similar to: [PATCH v2 0/2] New tool: virt-tail.

This adds a new tool which does a follow operation (ie. tail -f) on one or more log/text files inside the guest. I've only done limited testing, but it works for me for tailing various long-running builds inside guests which I'm doing at the moment. There are no tests at present. Rich.

Since v2: - Fix the things that Pino mentioned, except the recursion. - Implement Windows support. For Windows support to be sane, I had to inline the add_and_mount code. Rich.

Hi, the following series adds a --key option in the majority of tools: this makes it possible to pass LUKS credentials programmatically, avoid the need to manually input them, or unsafely pass them via stdin. Thanks, Pino Toscano (2): mltools: create a cmdline_options struct Introduce a --key option in tools that accept keys builder/cmdline.ml | 2 +-

Depends on the previous 5 patches that modified virt-rescue to work without direct mode: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-March/msg00017.html Rich.

This is the same as the previous patch, but the partition type is now chosen automatically from mbr or gpt, unless the user expresses a preference. https://gb.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2012-January/msg00136.html Rich.

Hi, this series update libguestfs to a recent gnulib version, so that we can use its new getprogname module, and solve altogether one of the porting issues (the need for 'program_name' by the error module of gnulib), and have a single way to get the name of the current program. A number of changes in tools mostly, although mechanical. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): Update gnulib to latest

Rather than me explaining over again what it does, I've included the man page below.

--autosysroot option uses suggestions to user on how to mount filesystems and change root suggested by --suggest option in virt-rescue. Commands are passed on kernel command line in format guestfs_command=command;. Command ends with a semicolon and there can be multiple commands specified. These are executed just before bash starts. On successfull run user is presented directly with bash in

This follows (tails) a log file within a guest, rather like the regular 'tail -f' command.

IMHO it should be called -i, like in the other tools, as what --autosysroot does is basically the same. > Commands are passed on kernel command line in format >

From: Nikolay Ivanets <stenavin@gmail.com> v3 is just a spelling correction spotted by Eric Blake In v2 I've moved '--blocksize' parameter description into the separate file called blocksize-option.pod so we can include it everywhere we need similar to key-option.pod. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-February/msg00099.html v1 was here:
