Subject: udevadm-hwdb: honor root when querying
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=13d8955088c00ca87619a146a1a85c3f67e4211d;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

udevadm-hwdb: honor root when querying

The deprecated udevadm hwdb command parsed --root for both update and
test modes, but the test path always queried the host database.

Pass the configured root to hwdb_query() so --root affects --test in
the same way as systemd-hwdb query.

Reproducer:

$ tmp=$(mktemp -d)
$ mkdir -p "$tmp/etc/udev/hwdb.d"
$ printf 'test:codex-root-test\n ID_TEST_CODEX=from-root\n' > "$tmp/etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-codex.hwdb"
$ systemd-hwdb --root="$tmp" update
$ systemd-hwdb --root="$tmp" query test:codex-root-test
ID_TEST_CODEX=from-root
$ udevadm hwdb --root="$tmp" --test=test:codex-root-test
udevadm hwdb is deprecated. Use systemd-hwdb instead.

The last command was expected to print ID_TEST_CODEX=from-root, but
queried the host database instead.
