The ntfsprogs used to return failure when option --version or --help
was used, and this has triggered complains from distribution packagers
who use these options in packaging scripts.
With this patch, success is returned (same behavior as gcc).
The MS_* flags originated from system constants. However the flags
passed to ntfs_mount were really unrelated to the system constants and
many new MS_* flags had to be introduced as different features were
added to the library. Those flags had no counterparts in any system
APIs, so using the same naming scheme is inappropriate.
Instead, let's namespace these flags similarly to what has already been
done in ntfsprogs/libntfs earlier. This avoids any possible conflicts
with system constants.
The values of the flags themselves are kept the same as earlier, so
backward compatibility is retained.
Note: The NTFS_MNT_FORCE, in addition to what MS_RECOVER does, also bypasses the check for the 'dirty' bit in libntfs' ntfs_mount.
However, this check does not exist in libntfs-3g (libntfs-3g will not check or change the dirty bit, being confident that it can handle volumes marked as 'dirty'), so in essence the same behaviour is achieved with MS_RECOVER.
This is not a perfect conversion. The VOLUME_IS_DIRTY flag reflects the _current_ state of the volume dirty bit and not the mount-time state.
However, since libntfs-3g (as opposed to libntfs) does not automatically change the dirty bit on mount and unmount (only when ntfs_volume_write_flags is called explicitly), and these tests are done directly after a mount (ntfsclone.c, ntfscp.c, ntfsresize.c, ntfswipe.c, utils.c) or when the volume is in an appropriate state (ntfsfix.c), the result will be the same.
* Add new API: __ntfs_attr_truncate that allow user to select whether holes should be created or clusters allocated
* Update ntfs_attr_pwrite and ntfscp to use it.
volume.[hc]::ntfs_libntfs_version() which returns a pointer to a
static const string of the libntfs verion, i.e. at the moment this is
"8.0.0". This required moving the version specifications from
libntfs/Makefile.am to configure.ac. This should hopefully have the
sideeffect that I will remember to increment it when incrementing the
ntfsprogs version number when making a release given the two are
right under one another. (Anton)
- Change ALL utilities to display the libntfs version they are running
on. This should make debugging easier in the case that people are
running mismatched utilities/library. (Anton)

Now again...
Monster commit from me due to lack of time. Sorry about that.
Features:
- Version to 1.10.0
- Update readme, etc ready for release.
- Update build system to suse linux 9.3 versions.
- Fix warnings appearing for me on suse 9.3 with --enable-warnings --enable-debug.
- Set attr_name to NULL in libntfs/attrib.c::__ntfs_attr_init() and fixup all
callers apropriately. Thanks to FlatCap/Rich for pointing this out.
- Determine endianness in ./configure and use that in addition to existing
mechanisms for determining endianness.
