This patch adds cd and pwd commands to virsh. These can be useful
together with commands that refer to files in the local file systems,
especially save and restore.
I explicitly decided not to provide any other command, e.g. mkdir,
to avoid going down a slippery slope (now you want mkdir, tomorrow
ls and rm and so on...). If anything, it would be possible to add
a generic shell command---but cd cannot be implemented that way,
so pwd shall remain the sole "exception".
I did not implement "cd -".
Ok?
2009-07-02 Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>
* bootstrap: Add getcwd module.
* docs/virsh.pod: Document cd and pwd commands.
* src/virsh.c (info_cd, opts_cd, cmdCd, info_pwd,
cmdPwd): New.
(commands): Add cd and pwd commands.
* virsh.1: Regenerate.
