell, for example if the
admin changed root's shell to zsh or suchlike.
- USER_CREDS_ALLOW_MISSING: if set, and a UID/GID is specified by
numeric value, and there's no user/group record for it accept it
anyway. This allows us to fix#9767
This then also ports all users to set the most appropriate flags.
Fixes: #9767
[zj: remove one isempty() call]
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These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary.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.
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.
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 adds flags BUS_MAP_STRDUP and BUS_MAP_BOOLEAN_AS_BOOL.
If BUS_MAP_STRDUP is set, then each "s" message is duplicated.
If BUS_MAP_BOOLEAN_AS_BOOL is set, then each "b" message is
written to a bool pointer.
Follow-up for #8488.
See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8488#discussion_r175816270.
Even if pager_open() fails, in general, we should continue the operations.
All erroneous cases in pager_open() show log message in the function.
So, it is not necessary to check the returned value.
To maintain consistency with `loginctl user-status`, drop the fallback to
XDG_SESSION_ID for `loginctl enable-linger`. The fallback was unnecessary
and also incorrect: it passed the numeric value of the session identifier
as a UID value.
Let's hook up the sysfs tree output with the output flags logic,
already used when dumping log lines or process trees. This way we get
very similar output handling for line breaking/ellipsation in all three
outputs of structured data.
Fixes: #7095
loginctl, machinectl, systemctl all have very similar implementations of
a get_output_flags() functions. Simplify it by merging two lines that
set the same flag.
Instead of always letting logind guess what the caller's session is, let's
give it the value from $XDG_SESSION_ID when it is present in the caller's
environment.
Nowadays terminal emulators are often running as services under systemd --user,
and not as part of an actual session, so all loginctl calls which depend on
logind guessing the session will fail. I don't see a reason not to honour
$XDG_SESSION_ID.
This applies to LockSession, UnlockSession, TerminateSession, ActivateSession,
SetUserLinger.
Fixes#6032.
And then show it, to make things a bit friendlier to the user if we fail
acquiring some props.
In fact, this fixes a number of actual bugs, where we used an error
structure for output that we actually never got an error in.
sd-bus generally exposes bools as "int" instead of "bool" in the public API.
This is relevant when unmarshaling booleans, as the relevant functions expect
an int* pointer and no bool* pointer. Since sizeof(bool) is not necessarily the
same as sizeof(int) this is problematic and might result in memory corruption.
Let's fix this, and make sure bus_map_all_properties() handles booleans as
ints, as the rest of sd-bus, and make all users of it expect the right thing.
If "systemctl -H" is used, let's make sure we first terminate the bus
connection, and only then close the pager. If done in this order ssh will get
an EOF on stdin (as we speak D-Bus through ssh's stdin/stdout), and then
terminate. This makes sure the standard error we were invoked on is released by
ssh, and only that makes sure we don't deadlock on the pager which waits for
all clients closing its input pipe.
(Similar fixes for the various other xyzctl tools that support both pagers and
-H)
Fixes: #3543
This ports over machinectl and loginctl to also use the new GetProcesses() bus
call to show the process tree of a container or login session. This is similar
to how systemctl already has been ported over in a previous commit.
With this option, systemctl will only print the rhs in show:
$ systemctl show -p Wants,After systemd-journald --value
systemd-journald.socket ...
systemd-journald-dev-log.socket ...
This is useful in scripts, because the need to call awk or similar
is removed.
Many subsystems define own pager_open_if_enabled() function which
checks '--no-pager' command line argument and open pager depends
on its value. All implementations of pager_open_if_enabled() are
the same. Let's merger this function with pager_open() from the
shared/pager.c and remove pager_open_if_enabled() from all subsytems
to prevent code duplication.
... to determine if color output should be enabled. If the variable is not set,
fall back to using on_tty(). Also, rewrite existing code to use
colors_enabled() where appropriate.
