Hi All, Here is a patch http://review.gluster.org/#/c/13061/ that creates the initial template for any new xlator that you wish to write. How to use: $ python ./generate_xlator.py <XLATOR_DIRECTORY> <XLATOR_NAME> <FOP_SUFFIX> Eg: python ./generate_xlator.py /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features compression cmpr This command will create the following files with some initial contents like copyright, fops definition, header definition etc. : * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/Makefile.am * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/src/Makefile.am * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/src/compression.c * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/src/compression.h * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/src/compression-mem-types.h * /home/u1/glusterfs/xlators/features/compression/src/compression-messages.h By default all the fops and other functions are generated, if you do not need to implement certain functions, delete those functions from the the file `config.py`. One can customize the fop definition by changing CBK_TEMPLATE/FOP_TEMPLATE in generate_xlator.py. This is an addition to Jeff's http://review.gluster.org/#/c/9411/ Reviews are welcome. Merry Christmas:) Regards, Poornima _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
