Modified files:
usr.sbin/vmmctl: Makefile main.c parse.y parser.h vmm.conf.5
vmmctl.8 vmmctl.c
Removed files:
usr.sbin/vmmctl: parser.c
Log message:
Change the command line syntax to a "command + getopts" style, eg.
vmmctl start "myvm" -m 512M -i 1 -d disk.img -k /bsd
Networking people like me are used to the human-readable CLI-style
syntax that we have in some of our OpenBSD *ctl tools, including
bgpctl, other routing daemons, or relayctl. But this didn't work for
vmmctl, so change it to something a bit less human-readable but more
BSD- and POSIX-ish. After all, the command line is only intended for
simple configuration, more details will go into the configuration
file, so we can avoid getopt flag conflicts or scary things like the
getsubopt(3) style.
OK krw@ jasper@, with input from kettenis@ jmc@ deraadt@ mlarkin@ etc.
