Peter Marschall a5b77939fb ifupdown: make parser for /etc/network/interfaces more robust ... The previous implementation of the parser for /etc/network/interfaces had quite a few drawbacks: - it expected the lines to be terminated with "\n", even the last line - it ignored line wraps with "\\" followed by "\n" - it expected over-long lines to be shorter than 510 characters - it ignored line wraps on over-long lines - it treated spaces and tabs differently - it did not make sure to really tokenize on word boundaries - it treated the equivalent stanzas "auto" and "allow-auto" differently - it ignored the fact that the "allow-*" stanzas can take multiple arguments that need to be separated to be recognized NetworkManager's processing later - it allowed "non-block" stanzas to appear before a block This patch is a rewrite of the parser to fix the issues mentioned: - it accepts the last line even if it is not terminated by "\n" - it skips over-long lines, emits a warning and even takes into account that over-long lines may be wrapped to next lines - it un-wraps wrapped lines - it uses spaces and tabs equivalently to tokenize the input - it treats "allow-auto" as a synonym to "auto" - it splits multi-argument "auto"/"allow-*" into multiple single-argument stanzas of the same type - it warns on data stanzas before the first block stanza		2010-08-12 22:41:05 -05:00
