Kyle Evans 5b7803a993 libbe(3): Impose dataset length restrictions on boot env name validation 
Previously, we only validated names for character restrictions. This is
helpful, but we should've also checked length restrictions- dataset names
must be restricted to MAXNAMELEN.

While here, move validation before doing a bunch of concatenations and fix
error handling in be_rename. It was previously setting the error state based
on return value from a libzfs function, which is wrong: libzfs errors don't
necessarily match cleanly to libbe errors. This would cause the assertion in
be_error to hit when the error was printed.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
interfaces with libzfs to provide a set of functions for various operations
regarding ZFS boot environments including "deep" boot environments in which
a boot environments has child datasets.
.Pp
A context structure is passed to each function, allowing for a small amount
of state to be retained, such as errors from previous operations.
.Nm
may be configured to print the corresponding error message to
.Dv stderr
when an error is encountered with
.Fn libbe_print_on_error .
.Pp
All functions returning an
.Vt int
return 0 on success, or a
.Nm
errno otherwise as described in
.Sx DIAGNOSTICS .
.Pp
The
.Fn libbe_init
function initializes
.Nm ,
returning a
.Vt "libbe_handle_t *"
on success, or
.Dv NULL
on error.
An error may occur if:
.Bl -column
.It /boot and / are not on the same filesystem and device,
.It libzfs fails to initialize,
.It The system has not been properly booted with a ZFS boot
environment,
.It Nm
fails to open the zpool the active boot environment resides on, or
.It Nm
fails to locate the boot environment that is currently mounted.
.El
.Pp
The
.Fn libbe_close
function frees all resources previously acquired in
.Fn libbe_init ,
invalidating the handle in the process.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_active_name
function returns the name of the currently booted boot environment,
.Pp
The
.Fn be_active_path
function returns the full path of the currently booted boot environment.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_nextboot_name
function returns the name of the boot environment that will be active on reboot.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_nextboot_path
function returns the full path of the boot environment that will be
active on reboot.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_root_path
function returns the boot environment root path.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_create
function creates a boot environment with the given name.
It will be created from a snapshot of the currently booted boot environment.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_create_from_existing
function creates a boot environment with the given name from the name of an
existing boot environment.
A snapshot will be made of the base boot environment, and the new boot
environment will be created from that.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_create_from_existing_snap
function creates a boot environment with the given name from an existing
snapshot.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_rename
function renames a boot environment.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_activate
function makes a boot environment active on the next boot.
If the
.Fa temporary
flag is set, then it will be active for the next boot only, as done by
.Xr zfsbootcfg 8 .
Next boot functionality is currently only available when booting in x86 BIOS
mode.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_destroy
function will recursively destroy the given boot environment.
It will not destroy a mounted boot environment unless the
.Dv BE_DESTROY_FORCE
option is set in
.Fa options .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_nicenum
function will format
.Fa name
in a traditional ZFS humanized format, similar to
.Xr humanize_number 3 .
This function effectively proxies
.Fn zfs_nicenum
from libzfs.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_mount
function will mount the given boot environment.
If
.Fa mountpoint
is
.Dv NULL ,
a mount point will be generated in
.Pa /tmp
using
.Xr mkdtemp 3 .
If
.Fa result
is not
.Dv NULL ,
it should be large enough to accommodate
.Dv BE_MAXPATHLEN
including the null terminator.
the final mount point will be copied into it.
Setting the
.Dv BE_MNT_FORCE
flag will pass
.Dv MNT_FORCE
to the underlying
.Xr mount 2
call.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_mounted_at
function will check if there is a boot environment mounted at the given
.Fa path .
If
.Fa details
is not
.Dv NULL ,
it will be populated with a list of the mounted dataset's properties.
This list of properties matches the properties collected by
.Fn be_get_bootenv_props .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_unmount
function will unmount the given boot environment.
Setting the
.Dv BE_MNT_FORCE
flag will pass
.Dv MNT_FORCE
to the underlying
.Xr mount 2
call.
.Pp
The
.Fn libbe_errno
function returns the
.Nm
errno.
.Pp
The
.Fn libbe_error_description
function returns a string description of the currently set
.Nm
errno.
.Pp
The
.Fn libbe_print_on_error
function will change whether or not
.Nm
prints the description of any encountered error to
.Dv stderr ,
based on
.Fa doprint .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_root_concat
function will concatenate the boot environment root and the given boot
environment name into
.Fa result .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_validate_name
function will validate the given boot environment name for both length
restrictions as well as valid character restrictions.
This function does not set the internal library error state.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_validate_snap
function will validate the given snapshot name.
The snapshot must have a valid name, exist, and have a mountpoint of
.Pa / .
This function does not set the internal library error state.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_exists
function will check whether the given boot environment exists and has a
mountpoint of
.Pa / .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_export
function will export the given boot environment to the file specified by
.Fa fd .
A snapshot will be created of the boot environment prior to export.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_import
function will import the boot environment in the file specified by
.Fa fd ,
and give it the name
.Fa be_name .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_prop_list_alloc
function allocates a property list suitable for passing to
.Fn be_get_bootenv_props ,
.Fn be_get_dataset_props ,
or
.Fn be_get_dataset_snapshots .
It should be freed later by
.Fa be_prop_list_free .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_get_bootenv_props
function will populate
.Fa be_list
with
.Vt nvpair_t
of boot environment names paired with an
.Vt nvlist_t
of their properties.
The following properties are currently collected as appropriate:
.Bl -column "Returned name"
.It Sy Returned name Ta Sy Description
.It dataset Ta -
.It name Ta Boot environment name
.It mounted Ta Current mount point
.It mountpoint Ta Do mountpoint Dc property
.It origin Ta Do origin Dc property
.It creation Ta Do creation Dc property
.It active Ta Currently booted environment
.It used Ta Literal Do used Dc property
.It usedds Ta Literal Do usedds Dc property
.It usedsnap Ta Literal Do usedrefreserv Dc property
.It referenced Ta Literal Do referenced Dc property
.It nextboot Ta Active on next boot
.El
.Pp
Only the
.Dq dataset ,
.Dq name ,
.Dq active ,
and
.Dq nextboot
returned values will always be present.
All other properties may be omitted if not available.
.Pp
The
.Fn be_get_dataset_props
function will get properties of the specified dataset.
.Fa props
is populated directly with a list of the properties as returned by
.Fn be_get_bootenv_props .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_get_dataset_snapshots
function will retrieve all snapshots of the given dataset.
.Fa snap_list
will be populated with a list of
.Vt nvpair_t
exactly as specified by
.Fn be_get_bootenv_props .
.Pp
The
.Fn be_prop_list_free
function will free the property list.
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
