Before this change, I noticed that some non-interactive commands
don't work,
$ iwctl version
$ iwctl help
while other ones do.
$ iwctl station wlan0 show
This seems to be a typo bug in the if clause checking for additional
arguments.
This change removes duplicate calls to display_table_footer(), in
station show.
Before this change, the bug caused an extra newline to be output every
time the table updated. This only occurred when the network was
disconnected.
$ iwctl
[iwd]# station wlan0 show
In nearly all cases the auto-line breaks can be on spaces in the
string. The only exception (so far) is DPP which displays a very
long URI without any spaces. When this is displayed a single
character was lost on each break. This was due to the current line
being NULL terminated prior to the next line string being returned.
To handle both cases the next line is copied prior to terminating
the current line. The offsets were modified slightly so the line
will be broken *after* the space, not on the space. This leaves
the space at the end of the current line which is invisible to the
user but allows the no-space case to also work without loss of
the last character (since that last character is where the space
normally would be).
Each color escape is tracked and the new_width is adjusted
accordingly. But if the color escape comes after a space which breaks
the line, the adjusted width ends up being too long since that escape
sequence isn't appearing on the current line. This causes the next
column to be shifted over.
The old 'max' parameter was being used both as an input and output
parameter which was confusing. Instead have next_line take the
column width as input, and output a new width which includes any
color escapes and wide characters.
In theory any input to this function should have valid utf-8 but
just in case the strings should be validated. This removes the
need to check the return of l_utf8_get_codepoint which is useful
since there is no graceful failure path at this point.
The utf-8 bytes were being counted as normal ascii so the
width maximum was not being increased to include
non-printable bytes like it is for color escape sequences.
This lead to the row not printing enough characters which
effected the text further down the line.
Fix this by increasing 'max' when non-codepoint utf-8
characters are found.
The limitations of readline required that the autocompletion choose
a 'default' device. With multiple phys this doesn't work. Now the
readline limitation has been worked around and station can look up
the device for the command completion.
There is a limitation of libreadline where no context/userdata
can be passed to completion functions. Thi affects iwctl since
the entity value isn't known to completion functions.
Workarounds such as getting the default device are employed but
its not a great solution.
Instead hack around this limitation by parsing the prompt to
extract the entity (second arg). Then use a generic match function
given to readline which can call the actual match function and
include the entity.
The table header needs to be adjusted to include spaces between
columns.
The 'adapter list' command was also updated to shorted a few
columns which were quite long for the data that is actually displayed.
The existing color code escape sequences required the user to set the
color, write the string, then unset with COLOR_OFF. Instead the macros
can be made to take the string itself and automatically terminate the
color with COLOR_OFF. This makes for much more concise strings.
ad-hoc, ap, and wsc all had descriptions longer than the max width but
this is now taken care of automatically. Remove the tab and newline's
from the description.
The WSC pin command description was also changed to be more accurate
since the pin does not need to be 8 digits.
There was no easy to use API for printing the contents of a table, and
was left up to the caller to handle manually. This adds display_table_row
which makes displaying tables much easier, including automatic support
for line truncation and continuation on the next line.
Lines which are too long will be truncated and displayed on the next
line while also taking into account any colored output. This works with any
number of columns.
This removes the need for the module to play games with encoding newlines
and tabs to make the output look nice.
As a start, this functionality was added to the command display.
The generic proxy property display was limited to a width for names/value
which makes the output look nice and uniform, but will cut off any values
which are longer than this limit.
This patch adds some logic to detect this, and continue displaying the
value on the next line.
The width arguments were also updated to be unsigned, which allows checking
the length without a cast.
The dbus proxy code assumes that every interface has a set of
properties registered in a 'proxy_interface_property' structure,
assuming the interface has any properties at all. If the interface
is assumed to have no properties (and no property table) but
actually does, the property table lookup fails but is assumed to
have succeeded and causes a crash.
This caused iwctl to crash after some properties were added to DPP
since the DPP interface previously had no properties.
Now, check that the property table was valid before accessing it. This
should allow properties to be added to new interfaces without crashing
older versions of iwctl.
\e[1;30m is bold black, often, but not always displayed bright black or
bold bright black. In case it is displayed as real black it is
invisible. \e[1;90m is explicit bold bright black.
\e[37m is white, therefore it is not suitable to be labeled as GREY,
which is \e[90m
Two commands were added:
dpp <iface> start-enrollee
dpp <iface> start-configurator
dpp <iface> stop
In addition there is support for using the qrencode utility for displaying
the QR code after DPP is started (enrollee or configurator. If qrencode is
found on the system the QR code will be displayed. Otherwise only the URI
will be printed to the console.
LLD 13 and GNU ld 2.37 support -z start-stop-gc which allows garbage
collection of C identifier name sections despite the __start_/__stop_
references. GNU ld before 2015-10 had the behavior as well. Simply set
the retain attribute so that GCC 11 (if configure-time binutils is 2.36
or newer)/Clang 13 will set the SHF_GNU_RETAIN section attribute to
prevent garbage collection.
Without the patch, there are linker errors with -z start-stop-gc
(LLD default) when -Wl,--gc-sections is used:
```
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __start___eap
>>> referenced by eap.c
>>> src/eap.o:(eap_init)
```
The remain attribute will not be needed if the metadata sections are
referenced by code directly.
In non-interactive mode, when a dbus method call returns the process
exits. This is true for all methods except agent requests since e.g.
Connect() call automatically requests credentials and the client must
wait for that to return before exiting. The new daemon interface must
also be treated in the same way and not exit.
When station 'show' is invoked, parse and print any IP addresses
associated with the interface.
If iwd network configuration is disabled and no IP addresses were
configured, print a hint to the user that a DHCP client might need to be
configured.
WEP networks are not supported by iwd. However, the only indication is the
message "Operation not supported" while trying to connect. It is not clear
enough that this is due to intentional lack of support (as opposed to some
kind of misconfiguration). This patch explicitly lists WEP networks shown
with get-networks as unsupported. Hopefully this will make it clearer for
those of us not as familiar with iwd.
This fixes up a previous commit which breaks iwctl. The
check was added to satisfy static analysis but it ended
up preventing iwctl from starting. In this case mkdir
can fail (e.g. if the directory already exists) and only
if it fails should the history be read. Otherwise a
successful mkdir return indicates the history folder is
new and there is no reason to try reading it.
