RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lingfei Kong 2014-05-23 03:16:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
I can get 541 APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish interactive model, but only 503 APIs can find in `guestfish -h` command list.

The lost 38 APIs:
 add
 add-drive-opts
 add-ro
 allocate
 append
 attach-method
 autosync
 cachedir
 direct
 domain
 emacs
 exit
 grep-opts
 less
 manual
 memsize
 mkfs-opts
 mkswap-opts
 network
 ntfsresize-opts
 path
 pgroup
 pid
 q
 qemu
 recovery-proc
 run
 selinux
 smp
 tar-in-opts
 tar-out-opts
 tmpdir
 trace
 umount-opts
 unmount
 unmount-all
 verbose
 vi

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.20.11-3.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
4. diff the APIs you get at step 1 and step 3


Actual results:
38 APIs appear in step 3 command list and not appear in step 1 command list


Expected results:
The command list of step 1 and step 3 are the same

Comment 5 Hu Zhang 2014-12-10 09:49:56 UTC 
Could reproduce the bug.

Packages Version:
libguestfs-1.20.11-12.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
   It returns 531 APIs.
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
   It returns 541 possible APIs.
So there is still a quantitative difference.

Not fixed.

Most of the difference is due to the -opts commands, which are not meant to be documented. See also bug 1100528, comment 2.

The other two commands not listed in -h are "exit" and "q", both aliases for "quit", which makes sense only in interactive mode (guestfish in non-interactive mode already quits on its own after the last command).

Moving back to ON_QA.
Comment 7 Hu Zhang 2015-03-10 07:07:34 UTC 
Verified with the package Version:
libguestfs-1.20.11-12.el6.x86_64

Reproduce steps:
1. Get all APIs by run command `guestfish -h`
   It returns 531 APIs.
2. Enter into guestfish interactive model
3. Get all the APIs by pressing <TAB> in guestfish command
   It returns 541 possible APIs.

According to the Comment #6, fixed.
