## Types and Values

typedef | OstreeSysroot
enum | OstreeSysrootSimpleWriteDeploymentFlags

## Description

A OstreeSysroot object represents a physical root filesystem, which in particular should contain a toplevel /ostree directory. Inside this directory is an OstreeRepo in /ostree/repo, plus a set of deployments in /ostree/deploy.

This class is not by default safe against concurrent use by threads or external processes. You can use `ostree_sysroot_lock()` to perform locking externally.

## Functions

### ostree_sysroot_new ()

    OstreeSysroot *
    ostree_sysroot_new (GFile *path);

Create a new OstreeSysroot object for the sysroot at `path` . If `path` is `NULL`, the current visible root file system is used, equivalent to `ostree_sysroot_new_default()`.

#### Parameters

path | Path to a system root directory, or `NULL` to use the current visible root file system. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

An accessor object for an system root located at `path` .

[transfer full]

### ostree_sysroot_new_default ()

    OstreeSysroot *
    ostree_sysroot_new_default (void);

#### Returns

An accessor for the current visible root / filesystem.

[transfer full]

### ostree_sysroot_initialize ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_initialize (OstreeSysroot *self,
                               GError **error);

Subset of `ostree_sysroot_load()`; performs basic initialization. Notably, one can invoke ``ostree_sysroot_get_fd()`` after calling this function.

It is not necessary to call this function if `ostree_sysroot_load()` is invoked.

#### Parameters

self | sysroot |

Since: 2020.1

### ostree_sysroot_initialize_with_mount_namespace ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_initialize_with_mount_namespace
                                   (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GError **error);

Prepare the current process for modifying a booted sysroot, if applicable. This function subsumes the functionality of `ostree_sysroot_initialize` and may be invoked wherever that function is.

If the sysroot does not appear to be booted, or where the current process is not uid 0, this function returns successfully.

Otherwise, if the process is in the same mount namespace as pid 1, create a new namespace.

If you invoke this function, it must be before `ostree_sysroot_load()`; it may be invoked before or after `ostree_sysroot_initialize()`.

Since: 2022.7

### ostree_sysroot_get_path ()

    GFile *
    ostree_sysroot_get_path (OstreeSysroot *self);

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |

#### Returns

Path to rootfs.

[transfer none][not nullable]

                         GCancellable *cancellable,
                         GError **error);

Load deployment list, bootversion, and subbootversion from the rootfs `self` .

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
cancellable | Cancellable |

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_lock (OstreeSysroot *self,
                         GError **error);

Acquire an exclusive multi-process write lock for `self` . This call blocks until the lock has been acquired. The lock is not reentrant.

Release the lock with `ostree_sysroot_unlock()`. The lock will also be released if `self` is deallocated.

#### Parameters

self | Self |
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_try_lock ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_try_lock (OstreeSysroot *self,

                             GError **error);

Try to acquire an exclusive multi-process write lock for `self` . If another process holds the lock, this function will return immediately, setting `out_acquired` to `FALSE`, and returning `TRUE` (and no error).

Release the lock with `ostree_sysroot_unlock()`. The lock will also be released if `self` is deallocated.

#### Parameters

self | Self |
out_acquired | Whether or not the lock has been acquired. | [out]
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_lock_async ()

    void
    ostree_sysroot_lock_async (OstreeSysroot *self,
                               GCancellable *cancellable,
                               GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                               gpointer user_data);

callback | Callback |
user_data | User data |

### ostree_sysroot_lock_finish ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_lock_finish (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                GAsyncResult *result,
                                GError **error);

Call when `ostree_sysroot_lock_async()` is ready.

#### Parameters

self | Self |
result | Result |
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_unlock ()

    void
    ostree_sysroot_unlock (OstreeSysroot *self);

Clear the lock previously acquired with `ostree_sysroot_lock()`. It is safe to call this function if the lock has not been previously acquired.

#### Parameters

self | Self |

### ostree_sysroot_unload ()

    void
    ostree_sysroot_unload (OstreeSysroot *self);

Release any resources such as file descriptors referring to the root directory of this sysroot. Normally, those resources are cleared by finalization, but in garbage collected languages that may not be predictable.

This undoes the effect of ``ostree_sysroot_load()``.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |

### ostree_sysroot_update_post_copy ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_update_post_copy (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                     GCancellable *cancellable,
                                     GError **error);

Update a sysroot as needed after having copied it into place using file-level operations. This enables options like fs-verity on the required files that may have been lost during the copy.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
error | Error |

Since: 2023.11

### ostree_sysroot_set_mount_namespace_in_use ()

    void
    ostree_sysroot_set_mount_namespace_in_use
                                   (OstreeSysroot *self);

If this function is invoked, then libostree will assume that a private Linux mount namespace has been created by the process. The primary use case for this is to have e.g. /sysroot mounted read-only by default.

If this function has been called, then when a function which requires writable access is invoked, libostree will automatically remount as writable any mount points on which it operates. This currently is just `/sysroot` and `/boot`.

