Hi,
to substantiate my proposal of renaming young grub-mkrescue.c to
grub-mkiso.c and to add a built-in emulation of grub-mkrescue(.in),
here the necessary code which i tested standalone with valgrind.
The decision which parser to use would be made in main():
--------------------------------------------------------------
char *cpt;
...
/* Get leaf name of argv[0] */
for (cpt = argv[0] + strlen (argv[0]) - 1; cpt >= argv[0]; cpt--)
if (*cpt == '/')
break;
cpt++;
if (strcmp (cpt, "grub-mkrescue") == 0)
{
arg_parser_mkrescue (argc, argv);
}
else
{
argp_parse (&argp, argc, argv, 0, 0, 0);
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
The help text is derived from grub-mkrescue.in of GRUB 2.00.
--------------------------------------------------------------
static void
printc (char *line)
{
printf ("%s\n", line);
}
static void
print_mkrescue_help (char *prog_name)
{
printf ("%s %s %s\n", _("Usage:"), prog_name, _("[OPTION] SOURCE..."));
printc (_("Make GRUB CD-ROM, disk, pendrive and floppy bootable image."));
printc (_("-h, --help"));
printc (_(" print this message and exit"));
printc (_("-v, --version"));
printc (_(" print the version information and exit"));
printc (_("-o, --output=FILE"));
printc (_(" save output in FILE [required]"));
printc (_("--rom-directory=DIR"));
printc (_(" save ROM images in DIR [optional]"));
printc (_("--xorriso=FILE"));
printc (_(" use FILE as xorriso [optional]"));
printc (_("Not supported any more are:"));
printc (_(" --modules , --grub-mkimage , --override-directory"));
printc (_("Other arguments get forwarded to xorriso -as mkisofs"));
printc (_("emulation."));
printc ("");
printf ("%s %s\n", prog_name, _("generates a bootable rescue image"));
printc (_("with specified source files, source directories, or mkisofs"));
printc (_("options listed by the output of `xorriso -as mkisofs -help'"));
printc ("");
printc (_("Note: Do not use option \"--\" unless you want to submit"));
printc (_(" native xorriso commands instead of file paths or"));
printc (_(" mkisofs options. See man xorrisofs and man xorriso."));
printc ("");
printc (_("Report bugs to <address@hidden>."));
printc (_("Mail xorriso support requests to <address@hidden>."));
printc ("");
printc (_("This is program grub-mkiso emulating the option"));
printc (_("interpretation of legacy program grub-mkrescue."));
printc (_("grub-mkiso in its native mode has more advanced options."));
printc (_("But that mode demands to separate grub-mkiso options"));
printc (_("and xorriso options by a double dash \"--\", which xorriso"));
printc (_("will not get to see."));
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
The parser function implements the promised options and collects
the xorriso -as mkisofs options into the same char pointer array
as does the existing parser in the C program.
In particular it sets the values of these variables:
static char *rom_directory;
static int xorriso_tail_argc;
static int xorriso_tail_arg_alloc;
static char **xorriso_tail_argv;
static char *output_image;
static char *xorriso;
--------------------------------------------------------------
static void
arg_parser_mkrescue (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
for (i = 1; i < argc; i++)
{
if (strcmp (argv[i], "-h") == 0 || strcmp (argv[i], "--help") == 0)
{
print_mkrescue_help (argv[0]);
exit (0);
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "-v") == 0
|| strcmp (argv[i], "--version") == 0)
{
printf ("%s %s %s\n", argv[0], PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION);
exit (0);
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--modules") == 0)
{
grub_util_error (_("Option --modules is not supported any more"));
}
else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--modules=", 10) == 0)
{
grub_util_error (_("Option --modules= is not supported any more"));
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "-o") == 0
|| strcmp (argv[i], "--output") == 0)
{
if (i == argc - 1)
grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"),
argv[i]);
i++;
free (output_image);
output_image = xstrdup (argv[i]);
}
else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--output=", 9) == 0)
{
free (output_image);
output_image = xstrdup (argv[i] + 9);
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--rom-directory") == 0)
{
if (i == argc - 1)
grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"),
argv[i]);
i++;
free (rom_directory);
rom_directory = xstrdup (argv[i]);
}
else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--rom-directory=", 16) == 0)
{
free (rom_directory);
rom_directory = xstrdup (argv[i] + 16);
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--override-directory") == 0)
{
grub_util_error(
_("Option --override-directory is not supported any more"));
}
else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--override-directory=", 21) == 0)
{
grub_util_error(
_("Option --override-directory= is not supported any more"));
}
else if (strcmp (argv[i], "--xorriso") == 0)
{
if (i == argc - 1)
grub_util_error (_("option requires an argument -- `%s'"),
argv[i]);
i++;
free (xorriso);
xorriso = xstrdup (argv[i]);
}
else if (strncmp (argv[i], "--xorriso=", 10) == 0)
{
free (xorriso);
xorriso = xstrdup (argv[i] + 10);
}
else
{
if (xorriso_tail_arg_alloc <= xorriso_tail_argc)
{
xorriso_tail_arg_alloc = 2 * (4 + xorriso_tail_argc);
xorriso_tail_argv = xrealloc (xorriso_tail_argv,
sizeof (xorriso_tail_argv[0])
* xorriso_tail_arg_alloc);
}
xorriso_tail_argv[xorriso_tail_argc++] = xstrdup (argv[i]);
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------
There remains the incompatibility that i could not find
equivalents of the following grub-mkrescue.in features:
--modules=MODULES
pre-load specified modules MODULES
--grub-mkimage=FILE
use FILE as grub-mkimage
--override-directory
"Intentionally undocumented"
--------------------------------------------------------------
The valgrind test was made with a mock-up of grub-mkiso.c
consisting of some copied util/grub-*.c functions and a main()
which prints the content of the variables after parsing.
ln -s grub-mkiso grub-mkrescue
valgrind ./grub-mkrescue -o output.iso -J --rom-directory=./ROMDIR -P
YET_ANOTHER_OS.ORG --md5 --emul-toc ./my_os_payload
--xorriso="$HOME"/xorriso-1.3.8/xorriso/xorriso
yielded:
output_image= 'output.iso'
rom_directory= './ROMDIR'
xorriso= '/home/thomas/xorriso-1.3.8/xorriso/xorriso'
xorriso_tail_arg_alloc= 8
xorriso_tail_argc= 6
xorriso_tail_argv[ 0]= '-J'
xorriso_tail_argv[ 1]= '-P'
xorriso_tail_argv[ 2]= 'YET_ANOTHER_OS.ORG'
xorriso_tail_argv[ 3]= '--md5'
xorriso_tail_argv[ 4]= '--emul-toc'
xorriso_tail_argv[ 5]= './my_os_payload'
