This commit extends $SYSTEMD_COLORS to an enum variable (compared to
a simple boolean) which specifies the "colors mode". This means that, in
addition to disabling colors altogether, it's now possible to restrict
the console output to 16 or 256 colors only.
We would add and remove definitions based on which colors were used by other
code. Let's just define all of them to simplify tests and allow easy comparisons
which colors look good.
non-underlined yellow uses RGB ANSI sequences while the underlined
version uses the paletted ANSI sequences. Let's unify that and use the
RGB sequence for both cases, so that underlined or not doesn't alter the
color.
Allocating a pty is done in a couple of places so let's introduce a new helper
which does the job.
Also the new function, as well as openpt_in_namespace(), returns both pty
master and slave so the callers don't need to know about the pty slave
allocation details.
For the same reasons machine_openpt() prototype has also been changed to return
both pty master and slave so callers don't need to allocate a pty slave which
might be in a different namespace.
Finally openpt_in_namespace() has been renamed into
openpt_allocate_in_namespace().
Only changing ownership back to root is not enough we also need to
change the access mode, otherwise the user might have set 666 first, and
thus allow everyone access before and after the chown().
Previously used "highlight yellow" was not visible on urxvt, because it
was too light. This color is shown as bold black by urxvt, but at least
it is readable. On other terminals it is shown as various hues of yellow,
pleasant on the eyes and not too bright. The color shown on linux console
could be called orange rather than yellow, but it is still readable.
(I also tried non-highlight "yellow", but it is not as readable.)
This is a follow-up for bb40c12569.
We don#t actually use all combinations, but it's kinda nice if we can
output all combinations in a test, and this is preparation so that we
can do so nicely.
three of these colors we never use, so let's drop them. Let's however
add a highlight version of grey, so that at least for all colors we do
define we have all possible styles defined.
Apparently all relevant terminals implement these sequences, including
the Linux kernel, rxvt, xterm, and of course gnome terminal. Hence it
should be OK to use them, and fixate the grey color in a way that maps
to the same color in all terminals.
Ideally we'd stick to the more symbolic colors that allow terminal
emulators to implement color styles, but this apparently doesn#t work,
since rxvt maps grey to something unreadable by default.
Note that this change has negative effects besides the non-themability
of the palette: the midrange grey this uses maps to regular white on the
linux console. However, that's probably not too bad: allowing things to
be unreadable on some terminals is probably worse than showing no color
on some terminals.
Fixes: #12482
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.
Let's always write "1 << 0", "1 << 1" and so on, except where we need
more than 31 flag bits, where we write "UINT64(1) << 0", and so on to force
64bit values.
This is used as 'systemd-analyze show-config systemd/logind.conf', which
will dump
/etc/systemd/system/user@.service
/etc/systemd/system/user@.service.d/*.conf
/run/systemd/system/user@.service.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/systemd/system/user@.service.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/systemd/system/user@.service.d/*.conf
The idea is to make it easy to dump the configuration using the same locations
and order that systemd programs use themselves (including masking, in the right
order, etc.). This is the generic variant that works with any configuration
scheme that follows the same general rules:
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/system.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/user.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/sleep.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journald.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journal-remote.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/journal-upload.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/coredump.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/resolved.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/timesyncd.conf
$ systemd-analyze cat-config udev/udev.conf
Newer terminals (in particular gnome-terminal) understand special escape
sequence for formatting clickable links. Let's support that to make our
tool output more clickable where that's appropriate.

The one big issue is that 'less' currently doesn't grok this, and
doesn't ignore sequence like regular terminal implementations do if they
don't support it. Hence for now, let's disable URL output if a pager is
used. We should revisit that though as soon as less added support for it
and enough time passed for it to enter various distributions.
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.
ISO C does not allow empty statements outside of functions, and gcc
will warn the trailing semicolons when compiling with -pedantic:
warning: ISO C does not allow extra ‘;’ outside of a function [-Wpedantic]
But our code cannot compile with -pedantic anyway, at least because
warning: ISO C does not support ‘__PRETTY_FUNCTION__’ predefined identifier [-Wpedantic]
Without -pedatnic, clang and even old gcc (3.4) generate no warnings about
those semicolons, so let's just drop __useless_struct_to_allow_trailing_semicolon__.
Let's forget all relevant terminal features we learnt when we make a
console or /dev/null stdin/stdout/stderr.
Also, while we are at it, let's drop the various _unlikely_ and
_likely_ annotiations around the terminal feature caches. In many cases
we call the relevant functions only once in which cases the annotations
are likely to do just harm and no good. After all we can't know if the
specific code will call us just once or many times...
This modernizes acquire_terminal() in a couple of ways:
1. The three boolean arguments are replaced by a flags parameter, that
should be more descriptive in what it does.
2. We now properly handle inotify queue overruns
3. We use _cleanup_ for closing the fds now, to shorten the code quite a
bit.
Behaviour should not be altered by this.
but also on all other consoles. This does help on e.g. mainframes
where often a serial console together with other consoles are
used. Even rack based servers attachted to both a serial console
as well as having a virtual console do sometimes miss a connected
monitor.
To be able to ask on all terminal devices of /dev/console the devices
are collected. If more than one device are found, then on each of the
terminals a inquiring task for passphrase is forked and do not return
to the caller.
Every task has its own session and its own controlling terminal.
If one of the tasks does handle a password, the remaining tasks
will be terminated.
Also let contradictory options on the command of
systemd-tty-ask-password-agent fail.
Spwan for each device of the system console /dev/console a own process.
Replace the system call wait() with with system call waitid().
Use SIGTERM instead of SIGHUP to get unresponsive childs down.
Port the collect_consoles() function forward to a pulbic and strv
based function "get_kernel_consoles()" in terminal-util.c and use this
in tty-ask-password-agent.c.
