Here we truncate our input strings from the environment to our
defined limit. It's a bit theroretical but better check for it.
It cleans up some magic length definitions and removes the code
duplication in udev, udevtest and udevsend.
udevd needs to be killed after installation, cause the message size
is changed with this patch.
Should we do this with the 'make install', like we do with the '.udevdb'?
As promised, here is the next round. We provide in addition to the
already used macros:
strfieldcpy(to, from)
strfieldcat(to, from)
the corresponding friends, if the size of the target is not known and
must be provided by the caller:
strnfieldcpy(to, from, maxsize)
strnfieldcat(to, from, maxsize)
and switch nearly all possibly unsafe users of strcat(), strncat(),
strcpy() and strncpy() to these safer macros.
The last known remaining issue seems the use of sprintf() and
snprintf(). I will take on it later today or tomorrow.

Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.
Here we change the magic callout part number selector to the new
atribute syntax. The syntax to select the second part of the callout string:
'%2c' is now '%c{2}'
I think it's more clear and we no longer misuse the length argument.
The old syntax is still supported, but we should remove it some
time in the future.
Here is the first try to create all partitons of a blockdevice, since
removable media devices may need to acces the expected partition to
revalidate the media.
It uses the attribute syntax introduced with the last %s{file} patch.
I'm using this with my multi-slot-flash-card-reader:
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-SMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="smartmedia"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-CFC ", NAME{all_partitions}="compactflash"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MSC ", NAME{all_partitions}="memorystick"
SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="multimedia"
and I get:
tree /udev/
/udev/

|-- memorystick11
|-- memorystick12

...
If needed, we can make the number of partions to create
adjustable with the attribute?

I took a part of the code and made a version that uses already implemented
attribute finding logic.
The parsing of the format length '%3x' and the '%x{attribute}' is a fuction now,
maybe there are more possible users in the future.
I've also added the test to udev-test.pl.
Allow wild card comparison of the ID.
Using strcmp_pattern here also means we on longer match partial values,
for example, a scsi rule like this won't match anymore:
BUS="scsi", ID=":0", NAME="sdfoo-short-bus_id-1"
But this now works:
BUS="scsi", ID="*:0", NAME="sdfoo-bus_id-wild-card-1"
Kill the extra bus_id check in match_id. This is wrong, especially since
we check for rule matches with the parent devices on a given devices path.
For example, given a device path of:
/sys/devices/pci0000:01/0000:01:0c.0/host5/5:0:2:0
With this patch, the following rule will no longer match:
BUS="scsi", ID="host5", NAME="sd-bus_id-host5"

Sure, it's perfectly correct. I'm wondering how Adrian found this.
We can use the return 1 at the end of the whole function, and asking
for the closing ']' is more descriptive, but it does the same.
- return strcmp_pattern(p+1, s+1);
+ if (*p == ']')
+ return strcmp_pattern(p+1, s+1);
Patch is attached, that also replaces all the *s with s[0].
I've edited the man page today, so this is alreay included :)
Also a few more trivials:
o added the defaults to udev.conf.in
o removed class_dev from get_default_mode(), to match with Hanna's
o changed size of mode_str to MODE_SIZE
o changed a few char compares from from 0x00 to '\0'
This patch fixes a bug where the udev database stored empty strings
for Owner and Group if they were default. This patch stores the default
value into the database if not set otherwise. See example output:
crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Jan 16 11:13 ttyS1
P: /class/tty/ttyS1
N: ttyS1
S:
O: root
G: root
This is a bit of a hack. However, until udev supports setting the
o/g values they will be root/root anyway so the database might as
well reflect the truth instead of empty strings.

Here is a slightly better version. I've created a logging.h file and
moved the debug macros from udev.h in there.
If you type:
'make' - you will get a binary that prints one or two lines to syslog
if a device node is created or deleted
'make LOG=false' - you get a binary that prints asolutely nothing
'make DEBUG=true' - the same as today, it will print all debug lines
This patch adds a '%' to the format char list, so that a external
program may called with a non expanded '%' like:
PROGRAM="/bin/date +%%s"
Olaf Hering asked for the feature.
A tricky test is also added :)

Here is a slightly better version of the patch.
After a conversation with Patrick, we are now able to execute the PROGRAM
and also match in all following rules with the RESULT value from this exec.
EXAMPLE:
We have 7 rules with RESULT and 2 with PROGRAM.
Only the 5th rule matches with the callout result from the exec in the 4th rule.
RULES:
PROGRAM="/bin/echo abc", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-2"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-3"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-4"
PROGRAM="/bin/echo 123", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-5"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-yes"
RESULT:

Yes, I can try.
There was no way to tell not to do anything so I created one. Errors
are signalled via negative return values, so I thought that a positive,
non-zero one could mean to ignore the device. I don't like it but
perhaps you have a better solution.
my syslog want's to contact you :)
Dec 25 20:37:48 pim udev[2274]: wait_for_device_to_initialize: Did not find bus type 'ide' on list of bus_id_files, contact greg@kroah.com
We need to put 'ide' to the bus_files array,
don't know which file to use...
Now we only sleep if we can't find the device file, and we have
a hack to sleep for 1 second if we are on a partition. This will be
removed when the libsysfs change gets made...
Attached is a patch that introduces the format char 'k' to be replaced with
the kernel name. I like to have it in a callout script.
I've moved the build_kernel_name() back to namedev_name_device() since
we don't expect it growing cause of 'sdaj' :)
Try this patch if you like, to get special parts of the callout output.
This beast works now:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
The callout returned string is separated by spaces and is
addressed by the "len" value of the 'c' format char.
Since we support symlinks, this my be useful for other uses of callout too.
introduce 'len number' for format chars
the first use is 'c'-the callout return to select a part of the output string like:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
(note: first part is requested by len=1, len=0 will return the whole string)
add a test to udev-test.pl
