daemonized-mode: add interactive shell support

2020-04-06T17:51:30+00:00

set interactive mode as default to make it appear similar to cli approach,

$ targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.51
Entering targetcli interactive mode for daemonized approach.
Type 'exit' to quit.

/> pwd
/
/> cd /iscsi
/> pwd
/iscsi
/> exit

Here we introduce a new global option daemon_use_batch_mode for switching between
batch and interactive modes.

$ targetcli set global daemon_use_batch_mode=true
Parameter daemon_use_batch_mode is now 'true'.

$ targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.51
Entering targetcli batch mode for daemonized approach.
Enter multiple commands separated by newline and type 'exit' to run them
all in one go.

/> pwd
/> cd /iscsi
/> pwd
/
/iscsi

backup: global option to tune max no. of backup conf files

2017-12-20T07:28:06+00:00

Eg:
/> set global max_backup_files=1000
Parameter max_backup_files is now '1000'.

If 'max_backup_files' is set in /etc/target/targetcli.conf, then max value
between conf file setting and global option settings is considered.

At least grep finds no use of it. So let's remove it.

Document target parameters and attributes

2015-01-12T08:53:20+00:00

Parameters read from the config file system have the same generic
description that does not provide much information:

  > get parameter
  MaxBurstLength=262144
  ---------------------
  The MaxBurstLength parameter.

This patch provides a description for parameters and attributes by
adding 'ui_desc_parameters' and 'ui_desc_attributes' class members to
the UITPG, UINodeACL and UIStorageObject classes.

The description is read when the parameter is registered with
define_config_group_param(). It is displayed when the user invokes
`get parameter` or `get attribute`:

  > get parameter
  MaxBurstLength=262144
  ---------------------
  Maximum SCSI data payload in bytes in a Data-In or a solicited Data-Out iSCSI sequence.

This patch also declares the types of parameters. Thus, targetcli can
more efficiently check the parameters when they are set.

Add UI parameter type helper for "Yes" and "No" boolean values

2015-01-09T20:21:22+00:00

The iSCSI RFC defines boolean values as "Yes" and "No" and the LIO
iSCSI target follows this convention to store boolean iSCSI session
parameters (e.g. ImmediateData=Yes). So it makes sense to have a
dedicated helper to validate them in targetcli.
