From fe1b683fd0302f84d589c25987273abb3d8846c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2019 12:36:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] virsh: Treat \n like ; in batch mode I wanted to do a demonstration with virsh batch mode, which takes multiple commands all packed into a single argument: $ virsh -c test:///default 'echo a; echo b;' a b but that produced a really long line, so I tried to make it more legible: $ virsh -c test:///default ' echo a; echo b; ' error: unknown command: ' ' Let's be more like the shell, and treat unquoted newline as a command separator just as we do for semicolon. In fact, with that, I can even now mix styles: $ virsh -c test:///default ' echo a; echo b echo c ' a b c Signed-off-by: Eric Blake Reviewed-by: John Ferlan --- tests/virshtest.c | 4 ++++ tools/virsh.pod | 4 ++-- tools/virt-admin.pod | 4 ++-- tools/vsh.c | 4 ++-- 4 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/virshtest.c b/tests/virshtest.c index 7fb701d580..bb053cec27 100644 --- a/tests/virshtest.c +++ b/tests/virshtest.c @@ -411,6 +411,10 @@ mymain(void) DO_TEST(34, "hello\n", "echo --str hello"); DO_TEST(35, "hello\n", "echo --hi"); + /* Tests of multiple commands. */ + DO_TEST(36, "a\nb\n", " echo a; echo b;"); + DO_TEST(37, "a\nb\n", "\necho a\n echo b\n"); + # undef DO_TEST VIR_FREE(custom_uri); diff --git a/tools/virsh.pod b/tools/virsh.pod index 67edb57b14..146cd03e85 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.pod +++ b/tools/virsh.pod @@ -40,8 +40,8 @@ as a name.
