Please be aware I am NOT subscribed to grub-devel.

Customers and users of the kernel are commenting that there is no way to update
a grub variable without copy and pasting the existing data.
For example,
[10:57 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv list
saved_entry=0
next_entry=
kernelopts=root=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 ignore_loglevel
[10:57 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv - set kernelopts="root=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 ignore_loglevel newarg"
[10:57 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv list
saved_entry=0
next_entry=
kernelopts=root=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 ignore_loglevel newarg
which is cumbersome.
Add functionality to add to an existing variable. For example,
[10:58 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv list
saved_entry=0
next_entry=
kernelopts=root=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 ignore_loglevel
[10:58 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv - set kernelopts+="newarg"
[10:59 AM root@intel-wildcatpass-07 grub-2.02]# ./grub-editenv list
saved_entry=0
next_entry=
kernelopts=root=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel_intel--wildcatpass--07-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_intel-wildcatpass-07/swap console=ttyS0,115200n81 ignore_loglevel newarg

grub_strcmp() instead of grub_strstr()?
Even if not what will happen if e.g. env file contains this line among others:

If grub_strcmp() then you do not need this...

Do we need (int) cast here?

Please start all comments with capital letter.

You do not need newsize here. Please drop it.

> + {
> + return -2; /* out of memory */
May I ask you to use proper GRUB errors, e.g. GRUB_ERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY here.
Please take a look at include/grub/err.h for more details.

grub_snprintf() is your friend.

This is not safe. What will happen if "p" points to the first character in argv[0]?

I am not sure why you need to zero this. Anyway, I think that you do not
need "add" variable and code can be optimized further. IMO you can use
one "if" and "continue". This should suffice to differentiate between
set and add/extend cases.

Hi Daniel, thanks for the valuable feedback.
After reading your comments I saw that using grub_envblk_iterate() to modify the
entry was easier than attempting to parse everything myself. I've added that to
my v2. Unfortunately this means I'm skipping over some of your comments which
are no longer applicable to v2.

The commandline is
./grub-editenv - set prarit="hello"
which results in
prarit=hello
In this case argv[0] is 'prarit=hello' and we really want to pass only 'prarit'
as the argument. The simple way this is done in the existing code is to write a
'0' to the equal sign.
Similarly,
./grub-editenv - set prarit+="hello"
I need to write a 0 to the plus sign and the equal sign, ie
*(p - 1) = 0;
*(p++) = 0;
While correct it is confusing to look at :). I'll think of another option for v2.
P.
