Hi David,
Any updates?
If you're busy on these fix, I could fix these problem and send a new
version.
I was about to add the series to merge but the output format needs work.
At minimum, something that's parseable, so some commonly used format
(yaml or json). The current way is ok for quick overview, but I'd really
like to see more options of the output. The malloc/free problems are
minor.
Thanks for the comment.
It makes sense. And it can be the first step to make all btrfs commands
output parseable.
I could try to use json-c as our json library to add json output mode
for send dump.
Meanwhile the original design for send-dump is only for human, and the
json output support will be a huge work(not only for send-dump, but
quite a lot of other sub-commands).
What about merge send dump first, and then add json support step-by-step?
Ok, so let's do it in another way.
The output format:
* one line per stream operation
* use key=value for all operation data
* file paths are unquoted, but escaped (same what seq_escape(" \t\n\\") does)
* two options where to put the filename, first or last, let's keep it
first for now, we can move it later on,
for multiple paths per operation, one of them will be just anoter
key=value with descriptive key name
Code changes:
* fold my two patches from branch dev/send-dump-wip
* the common block at the beginniing of each callback can be factored
into a macro (ie. full_path, ret, and path_cat with the name of the
operation)
We'll also need some stream samples that trigger all operations so we
can tune the output.
This sounds quite good to me.
I'll update the patchset.
I'm just a little curious about the stream samples.
Should I create a send-dump-test to include all these samples? Or put
them somewhere else?
Thanks,
Qu
