If the option name # takes a value, then the type of value is specified, # e.g. --foo String. # # Possible option names are listed in args.h # # Use --foo_long to specify that only the long form of # --foo is accepted by the command. (This is uncommon.) # # Possible option arg types are shown in tools/vals.h, # e.g. Bool, String, VG, SizeMB. # # --option args outside the list of types in vals.h are treated # as literal (non-variable) strings or numbers. # # positional args can be multiple types separated by |, e.g. VG|LV|Tag # # If a positional arg is repeatable, it is followed by ..., e.g. VG|LV|Tag ... # # LV can have a suffix indicating the LV type, e.g. LV_linear, LV_thinpool. # LV_raid represents any raidN. LV_type1_type2_type3 when the LV is # limited to multiple specific types. # # Note that two commands whose required paramters differ only by # the LV types they accept are ambiguous. That is, they cannot be # distinguished by just looking at the command, but require reading # the VG to find the LV type. So, command definitions that differ # only in accepted LV types are not allowed. It would be best to # distinguish them by using different option names. # There are FIXME's below for some of these cases. # # VG, LV can have the suffix _new, indicating the named VG or LV # does not yet exist. # # If Select is included in pos_arg, it means that the pos_arg # may be empty if the --select option is used. # # --size and --extents are interchangable, but only --size is used # in these definitions to keep them simpler. --extents is # automatically included and recognized as an alternative to --size. # # lvcreate generally requires a VG arg in position 1 and does not # require the --name option (when --name is omitted, a name is # generated). But, all commands of that form have a variant which # is not defined here, but which is automatically recognized as # being equivalent. That variant allows the required VG arg to # be omitted when --name VG/LV is specified, or when the # LVM_VG_NAME env var is set and --name LV is specified. # The lvcreate variants with --name and without a VG arg are # automatically recognized as an alternative to the defined # command forms requiring the VG and no --name. # Also, --thinpool VG/LV or --cachepool VG/LV can be used in # place of --name to provide the VG name instead of pos 1. # # Note that one the most difficult aspect of these definitions is # the variants of --thin / --type thin / --type thin-pool, # --cache / --type cache / --type cache-pool. # There are no consistent rules to follow and the behaviors are # unpredictable; each possible variation and combination needs # to be tested individually to see what it means. # # Some options have multiple names, but only one form of the name # is used in these definitions. Synonyms will be recognized when # matching a command to a command definition. # # used in definitions below (equivalent but not used in definitions) # mirrorlog core (not corelog) # resizeable (resizable or allocation) # allocatable (allocation) # activate (available) # rebuild (raidrebuild) # syncaction (raidsyncaction) # writemostly (raidwritemostly) # minrecoveryrate (raidminrecoveryrate) # maxrecoveryrate (raidmaxrecoveryrate) # writebehind (raidwritebehind) # virtualsize (virtualoriginsize) # splitcache (split) # vgmetadatacopies (metadatacopies) # pvmetadatacopies (metadatacopies) # # "---" is like a comment line, used to separate text for readability # # ID: A unique string identifying the command.
