Fixes #11. After changing the directory to the root directory specified, we want to call lstat on a relative path, instead of joining the full root path with the file name. Signed-off-by: Stephen Chung <schung@redhat.com> |

go-mtree
mtree is a filesystem hierarchy validation tooling and format.
This is a library and simple cli tool for mtree(8) support.
While the traditional mtree cli utility is primarily on BSDs (FreeBSD,
openBSD, etc), but even broader support for the mtree specification format is
provided with libarchive (libarchive-formats(5)).
There is also an mtree port for Linux though it is not widely packaged for Linux distributions.
Format
The format of hierarchy specification is consistent with the # mtree v2.0
format. Both the BSD mtree and libarchive ought to be interoperable with it
with only one definite caveat. On Linux, extended attributes (xattr) on
files are often a critical aspect of the file, holding ACLs, capabilities, etc.
While FreeBSD filesystem do support extattr, this feature has not made its
way into their mtree.
This implementation of mtree supports an additional "keyword" of xattr. If
you include this keyword, then the FreeBSD mtree will fail as it is an
unknown keyword to that implementation.
Typical form
With the standard keywords, plus say sha256digest, the hierarchy
specification looks like:
# .
/set type=file nlink=1 mode=0664 uid=1000 gid=100
. size=4096 type=dir mode=0755 nlink=6 time=1459370393.273231538
LICENSE size=1502 mode=0644 time=1458851690.0 sha256digest=ef4e53d83096be56dc38dbf9bc8ba9e3068bec1ec37c179033d1e8f99a1c2a95
README.md size=2820 mode=0644 time=1459370256.316148361 sha256digest=d9b955134d99f84b17c0a711ce507515cc93cd7080a9dcd50400e3d993d876ac
[...]
See the directory presently in, and the files present. Along with each
path, is provided the keywords and the unique values for each path. Any common
keyword and values are established in the /set command.
Extended attributes form
# .
/set type=file nlink=1 mode=0664 uid=1000 gid=1000
. size=4096 type=dir mode=0775 nlink=6 time=1459370191.11179595 xattr.security.selinux=6b53fb56e2e61a6c6d672817791db03ebe693748
LICENSE size=1502 time=1458851690.583562292 xattr.security.selinux=6b53fb56e2e61a6c6d672817791db03ebe693748

[...]
See the keyword prefixed with xattr. followed by the extended attribute's
namespace and keyword. This setup is consistent for use with Linux extended
attributes as well as FreeBSD extended attributes.
Since extended attributes are an unordered hashmap, this approach allows for
checking each <namespace>.<key> individually.
The value is the SHA1 digest of the value of the particular extended attribute. Since the values themselves could be raw bytes, this approach both avoids issues with encoding, as well as issues of information leaking. The designation of SHA1 is arbitrary and seen as a general "good enough" assertion of the value.
Usage
To use the Go programming language library, see the docs.
To use the command line tool, first build it, then the following.
Create a manifest
This will also include the sha512 digest of the files.
gomtree -c -K sha512digest -p . > /tmp/mtree.txt
Validate a manifest
gomtree -p . -f /tmp/mtree.txt
See the supported keywords
gomtree -l
