CHANGELOGS:
CHANGELOG v7
* fix the warnings, remove the root path variable at all, free the name

CHANGELOG v6
* remove the default whitelist (now default state is no whitelist is used)
* incorporate jan's feedback
 * dynamic allocation of variable names in lists
 * fix the path names and reading

CHANGELOG v5
 * add the default blacklist and  whitelist
 * -w, -b: there is options for setting both blacklist and whitelist configuration files
 * -t: add the possibility to read the whitelist strictly

CHANGELOG v4
* incorporate dhaval feedback:
* whitelist -> blacklist
* add cgroup_free_cgroup

CHANGELOG v3
* white/blacklist is cached
* incorporate jsafraneks feedback

CHANGELOG v2
* add whitelist which describe the set of variables which can be dealt by
cgsnapshot without any problem (the values which with which have cgsnapshot
the problems are there with TODO comment and the reason) without -s option
the skipped variables are output with the warning text
* add the possibility to set the whitelist file
* add the possibility to redirect the output

CHANGELOG v1
* more verbose comments
* tune the variable names/description/usage in display_controller_data
function
* remove unnecessary .stat exception

    SYNOPSIS:
cgsnapshot [-h] [-s] [-t] [-b file] [-w file] [-f output_file] [controller] [...]
Generate the configuration file from the given controllers of control groups
  -b,--blacklist file  Set the blacklist configuration file (default /etc/cgsnapshot_blacklist.conf)
  -f,--file            Redirect the output to output_file
  -h,--help            Display this help
  -s,--silent          Ignore all warnings
  -t,--strict          Don't show the variables which are not on the whitelist
  -w,--whitelist file  Set the whitelist configuration file (don't used by default)

    EXAMPLE:
    $ /home/varekova/bg/libcgroup/20100719/libcg/src/tools/cgsnapshot -n
    # Configuration file generated by cgsnapshot
    mount {

         cpu = /cgroup/devices;
         cpuacct = /cgroup/memoryd;
         memory = /cgroup/memory;
         devices = /cgroup/devices;
         freezer = /cgroup/freezer;
         net_cls = /cgroup/net_cls;
    }
