The justification for this is that 1) the options are
already documented in the API documentation and 2) the
class names are fairly self-explanatory, so adding short
descriptions doesn't add much.
In the future, however, we could add a short description
by simply using the first line or sentence of the docstring;
note that docstrings would have to be canonicalized, which
they aren't now.
When I changed the switch implementations to call super().stop(),
I neglected to include a Switch.stop() method which didn't call
terminate(). This broke switch s1 stop and s1.stop().
Fixes#497
specialClass is an analog of functools.partial but for classes.
We can now use it instead of partial() in mn, so that Mininet
can introspect on the actual base class.
Fixes#488
Previously, when creating multiple CLI objects, each one would append the
~/.mininet_history file to readline's internal list. When writing the file back
it would be duplicated for each CLI object created. So, over a few mininet runs
the history file would grow exponentially.
This change moves the readline setup code out of the CLI constructor into a
class method and adds a flag to prevent it from being executed more than once.
This was causing controlnet.py to not clean up its interfaces, since
those interfaces were linked from the controller to the switch
rather than vice-versa!!
deleteIntfs already will only delete interfaces whose names match
our name, which should usually prevent us from accidentally deleting
a hardware interface from the root namespace!
Since we already disable job notification with +m, it doesn't
make sense to set it in the original invocation!
It's also annoying if all of the host commands end up overwriting
your regular bash_history!!
