Functions

func CatInitrds 

func CatInitrds(initrds ...io.ReaderAt) io.ReaderAt

CatInitrds concatenates initrds on first ReadAt call from a list of io.ReaderAts, pads them to a 512 byte boundary.

func Execute 

func Execute() error

Execute executes a previously loaded OSImage.

This will only work if OSImage.Load was called on some OSImage.

Types

type LinuxImage 

type LinuxImage struct {
	Name string

	Kernel  io.ReaderAt
	Initrd  io.ReaderAt
	Cmdline string
}

LinuxImage implements OSImage for a Linux kernel + initramfs.

func (*LinuxImage) Label 

func (li *LinuxImage) Label() string

Label returns either the Name or a short description.

func (*LinuxImage) Load 

func (li *LinuxImage) Load(verbose bool) error

Load implements OSImage.Load and kexec_load's the kernel with its initramfs.

func (*LinuxImage) String 

func (li *LinuxImage) String() string

String prints a human-readable version of this linux image.

type MultibootImage 

type MultibootImage struct {
	Name string

	Kernel  io.ReaderAt
	Cmdline string
	Modules []multiboot.Module
	IBFT    *ibft.IBFT
}

MultibootImage is a multiboot-formated OSImage, such as ESXi, Xen, Akaros, tboot.

func (*MultibootImage) Label 

func (mi *MultibootImage) Label() string

Label returns either Name or a short description.

func (*MultibootImage) Load 

func (mi *MultibootImage) Load(verbose bool) error

Load implements OSImage.Load.

func (*MultibootImage) String 

func (mi *MultibootImage) String() string

String implements fmt.Stringer.

type OSImage 

type OSImage interface {
	fmt.Stringer

	// Label is a name or short description for this OSImage.
	//
	// Label is intended for boot menus.
	Label() string

	// Load loads the OS image into kernel memory, ready for execution.
	//
	// After Load is called, call boot.Execute() to stop Linux and boot the
	// loaded OSImage.
	Load(verbose bool) error
}

OSImage represents a bootable OS package.
