Subject: [PATCH] New tool: virt-ls

This tool makes available the functionality of "ls", "ll", and "find"
in a slightly simpler to use form.

Examples:

  virt-ls -l myguest /tmp

+=head1 NAME
+
+virt-ls - List files in a virtual machine
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ virt-ls [--options] domname directory
+
+ virt-ls [--options] disk.img [disk.img ...] directory
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<virt-ls> is a command line tool to list the names of files in a
+directory inside a virtual machine or disk image.
+
+C<virt-ls> is just a simple wrapper around L<libguestfs(3)>
+functionality.  For more complex cases you should look at the
+L<guestfish(1)> tool.
+
+C<virt-ls> can be used in one of three modes: simple, long and
+recursive.  A simple listing is like the ordinary L<ls(1)> command:
+
+ $ virt-ls myguest /
+ bin
+ boot
+ [etc.]
+
+With the C<-l> (C<--long>) option, C<virt-ls> shows more detail:
+
+ $ virt-ls -l myguest /
+ total 204
+ dr-xr-xr-x.   2 root root   4096 2009-08-25 19:06 bin
+ dr-xr-xr-x.   5 root root   3072 2009-08-25 19:06 boot
+ [etc.]
+
+With the C<-R> (C<--recursive>) option, C<virt-ls> lists the
+names of files and directories recursively:
+
+ $ virt-ls -R myguest /tmp
+ foo
+ foo/bar
+ [etc.]
+
+You I<cannot> combine these options.  To do more complicated things,
+use L<guestfish(1)>.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=cut
+
+my $help;
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Display brief help.
+
+=cut
+
+my $version;
+
+=item B<--version>
+
+Display version number and exit.
+
+=cut
+
+my $uri;
+
+=item B<--connect URI> | B<-c URI>
+
+If using libvirt, connect to the given I<URI>.  If omitted, then we
+connect to the default libvirt hypervisor.
+
+If you specify guest block devices directly, then libvirt is not used
+at all.
+
+=cut
+
+my $mode;
+
+=item B<-l> | B<--long>
+
+=item B<-R> | B<--recursive>
+
+Select the mode.  With neither of these options, C<virt-ls>
+produces a simple, flat list of the files in the named directory.
+
+C<virt-ls -l> produces a "long listing", which shows more detail (just
+like the plain C<ls -l> command).
+
+C<virt-ls -R> produces a recursive list of files starting at the named
+directory.  See the documentation for the C<guestfs_find> command
+L<guestfs(3)> for precise details.
+
+You cannot combine these options.

+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+C<virt-ls -R myguest /> may fail with an error if there are lots of
+files.  The reason is a limitation of the L<libguestfs(3)> API: the
+complete list of file names must be able to fit in a single RPC
+message, and there is a message size limit of (currently) around 2-4
+MB.
