mtd-utils: Add new syntax to get devices by name

2023-05-30T09:12:12+00:00

This introduces a new feature to the MTD command line utilities that allows MTD devices to be referenced by name instead of device node. For example this looks like: > # Display info for the MTD device with name "data" > mtdinfo mtd:data > # Copy file to MTD device with name "data" > flashcp /my/file mtd:data This follows the syntax supported by the kernel which allows MTD device's to be mounted by name[1]. Add the function mtd_find_dev_node() that accepts an MTD "identifier" and returns the MTD's device node. The function accepts a string starting with "mtd:" which it treats as the MTD's name. It then attempts to search for the MTD, and if found maps it back to the /dev/mtdX device node. If the string does not start with "mtd:", then assume it's the old style and refers directly to a MTD device node. The function is then hooked into existing tools like flashcp, mtdinfo, flash_unlock, etc. To load in the new MTD parsing code in a consistent way across programs.

mtd-utils: Use AC_SYS_LARGEFILE

2021-02-28T12:36:26+00:00

Currently mtd-utils on 32bit systems fail on devices >2GiB due to off_t being a signed 32bit type. Add AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to make off_t a 64bit type. Adding AC_SYS_LARGEFILE results in _FILE_OFFSET_BITS being defined to 64 in include/config.h. To let this have an effect we must make sure that include/config.h is included before all other includes which is archieved by adding its inclusion to CPPFLAGS.

mtd-utils: common.h: fix prompt function

2018-09-20T09:27:01+00:00

The prompt() function is intended to query a yes/no reply from a command line user by reading in an entire line of text using getline() and checking the first character. If the line is empty, a default value is returned. First of all, this patch replaces the usage of getline() with fgets() to avoid compilation problems on some smaller C libraries, like klibc, that do not have a getline() implementation. Since we now have a static line length, this may break some build setups that input lengthy giberish instead of 'y' or 'n'. Second, this patch fixes a more severe bug in prompt(), replacing a 'while' keyword with the 'if' that was most likely intended. In the old version, if getline() reported an error, it would print an error message inside a while loop, immediately followed by a break and then march on and process the erroneous input instead of using the default value as printed to stdout.

Add no-return attribute to usage() style functions

2017-11-02T00:33:32+00:00

A common pattern in command line processing is having a usage() function that prints out how to use the command line options and then terminates. The function is typically used inside a switch block for command line options like `-h' or unknown options. In a lot of places, the break keyword is omitted, because the function exits anyway. However, this triggers gcc warnings about implicit fall-through. Rather than adding a phony "/* fall-through */" this patch flags the usage() style function with a gcc attribute, indicating that they do not return and removes further superfluous break statements.

Replace rpmatch() usage with checking first character of line

2017-03-02T10:43:58+00:00

This is based on the patch from Khem Raj used by openembedded. In addition to the original patch, this also removes the fallback implementation that was provided for C libraries that don't implement rpmatch. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

mtd-utils: Fix format specifier definitions for off_t and loff_t.

2017-02-20T12:12:47+00:00

On 32bit systems (e.g. ARM) the size of off_t can be 4 byte and the size of loff_t 8 byte. This causes compiler warnings like the following: flash_erase.c: In function 'show_progress': flash_erase.c:56:22: warning: format '%llx' expects argument of type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'off_t {aka long int}' [-Wformat=] bareverbose(!quiet, "\rErasing %d Kibyte @ %"PRIxoff_t" -- %2i %% complete ", and an output like this: ~# flash_erase /dev/mtd2 0 1 Erasing 64 Kibyte @ 6400000000 -- 0 % complete ~# Since the size of off_t and loff_t can differ from each other, the printf format specifier should be determined separately for both. Further the format specifiers should be based directly on the size of the particular data type. Signed-off-by: Torsten Fleischer Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer
