This is v3 series should address all prior feedback from the last
iteration. If I forgot something please let me know. The changes that
went into this v3 and prior are listed below. You can fetch the goods on
my kernel.org xfsprogs-dev 20180524-own-parser branch [0].

Lemme know what ya'll think.

  Luis

[0] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/xfsprogs-dev.git/log/?h=20180524-own-parser

Changes on v3:

- Prefix errors on the configuration parsing with config file used and
  exact line.

- Use uint64_t throughout all parsers as requested.

- Parse the CLI early for -c as I originally had implemented this on v1
  but now platform_getoptreset() to reset the opts.

- Drop the enum for the source type for the configuration file type,
  note that since we rely on the stack to set the variables we should
  then always set the dft.src on main().

- Use getline() for fetching lines as requested

- Add a special iscomment() and isempty() to handle all space and
  comment parsing. Now when PARSE_INVALID issued we really mean it.

- Embrace latest bikeshed preferences:
	config.c, config.h, random function names

- Add man pages to be parsed via configure so that @sysconfigdir@ gets
  properly parsed

- get_confopts() now iterates over the known sections tab and gives you
  the right struct right away.

- Add respecification checks for a section.

- Add respecification checks for -c, -c is only allowed once.

- Add --sysconfigdir to debian/rules, note that if you *don't* set
  --sysconfigdir your man pages will end up with ${prefix}. We could
  add a secondary target parsing just in case, or we can do some hacks
  with autoconf for this, but I don't think its worth it. Other packages
  deal with this by having ./configure always run with --sysconfigdir
  set (see systemd for instance).

- Reduced the number of declared enums, only enums for the config
  subparams which are currently supported for parsing are declared.

- mkfs.xfs -c foo now will search for $PWD/foo and if that fails the
  sysconfigdir/mkfs.xfs.d/foo.

- mkfs.xfs -c ../foo works and so should ./foo, etc.

- The MKFS_XFS_CONFIG variable support was dropped in favor or just
  allowing the user to specify the full path now.

- Embraces xfsprogs coding style, c'est la vie.

Changes on v2:

- Stayed with our own parser as its the smallest and we're willing to
  maintain it as its simple and clear.

- Use -c for the configuration file, and drop the "type" nomenclature to
  avoid confusion on the interwebs.

- Start to split files off

- Duplicate a bit of items as suggested at LSFMM for the configuration
  parser structures. We can later consolidate if we think its really
  needed, however we want the freedom to change these as we see fit and
  most importantly keep the code apart.
                                                                                                                                                                                              
- Conflict resolution and validation is managed now by piggy backing off
  of the idea of using the defaults to instantiate CLI parameters. CLI
  always overrides.

Luis R. Rodriguez (4):
  mkfs: distinguish between struct sb_feat_args and struct cli_params
  mkfs: move shared config structs and into their own headers
  mkfs.xfs: add configuration file parsing support using our own parser
  debian/rules: use the new sysconfdir configuration setting

The struct sb_feat_args will actually be shared between the code which
processes command line options and the configuration file, as such we
need to clarify and reflect this clearly in documentation.

Both struct sb_feat_args and struct mkfs_default_params will be shared
between CLI processing and the configuration file processing added later,
so move these to their own header.

This will help ensure we split things neatly later and also will help
ensure the configuration file processing code from the CLI code are kept
separate and cannot touch each other's data structures. This also makes
it clear what is actually shared between both.

There are no introduced functional changes in this commit and no
documentation changes, this is just code shuffling.

You may want to stick to specific set of configuration options when
creating filesystems with mkfs.xfs -- sometimes due to pure technical
reasons, but some other times to ensure systems remain compatible as
new features are introduced with older kernels, or if you always want
to take advantage of some new feature which would otherwise typically
be disruptive.

This adds support for parsing a configuration file to override defaults
parameters to be used for mkfs.xfs.

We define an XFS configuration directory, /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/ and allow for
different configuration files, if none is specified we look for the
default configuration file, /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/default. You can override
with -c.  For instance, if you specify:

	mkfs.xfs -c experimental -f /dev/loop0

The search path for the configuration file will be:

	1) $PWD/experimental
	2) /etc/mkfs.xfs.d/experimental

Absolute paths are supported, in which case they will be used directly
and the mkfs.xfs.d directory is ignored.

To verify what configuration file is used on a system use the typical:

  mkfs.xfs -N

There is only a subset of options allowed to be set on the configuration
file. The default parameters you can override on a configuration file and
their current built-in default settings are:

[data]
noalign=0

[inode]
align=1
projid32bit=1
sparse=0

[log]
lazy-count=1

[metadata]
crc=1
finobt=1
rmapbt=0
reflink=0

[naming]
ftype=1

[rtdev]
noalign=0

+mkfs.xfs.d \- mkfs.xfs configuration directory
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+uses a set of initial default parameters for configuration.
+
+The built-in mkfs defaults are decided by the XFS community. New features are
+only enabled by default when the community consider it stable.  One can
+override these defaults on the
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+command line, but there are cases where it is desirable for the distro or the
+system administrator to establish their own supported defaults in a uniform
+manner, regardless of the version of
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+used. This may desirable for example on systems with old kernels
+where the built-in default
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+parameters create a filesystem that is not supported by the old kernel.
+In such situations it would also be unclear what parameters are needed to
+produce a compatible filesystem, having a configuration file present ensures
+that if newer versions of
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+are deployed, creating a filesystem will remain compatible. Overriding
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+built-in defaults may also be desirable if you have a series of systems with
+different kernels and want to be able to create filesystems which all systems
+are able to support properly.
+.PP
+The XFS configuration directory
+.B mkfs.xfs.d (5)
+can be used as a home to define different configuration files which can be used
+to override the built-in default parameters by
+.B mkfs.xfs (8).
+If the
+.B -c
+parameter is not used, the default configuration file:
+.IP
+.I @sysconfdir@/mkfs.xfs.d/default
+.PP
+will be looked for first and if present will be used to override
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+built-in default parameters.
+.PP
+You can override the configuration file by specifying its name when using
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+by using the
+.B -c
+parameter.
+.PP
+If a relative path without the special character '.' is passed,
+the configuration file is first looked for in you current working directory;
+if the configuration file is not present in your current working directory
+the configuration file with the name given is looked in the
+.B mkfs.xfs.d (5)
+directory.
+.PP
+If
+.B -c
+is used with relative path with which has a leading '.' character, the given
+path is used directly, so the configuration file will be relative to your
+current directory.
+.PP
+If
+.B -c
+is used with an absolute path -- a path with a leading '/' character --
+then the absolute path given is used for the configuration file.
+.PP
+For example:
+.IP
+.B mkfs.xfs -c experimental -f /dev/sda1
+.PP
+Will make
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+look for the following configuration files and use the first one it finds:
+.IP
+.B $PWD/experimental
+.br
+.B @sysconfdir@/mkfs.xfs.d/experimental
+.PP
+If you used an absolute path, for example:
+.IP
+.B mkfs.xfs -c /tmp/experimental -f /dev/sda1
+.PP
+Then only the configuration file /tmp/experimental will be looked for and
+used if present.
+.PP
+If you use the
+.B -c
+parameter the configuration file must be present and must parse correctly.
+.PP
+Parameters passed to the
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+command line always override any defaults set on the configuration file used.
+.PP
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+will always describe what configuration file was used, if any
+was used at all. To verify which configuration file would be used prior to
+execution of
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+you can use
+.I mkfs.xfs -N.
+.PP
+.SH DEFAULT PARAMETERS
+Default parameters for
+.B mkfs.xfs (8)
+consists of a small subset of the parameters one can set with on the command
+line. Currently all default parameters can only be either enabled or disabled,
+you can set their value to 1 to enable or 0 to disable. Below we list the
+different supported default parameters which can be defined on configuration
+files, along with the current built-in setting.

Building the manpages as part of configure?  That's clever. :)

> +.SH NAME
> +mkfs.xfs.d \- mkfs.xfs configuration directory
> +.SH DESCRIPTION
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +uses a set of initial default parameters for configuration.
> +
> +The built-in mkfs defaults are decided by the XFS community. New features are
> +only enabled by default when the community consider it stable.  One can

"...consider them stable."

> +override these defaults on the
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +command line, but there are cases where it is desirable for the distro or the
> +system administrator to establish their own supported defaults in a uniform
> +manner, regardless of the version of
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +used. This may desirable for example on systems with old kernels

"This may be desirable..."

> +where the built-in default
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +parameters create a filesystem that is not supported by the old kernel.
> +In such situations it would also be unclear what parameters are needed to
> +produce a compatible filesystem, having a configuration file present ensures
> +that if newer versions of
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +are deployed, creating a filesystem will remain compatible. Overriding
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +built-in defaults may also be desirable if you have a series of systems with
> +different kernels and want to be able to create filesystems which all systems
> +are able to support properly.
> +.PP
> +The XFS configuration directory
> +.B mkfs.xfs.d (5)
> +can be used as a home to define different configuration files which can be used
> +to override the built-in default parameters by
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8).
> +If the
> +.B -c
> +parameter is not used, the default configuration file:
> +.IP
> +.I @sysconfdir@/mkfs.xfs.d/default
> +.PP
> +will be looked for first and if present will be used to override
> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)
> +built-in default parameters.
> +.PP
> +You can override the configuration file by specifying its name when using

"...override the default configuration file...", right?

> +.B mkfs.xfs (8)

> +.PP
> +If a relative path without the special character '.' is passed,

"If the path does not start with a '.', the current working directory is
searched for the file.  If the file is not found there, the mkfs.xfs.d(5)
directory is searched for the file." ?

> +the configuration file is first looked for in you current working directory;

"...relative to the current working directory."

(Trying to be consistent with 'current working directory'.)

> +.PP

"If the -c argument starts with a '/', it is considered an absolute
path, and opened." ?

(dunno about that...)

We ought to have a comment in the same place that we define the builtin
defaults warning would-be patch authors to ensure that they update this
manpage.

If I have two [data] sections, will this resuilt in:

Section 'data' respecified
Invalid section on line foo:1 [data]

?

The section isn't invalid, it's just double-specified, so...

I've applied all the recommendations for the man page updates you
provided. More below on the code questions.

Yeah.

I've fixed this, now we get:

ergon:~ # mkfs.xfs -f /dev/loop5 -c bar 
Section 'metadata' respecified
Error parsing command line config file: bar : Invalid argument

Or move the respecification error message check to the switch
statement handlig the section. I went with the later.

No, I had tried it, it looks odd still, if the user specified -c foo,
the output should show ./foo, not just foo.

Groovy. I'll wait for others to comment otherwise I can spin up 4th
