Instead of the wrapper functions the color defines where used directly.
This was especially a problem for ANSI_HIGHLIGHT_YELLOW which is not
legible at all for light themes such as solarized. The 16 color palette
fallback can be set to a sane yellow or orange on that matter but it was
not used though `SYSTEMD_COLORS=16` was set.
Use the proper wrapper functions and let the right color be selected the
way other components do it already.
We often used a pattern like if (!FLAGS_SET(flags, SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF)),
which is rather verbose and also contains a double negative, which we try
to avoid. Add a little helper to avoid an explicit bit check.
This change clarifies an aditional thing: in some cases we treated
SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF as a flag (flags & SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF), while in other cases
we treated it as an independent enum value (flags == SD_JSON_FORMAT_OFF).
In the first form, flags like SD_JSON_FORMAT_SSE do _not_ turn the json
output on, while in the second form they do. Let's use the first form
everywhere.
No functional change intended.
Initially I wasn't sure if this helper should be made public or just internal,
but it seems such a common pattern that if we expose the flags, we might just
as well expose it too, to make life easier for any consumers.
This is preparation for making our Varlink API a public API. Since our
Varlink API is built on top of our JSON API we need to make that public
first (it's a nice API, but JSON APIs there are already enough, this is
purely about the Varlink angle).
I made most of the json.h APIs public, and just placed them in
sd-json.h. Sometimes I wasn't so sure however, since the underlying data
structures would have to be made public too. If in doubt I didn#t risk
it, and moved the relevant API to src/libsystemd/sd-json/json-util.h
instead (without any sd_* symbol prefixes).
This is mostly a giant search/replace patch.
Old versions of hostnamed used to propagate ENODEV/ENOENT as-is. Bad
idea. This was fixed in 171ddae1a1, but
let's handle this gracefully in hostnamectl.
We already support -j as shortcut for JSON mode in various tools. Let's
add one more. We probably should add this systematically (at least where
it doesn't conflict with an existing -j switch with other purpose). But
I am too lazy to add that now.
This converts the date into a relative timespan from the current time
on, and outputs it. It marks it yellow if older than two years, since
old firmware is probably a security risk. We don't make it red, since we
don't know though.
In various tools and services we have a per-system and per-user concept.
So far we sometimes used a boolean indicating whether we are in system
mode, or a reversed boolean indicating whether we are in user mode, or
the LookupScope enum used by the lookup path logic.
Let's address that, in introduce a common enum for this, we can use all
across the board.
This is mostly just search/replace, no actual code changes.
All users were setting this to some static string (usually "-"), so let's
simplify things by not doing strdup, but instead limiting callers to a fixed
set of values. In preparation for the next commit, the function is renamed from
"empty" to "replacement", because it'll be used for more than empty fields. I
didn't do the whole string-table setup, because it's all used internally in one
file and this way we can immediately assert if an invalid value is passed in.
Some callers were (void)ing the error, others were ignoring it, and others
propagating. It's nicer to remove the boilerplate.
The idea is to be able to distinguish whether we're in a VM/container or something
more substantial at a glance.
Chassis: laptop 💻
Chassis: tablet 具
Chassis: vm 🖴
Chassis: server 🖳
Chassis: handset 🕻
Chassis: watch ⌚
Chassis: desktop 🖥
Chassis: container ☐
(Or when -H is used, since -H and -M are incompatible.)
Note that the slightly unusual form with separate boolean variables (hint_vars,
hint_addr) instead of e.g. a const char* variable to hold the message, because this
way we don't trigger the warning about non-literal format.
In general we almost never hit those asserts in production code, so users see
them very rarely, if ever. But either way, we just need something that users
can pass to the developers.
We have quite a few of those asserts, and some have fairly nice messages, but
many are like "WTF?" or "???" or "unexpected something". The error that is
printed includes the file location, and function name. In almost all functions
there's at most one assert, so the function name alone is enough to identify
the failure for a developer. So we don't get much extra from the message, and
we might just as well drop them.
Dropping them makes our code a tiny bit smaller, and most importantly, improves
development experience by making it easy to insert such an assert in the code
without thinking how to phrase the argument.
If no target (--pretty, --static, or --transient) is specified, then
let's try to set transient hostname even if setting static or pretty
hostname failed. This may be useful for read-only filesystem.
I think this formatting was originally used because it simplified
adding new options to the help messages. However, these days, most
tools their help message end with "\nSee the %s for details.\n" so
the final line almost never has to be edited which eliminates the
benefit of the custom formatting used for printf() help messages.
Let's make things more consistent and use the same formatting for
printf() help messages that we use everywhere else.

Let's clean up hostname_is_valid() a bit: let's turn the second boolean
argument into a more explanatory flags field, and add a flag that
accepts the special name ".host" as valid. This is useful for the
container logic, where the special hostname ".host" refers to the "root
container", i.e. the host system itself, and can be specified at various
places.
let's also get rid of machine_name_is_valid(). It was just an alias,
which is confusing and even more so now that we have the flags param.
Like it's customary in our codebase bus_error_message() internally takes
abs() of the passed error anyway, hence no need to explicitly negate it.
We mostly got this right, but in too many cases we didn't. Fix that.
