[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/4] OCaml tools: output messages as JSON machine

Enhance the output in machine parseable mode, by outputting all the
messages of OCaml tools as JSON to the machine parseable stream.

Related, although not strictly needed for this (and thus can be split
if requested), is the addition of the fd format for the machine
readable stream.

Pino Toscano (4):
  common/mltools: move the code for machine readable up
  common/mltools: make sure machine readable output is flushed
  common/mltools: allow fd for machine readable output
  OCaml tools: output messages into JSON for machine readable

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/4] common/mltools: move the code for machine readable up

Move the code for handling machine readable up in the file, so it can be
used by other functions.

Only code motion, no behaviour changes.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 2/4] common/mltools: make sure machine readable output is flushed

Enhance the helper printf function for machine readable output to always
flush after each string: this way, readers of the machine readable
stream can get the output as soon as it is outputted.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 3/4] common/mltools: allow fd for machine readable output

Allow to specify a file descriptor for the machine readable output.

Sadly, the OCaml C glue for the channels is not public API, so enable
the internals for this...

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 4/4] OCaml tools: output messages into JSON for machine readable

When the machine readable mode is enabled, print all the messages
(progress, info, warning, and errors) also as JSON in the machine
readable stream: this way, users can easily parse the status of the
OCaml tool, and report that back.

The formatting of the current date time into the RFC 3999 format is done
in C, because of the lack of OCaml APIs for this.

I was looking to see if any of the existing calls to machine_readable
are using %! (a format directive which causes the channel to be
flushed).  I had expected there would be some, but my simple "git
grep"s aren't turning up anything right now.

Anyway, ACK 1/4 and 2/4.

Rich.

I think this is not necessary.  On Unix-like platforms,
Unix.file_descr is really just an int, so you can cast between the two
using Val_int/Int_val (from C) or Obj.magic (from OCaml).  Note we
already rely on this in libguestfs, in
v2v/qemuopts-c.c:guestfs_int_qemuopts_to_chan

So I think this should work:

  | Fd of Unix.file_descr

...

  | Fd fd -> Some (Unix.out_channel_of_descr fd)

...

  | "fd" ->
    machine_readable_output := Fd (Obj.magic (int_of_string outname))

If you don't want to use Obj.magic, then something using /dev/fd/<N>
is another possibility.
