Subject: [kvm-unit-tests PATCH v2 8/8] lib: parse KUT_ENV= from command line into environ
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:04:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625140452.24159-1-gmazz@amazon.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609140901.95727-9-gmazz@amazon.de>
Add support for passing environment variables via the command line.
If any argv element starts with 'KUT_ENV=', the value after the '='
is parsed as a comma-separated list of KEY=VAL pairs and fed to
setup_env(). The KUT_ENV= argument is then removed from argv so
tests do not see it as a spurious positional argument.
Example: KUT_ENV=PARAM_1=VALUE_1,PARAM_2=VALUE_2
Signed-off-by: Giacomo Mazzola <gmazz@amazon.de>

Thanks for the review, Drew.
v1 -> v2:
- Moved setup_args_env() from lib/efi.c to lib/argv.c
- Use strncmp prefix match instead of strstr
- Shift argv down instead of swap-with-last to preserve order
- Drop redundant isspace check and COMMAND_LINE_SIZE cap