If you invoke this function, it must be before `ostree_sysroot_load()`; it may be invoked before or after `ostree_sysroot_initialize()`.

Since: 2020.1

### ostree_sysroot_is_booted ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_is_booted (OstreeSysroot *self);

Can only be invoked after ``ostree_sysroot_initialize()``.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |

#### Returns

`TRUE` iff the sysroot points to a booted deployment

Since: 2020.1

### ostree_sysroot_get_fd ()

    int
    ostree_sysroot_get_fd (OstreeSysroot *self);

Access a file descriptor that refers to the root directory of this sysroot. `ostree_sysroot_initialize()` (or `ostree_sysroot_load()`) must have been invoked prior to calling this function.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |

#### Returns

A file descriptor valid for the lifetime of `self`

### ostree_sysroot_ensure_initialized ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_ensure_initialized (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                       GCancellable *cancellable,
                                       GError **error);

                                    GError **error);

Like `ostree_sysroot_cleanup()` in that it cleans up incomplete deployments and old boot versions, but does NOT prune the repository.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
cancellable | Cancellable |
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_cleanup_prune_repo ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_cleanup_prune_repo (OstreeSysroot *sysroot,

                                       GError **error);

Prune the system repository. This is a thin wrapper around `ostree_repo_prune_from_reachable()`; the primary addition is that this function automatically gathers all deployed commits into the reachable set.

You generally want to at least set the `OSTREE_REPO_PRUNE_FLAGS_REFS_ONLY` flag in `options` . A commit traversal depth of `0` is assumed.

Locking: exclusive

#### Parameters

sysroot | Sysroot |
options | Flags controlling pruning |
out_objects_total | Number of objects found. | [out]
out_objects_pruned | Number of objects deleted. | [out]
out_pruned_object_size_total | Storage size in bytes of objects deleted. | [out]

                                          gboolean is_pinned,
                                          GError **error);

By default, deployments may be subject to garbage collection. Typical uses of libostree only retain at most 2 deployments. If `is_pinned` is `TRUE`, a metadata bit will be set causing libostree to avoid automatic GC of the deployment. However, this is really an "advisory" note; it's still possible for e.g. older versions of libostree unaware of pinning to GC the deployment.

This function does nothing and returns successfully if the deployment is already in the desired pinning state. It is an error to try to pin the staged deployment (as it's not in the bootloader entries).

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
deployment | A deployment |
is_pinned | Whether or not deployment will be automatically GC'd |
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_write_deployments ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_write_deployments (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                      GPtrArray *new_deployments,

                                      GError **error);

Older version of `ostree_sysroot_write_deployments_with_options()`. This version will perform post-deployment cleanup by default.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
new_deployments | List of new deployments. | [element-type OstreeDeployment]
cancellable | Cancellable |
error | Error |

### ostree_sysroot_write_deployments_with_options ()

    gboolean
    ostree_sysroot_write_deployments_with_options
                                   (OstreeSysroot *self,
                                    GPtrArray *new_deployments,
                                    OstreeSysrootWriteDeploymentsOpts *opts,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GError **error);

Assuming `new_deployments` have already been deployed in place on disk via `ostree_sysroot_deploy_tree()`, atomically update bootloader configuration. By default, no post-transaction cleanup will be performed. You should invoke `ostree_sysroot_cleanup()` at some point after the transaction, or specify `do_postclean` in `opts` . Skipping the post-transaction cleanup is useful if for example you want to control pruning of the repository.

#### Parameters

self | Sysroot |
new_deployments | List of new deployments. | [element-type OstreeDeployment]
opts | Options |
cancellable | Cancellable |
error | Error |

                                    GError **error);

Prepend `new_deployment` to the list of deployments, commit, and cleanup. By default, all other deployments for the given `osname` except the merge deployment and the booted deployment will be garbage collected.

If `OSTREE_SYSROOT_SIMPLE_WRITE_DEPLOYMENT_FLAGS_RETAIN` is specified, then all current deployments will be kept.

If `OSTREE_SYSROOT_SIMPLE_WRITE_DEPLOYMENT_FLAGS_RETAIN_PENDING` is specified, then pending deployments will be kept.

If `OSTREE_SYSROOT_SIMPLE_WRITE_DEPLOYMENT_FLAGS_RETAIN_ROLLBACK` is specified, then rollback deployments will be kept.

If `OSTREE_SYSROOT_SIMPLE_WRITE_DEPLOYMENT_FLAGS_NOT_DEFAULT` is specified, then instead of prepending, the new deployment will be added right after the booted or merge deployment, instead of first.

If `OSTREE_SYSROOT_SIMPLE_WRITE_DEPLOYMENT_FLAGS_NO_CLEAN` is specified, then no cleanup will be performed after adding the deployment. Make sure to call `ostree_sysroot_cleanup()` sometime later, instead.

#### Parameters

sysroot | Sysroot |
osname | OS name. | [allow-none]
new_deployment | Prepend this deployment to the list |
merge_deployment | Use this deployment for configuration merge. | [allow-none]
flags | Flags controlling behavior |
cancellable | Cancellable |
error | Error |
