kay.sievers@vrfy.org 9fe3f9a938 [PATCH] cleanup mult field string handling
Here I try to cleanup our various multifield iteration over the strings.
Inspired by our nice list.h we now have a macro to iterate over the string
and process the parts of it:
It makes the code more readable and we don't change the string while we
process it like the former strsep() does.

Example:

  foreach_strpart(dev->symlink, " ", pos, len) {
  	if (strncmp(&dev->symlink[pos], find_name, len) != 0)
  		continue;

  	...
  }

For the callout part selector %c{2} we separate now not only by space but
also newline and return characters, cause some programs may give multiline
values back. A possible RESULT match must contain wildcards for these
characters.

Also a bug in the recent udevinfo symlink query feature is fixed.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B udevinfo
.RI "[\-q " query_type " \-p " sysfs_path "] [\-drVh]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B udevinfo
allows users to query the udev database for information on any of the devices
currently present in the system. It also provides a way to query any device
in the sysfs tree to help in creating
.B udev
rule files.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B \-V
Print the version information.
.TP
.B \-r
Print the the
.B udev_root
directory. When used in conjunction with a query for the node name, the
.B udev_root
will be prepended.
.TP
.BI \-q " query_type"
Query the database for specified value of a created device node.
.RB Needs " \-p " or " \-n " specified.
.br
Valid types are:
.BR name ", " symlink ", " mode " ," owner " , " group " , " path " or " all.
.TP
.BI \-p " sysfs_path"
Specify the sysfs path of the device to query.
.TP
.BI \-n " name"
Specify the name of the node or the symlink for the device to query.
Partition names generated with the NAME{all_partitons} option can not be
queried, the main device must be used instead.
.TP
.B \-a
Print all
.BI SYSFS{ filename }
attributes along the device chain. Useful for for finding
unique attributes to compose a rule.
.RB Needs " \-p " specified.
.TP
.B \-d
Dump the whole database.
.TP
.B \-h
Print help text.
