   2  TODO
   3  ----
   4
   5  - add command line interface for blkid_probe_filter_types():
   6
   7        # blkid -p -o udev --filter-type nofat
   8
   9  - (?) we need to ignore cache and config files when the files are writable
  10    for non-root users and the library is linked with suid programs
  11
  12  - add -<BE|LE> suffix to test images for native-endian filesystems (e.g. swap)
  13    and add support for such functionality to tests/ts/blkid/low-probe
  14
  15  - do we really need to depend on libuuid? Maybe the default should be
  16    use in-tree code rather and link against libuuid -- especially when we
  17    need it for uuid_unparse() only.
  18
  19  - consolidate "getsize" stuff (see getsize.c and lib/blkdev.c)
  20
  21  - cleanup __attribute__ usage
  22
  23  - add stripe size / alignment retrival support to libbkid for use
  24    with mkfs.  This would allow to deprecate libdisk from xfsprogs (1)
  25    in favour of a common libblkid.

  30    [ .. or move whole libdisk to util-linux-ng and merge partx code to the
  31      library -- kzak ]
  32
  33  - use /sys/block/<devname>/dm/name rather than scan /dev/mapper/ for the name
  34    (see devname.c: probe_one()). The sysfs entry has been introduced by kernel
  35    patch 784aae735d9b0bba3f8b9faef4c8b30df3bf0128.
  36
  37  - in lib/fsprobe.c wrapper use blkid_parse_tag_string() rather than a local
  38    parser implementation
  39
  40  - use fstatat() in blkid__scan_dir()
