is more useful than -C and diff because it highlights the keys that have
changed value so for example, you can see that the size of a file has
not changed but the contents have. (brooks)
This can be used in /etc/security to allow special.local to override
types of entries in special (e.g, replacing a dir with a link).
Rename Wflag to mtree_Wflag, to be more "external namespace" friendly.
and then all the other fields. (I.e, like -D except with the name
first instead of last).
Consistenly strsvis(3) encode path names (even for -C and -D).
- Add -L to walk the tree `logically', by following symbolic links in
the heirarchy.
- Add -P to walk the tree `physically'. This is the current behaviour,
and the default.
- Add "-X excludes-file" to give mtree the ability to exclude files and
directories from its traversal. excludes-file contains fnmatch(3)
patterns to exclude from the walk.
- Add "md5digest" synonym for "md5".
- Add "rmd160" keyword for RMD-160 message digest, and "rmd160digest" synonym.
- Add "sha1" keyword for SHA-1 message digest, and "sha1digest" synonym.
- Don't try to compare() other attributes if the type doesn't match;
it's nothing but trouble, and no use anyway.
- In -c, only emit "/set" records if something has changed since the
previous one.
User interface changes by me:
- Check a device's parameters before checking uid/gid/mode.
- If updating (-u), modify the following to match the specification:
- Device type (retaining existing ownership).
- Symlink target.
Fixes from (or inspired by) FreeBSD:
- Use p->ftslevel instead of own code to keep track of the level ourself.
The previous code got majorly confused if fts(3) couldn't descend
into a subdir, resulting in leaf nodes getting attached to the wrong
directory.
XXX: This new method is much much more robust, even though it's not 100%
perfect; it might result in a couple of following entries in the spec
to be incorrectly tagged as missing.
- Pass a useful pathname to rlink(), so that logical (-L) traversal
doesn't confuse symlink checking.
- Consistently use MAXPATHLEN+1 sized buffers for pathnames, so that
there's room for the NUL.
- Use mtree_err() and strerror(p->fts_errno) to report errors during
the fts(3) walk.
Fixes by me:
- Remove now-unused `const char *name' argument from compare().
- Change crc_total from an int to a u_int32_t, to match usr.bin/cksum/crc.c.
- Remove trailing whitespace.
- Remove unnecessary (void) casts on functions.
- Reorder entries in the getopt() switch.
- Replace strtoq() with strtoll(), and use strtoul() appropriately.
- Renumber F_ flags to be in alphabetical order.
various potential problems when intermixing full and relative paths
- changes to make it much easier to use spec() - the specfile parser - in
other programs (via .PATHing spec.c and misc.c):
- move excludetags, includetags and keys from mtree.c to misc.c
- implement mtree_err() using vwarnx() instead of assuming name is
"mtree"
- move inotype() and nodetype() from compare.c to misc.c
- add nodetoinode(), to convert from an mtree F_* type to a
mode_t S_IF* type
- clean up #include use; don't assume "mtree.h" pulls in some
standard includes
- change spec() to take a FILE * arg (where the specfile is read from)
- create a typedef struct slist_t to hold stuff in (avoid stringlist(3)
because it's less portable)
- move the tag manipulate stuff into misc.c
- add matchtags(), which returns 0 if the node is explicitly excluded,
or not included if an include list is given; or 1 otherwise
- in -D, change tags support from files-only to all-non-directories
(xxx; still considering implementing tags support for -c and !-D)
- add a new keyword - "tags" - which is a comma separated list of tags
associated with that file.
- add "-E tags"; exclude files in -D output with matching tags
- add "-I tags"; only include files in -D output with matching tags
(default is to list all)
fixes:
- move all extern variable references from individual files into extern.h
- `quote' some more user-specified strings in error messages
- man page: list an options arguments in the description, and sort xrefs.
checksum of the file in question, optionally preceeded by `0x'.
This has been tested, and does work, AFAICT. There is currently no md5 equivalent
of the '-s' flag for use with checksum.
specification, but _not_ in the file hierarchy. contrib'd by:
Ed Symanzik <zik@enoch.cl.msu.edu>. Man page adjustment to match, and
minor man page cleanup, by me.
