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.

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.

Use defines for exit code values

Make the usage of exit consist. That is use the pre defined exit values. Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer

Unify version string printing

2016-11-17T10:36:55+00:00

When a program does sophisticated enough command line processing (i.e. getopt), make sure it responds to -V and --version. When a program prints a version string, make sure it uses the common_print_version macro to print out its name, that it is part of mtd-utils and the mtd-utils version from the build system in a fashion similar to common program packages like the GNU coreutils. When a program responds to -V/--version or -h/--help, make sure it reports success exit status. Signed-off-by: David Oberhollenzer Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

mtd-utils: Restructure the mtd-utils source.

2015-11-11T22:38:40+00:00

* There is no code modification in this commit, only moving * the files to proper place. The user tools looks a little messy as we place almost the all tools in the root directory of mtd-utils. To make it more clear, I propose to introduce the following structure for our source code. mtd-utils/ |-- lib |-- include |-- misc-utils |-- jffsX-utils |-- nand-utils |-- nor-utils |-- ubi-utils |-- ubifs-utils `-- tests Signed-off-by: Dongsheng Yang Signed-off-by: Brian Norris
