David Teigland 761e4ef9ab commands: new method for defining commands
. Define a prototype for every lvm command.
. Verify every user command matches one.
. Generate help text and man pages from them.

The new file command-lines.in defines a prototype for every
unique lvm command.  A unique lvm command is a unique
combination of: command name + required option args +
required positional args.  Each of these prototypes also
includes the optional option args and optional positional
args that the command will accept, a description, and a
unique string ID for the definition.  Any valid command
will match one of the prototypes.

Here's an example of the lvresize command definitions from
command-lines.in, there are three unique lvresize commands:

lvresize --size SizeMB LV
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync, --reportformat String, --resizefs,
--stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB, --test, --poolmetadatasize SizeMB
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_by_size
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified size.

lvresize LV PV ...
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --resizefs, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB,
--test
ID: lvresize_by_pv
DESC: Resize an LV by a specified PV.

lvresize --poolmetadatasize SizeMB LV_thinpool
OO: --alloc Alloc, --autobackup Bool, --force,
--nofsck, --nosync, --noudevsync,
--reportformat String, --stripes Number, --stripesize SizeKB,
--test
OP: PV ...
ID: lvresize_pool_metadata_by_size
DESC: Resize the metadata SubLV of a pool LV.

The three commands have separate definitions because they have
different required parameters.  Required parameters are specified
on the first line of the definition.  Optional options are
listed after OO, and optional positional args are listed after OP.

This data is used to generate corresponding command definition
structures for lvm in command-lines.h.  "usage" text is also
generated, so it is always in sync with the definitions.

Example of the corresponding generated structure in
command-lines.h for the first lvresize prototype
(these structures are never edited directly):

Every user-entered command is compared against the set of
command structures, and matched with one.  An error is
reported if an entered command does not have the required
parameters for any definition.  The closest match is printed
as a suggestion, and running lvresize --help will display
the usage for each possible lvresize command, e.g.:

$ lvresize --help
  lvresize - Resize a logical volume

  Resize an LV by a specified size.

	  --quiet,
	  --verbose,
	  --version,
	  --yes,
	  --force,
	  --test,
	  --noudevsync ]

  (Use --help --help for usage notes.)

$ lvresize --poolmetadatasize 4
  Failed to find a matching command definition.
  Closest command usage is:
  lvresize --poolmetadatasize Number[m|unit] LV_thinpool

Man page prototypes are also generated from the same original
command definitions, and are always in sync with the code
and help text.

Very early in command execution, a matching command definition
is found.  lvm then knows the operation being done, and that
the provided args conform to the definition.  This will allow
lots of ad hoc checking/validation to be removed throughout
the code.

Each command definition can also be routed to a specific
function to implement it.  The function is associated with
an enum value for the command definition (generated from
the ID string.)  These per-command-definition implementation
functions have not yet been created, so all commands
currently fall back to the existing implementation.

Using per-command-definition functions will allow lots of
code to be removed which tries to figure out what the
command is meant to do.  This is currently based on ad hoc
and complicated option analysis.  When using the new
functions, what the command is doing is already known
from the associated command definition.

So, this first phase validates every user-entered command
against the set of command prototypes, then calls the existing
implementation.  The second phase can associate an implementation
function with each definition, and take further advantage of the
known operation to avoid the complicated option analysis.

#
#
# Syntax
#
# A new command has a unique combination of:
# command name, required option args and required
# positional args.
#
# To define a new command, begin a single line with a
# command name, followed by required options/args,
# (e.g. --foo, or --foo val), followed by required
# positional args, (e.g. VG)
#
# After the single line of required elements are lines
# of optional elements:
# OO: <optional --option args>
# OP: <optional positional args>
#
# command_name required_opt_arg ... required_pos_arg ...
# OO: optional_opt_arg, ...
# OP: optional_pos_arg ...
#
# required_opt_arg/optional_opt_arg must begin with the
# long form option name, e.g. --foo. 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.
#
# 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 (corelog)
# resizeable (resizable)
# allocatable (allocation)
# resizeable (allocation)
# activate (available)
# rebuild (raidrebuild)
# syncaction (raidsyncaction)
# writemostly (raidwritemostly)
# minrecoveryrate (raidminrecoveryrate)
# maxrecoveryrate (raidmaxrecoveryrate)
# writebehind (raidwritebehind)
#
#
# "---" is like a comment line, used to separate text for readability
#
# ID: A unique string identifying the command. Two commands that do
# the same thing, but are alternate syntaxes can share the same ID,
# in which case the implementation would have to sort out which
# args to look at for the required parameters. Or, the two commands
# could use differnet IDs, in which case the implementation would
# know where to look for each parameter.
#
# DESC: A description of the command.
#
#
# For efficiency, sets of options can be defined and reused
# in multiple command definitions.
#
# To define a common set of options:
# OO_NAME: --foo, --bar String
#
# To use this set of options, include it on the OO: line, e.g.
# OO: --example, OO_NAME
#
# which is expaneded to
# OO: --example, --foo, --bar String
#
# Including OO_NAME after a command name on the required line
# means that any one of the options is required and the rest
# are optional. The usage syntax for this case is printed as:
# command (--foo A, --bar B)
#
#
# OO_ALL is included in every command automatically.
# FIXME: add --force and --test to OO_ALL so that all commands will
# accept them even if they are not used?

# a given command's usage. This is done to avoid excessive
# repetition of common options, which may obscure the more
# interesting and relevant parts of a common prototype.
# This definition is *only* used when generating the command
# usage strings, and is the basis for the division between
# the "usage" and "usage_common" strings. This OO defn does
# not relate to which optional opts are accepted by commands,
# which is defined by the OO line.
