From 707c0dbc97cddfe8d2441b8259c6c526d99f2dd8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ram Pai Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:41:50 -0700 Subject: support colon in filenames Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is interpreted as a protocol by name "scsi". This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0 anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:" tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using backslash. Here are couple of examples: scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb file:scsi:0:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc file:http://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb Signed-off-by: Ram Pai Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori --- qemu-common.h | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'qemu-common.h') diff --git a/qemu-common.h b/qemu-common.h index fdc367997d..5b8ac77f09 100644 --- a/qemu-common.h +++ b/qemu-common.h @@ -104,6 +104,7 @@ void qemu_get_timedate(struct tm *tm, int offset); int qemu_timedate_diff(struct tm *tm); /* cutils.c */ +const char *fill_token(char *buf, int buf_size, const char *str, char); void pstrcpy(char *buf, int buf_size, const char *str); char *pstrcat(char *buf, int buf_size, const char *s); int strstart(const char *str, const char *val, const char **ptr); -- cgit v1.2.3
