2023-05-30mtd-utils: Add new syntax to get devices by nameBrandon Maier
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.

2017-11-02Add no-return attribute to usage() style functionsDavid Oberhollenzer
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.

2016-11-17mtd-utils: Add flash torture test utilityDavid Oberhollenzer
Basically a user space port of the mtd torture test kernel module. In addition to the block offset and count module parameters, the utility supports a block stride and can restore the block contents after test. In contrast to the kernel module, the torture test is implemented by the libmtd mtd_toruture function and thus doesn't allow for similarly fine grained options on diagnostics.
