Note that items with (!) have high priority.
-libsmartcols
-------------
- - (!) add libscols_column->json_type and scols_column_set_jsontype()
- to generate proper JSON output. Now the library uses quotes (= all is
- string) for everything. See for example SIZE in "lsblk --json --bytes"
- output.
+col
+---
+ - use unsigned sizes for columns and lines
+ - check for limits to avoid segfaults
+ - make it more robust
+ https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/749
cal
---
- support another --reforms, see for example freebsd version
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/usr.bin/ncal/ncal.c#L72
-choom
------
- - add new tool to set/get process OOM setting
- https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/609
-
-column
-------
- - add option to NOT ignore empty lines
- https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/593
-
script
------
- - (!) add terminal type ($TERM), columns and lines to the header line, something like:
-
- Script started on 2018-03-05 13:02:08+0100 [term="xterm-256color", lines=53, columns=190]
-
- see https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/583
-
- - think about optional "event" records in timing file to save information
- about non-data changes like signals (SIGWINCH, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT, etc.)
- in format:
-
- <time> 0 <name>[: var=data, ...]
-
- for example:
-
- 0.001296 256
- 0.001297 0 SIGWINCH: columns=50, lines=20
- 0.000010 275
-
-lsblk
------
- The problem is NVMe-multipath driver where in /sys/.../slaves/ are nodes
- that should be probably hidden for userspace. Note that kernel developers
- promised to fix this issue in kernel *** so hold off from that for now***
- [Mar 1, 2018].
+ - introduce a new timing file format to record information about multiple
+ streams (stdout, stdin) and events (signals)
- Anyway, possible userspace solution is:
+ - add support for stdin loggin -- separated log file with raw input and timing
+ records in the timing file
- - verify that slave/holder nodes points to the real block devices
- (/sys/dev/block/<maj:min> for the node exists), otherwise silently ignore
- the slave/holder node -- see set_cxt().
+ - for example timing file format:
+
+ <type> <timestamp> [<offset> | <signal> ...]
- - the same verification we necessary for nodes in /sys/block/<name>. It means
- verify result from sysfs_devname_to_devno() in set_cxt().
+ O 0.001296 256
+ S 0.001297 SIGWINCH: columns=50, lines=20
+ I 0.000010 10
+ O - output, S - signal, I - input
-cleanup lib/path.c: [Karel Zak for v2.33]
-------------------
- - always return rc from all functions
- - introduce control struct and use openat() from top-level path
- (e.g. top-level is /proc, etc)
- - use lib/path.c as low-level API for lib/sysfs.c
- - now we duplicate code in functions like {path,sysfs}_read_u32, etc.
- - it would be also nice to have a way how to redirect sysfs.c functions
- to /sys snapshots (e.g. lsblk regression tests)
-
-
lscpu
-----
- read cpuid and uname information from file if --sysroot is specified, then
libmount (mount/umount)
-----------------------
- - remount all filesystems given their type, for example:
- mount -a -t tmpfs -o remount
- It should be probably enough to add remount_all() to mount(8) in way we
- already have mount_all(). https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/589
-
- add --onlyonce to force mount(8) to check if mountpoint is already used. Now
"already mounted" detection is used for --all only. The problem is if you
call "mount <mountpoint>" more than once for in fstab defined tmpfs (or network
set and allow to use it for simple tasks where no another operation is
necessary.
- - allow to execute mount(2) in another namespace, something like:
- mount --namespace=/proc/$n/ns/mnt /dev/sda2 /bar
- see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1199554 for more details.
-
- - add options to control fstab/mtab mount options usage, something like:
-
- --options-mode={ignore,append,prepend,replace} MNT_OMODE_{IGNORE, ...}
- --options-source={fstab,mtab,disable} MNT_OMODE_{FSTAB,MTAB,NOTAB}
- --options-source-force MNT_OMODE_FORCE
-
- (all this already supported by libmount)
-
-
partx
-----
- support mapping by device-mapper if argv[0] is "kpartx" or --dm option is used.
+getopt
+------
+ It would be great if getopt could optionally ignore unknown options.
+ Currently, it outputs -- for every option it doesn't recognize but leaving the
+ option as it is could beneficial wrapper scripts which could then pass the
+ options they don't recognize as they are to the command they are wrapping.
+ https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/701
+
docs
----
- (!) add API documentation to libuuid
-exit codes
-----------
-
- - we need coreutils-like exit codes for failed exec(). See:
- https://www.spinics.net/lists/util-linux-ng/msg12776.html
- and original attempt:
- https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/pull/311
login-utils:
-----------
libblkid
--------
- - (!) don't use internally blkid_loff_t, rather use off_t, size_t, ssize_t,
- stdint.h types and so on...
-
- - add FSSIZE value -- filesystem size (klibc requirement)
+ - (!) add support for BitLocker Drive Encryption
+ https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/617
+ https://github.com/libyal/libbde/blob/master/documentation/BitLocker%20Drive%20Encryption%20(BDE)%20format.asciidoc
- (!) add support for dasd PT (used for example on s390)
- add support for Apple Partition Map (see libblkid/src/partitions/mac.c)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Partition_Map
