[PATCH] Add tools to show device information and relay the syslog

The name 'deviceinfo' is too generic. 'iphoneinfo' would be more suitable regarding that this tool (in a later revision) might be used for automounting.

Changed name to iphoneinfo and added some more information being dumped.

Also shows battery information now.

Excellent. Again, wondering that the name is too generic. What about 'iphonesyslogrelay' or combining into a more general 'lockdown command arguments' tool or straight merging into the 'iphonedump' tool, so eg:

iphonetool --dump-syslog

and perhaps a slight modification and instead of dumping to stdout instead /forwards/ the output via "syslog" to the local machine.

I did not care about the names since all lives in the dev/ directory which is not actually meant for distribution, contains "not clean" test tools and requires --enable-dev-tools to be passed to configure.

Updated patch below names the syslog relay tool to "iphonesyslog" for now which should be appropriate (one could add filters, forwarding, etc.).

The feature to forward to the local syslog should be possible to implement using a new cli option like "-l|--local" but requires some parsing of the relayed data as it seems. However, I wait with that until the usbmuxd stuff lands except if someone beats me to it.

I think it is good to keep it the UNIX way and rather have a couple of small tools which should enable people to come up with some creative bash stuff one didn't think of yet...

Extending the lckd-client tool might also be interesting.

Lockdown appears to differ between "Request" and "Command" calls. Each specific request/command identifier defines a specific set of required parameters thus a "signature" of the plist one needs to send:

@@@Request QueryType StartSession StopSession StartService Pair Unpair ValidatePair Activate Deactivate GetValue SetValue RemoveValue EnterRecovery Goodbye

One could extend the lckd-client to use requests/commands specified in it's prompt or from command line as in this examples:

@@@# ./lckd-client --send "Request:GetValue Domain:com.apple.mobile.battery Key:BatteryCurrentCapacity"
Domain:com.apple.mobile.battery
Key:BatteryCurrentCapacity
Request:GetValue
Result:Success
Value:90

# ./lckd-client
# >
# > send Request:GetValue Domain:com.apple.mobile.battery Key:BatteryCurrentCapacity
# Domain:com.apple.mobile.battery
# Key:BatteryCurrentCapacity
# Request:GetValue
# Result:Success
# Value:90
# > send Request:SetValue Domain:com.apple.mobile.debug Key:LogToDisk Value:1
# Domain:com.apple.mobile.debug
# Key:LogToDisk
# Request:SetValue
# Result:Success
# Value:1
# > send Request:EnterRecovery
# Request:EnterRecovery
# Result:Success
# Disconnected.

(If you are accidentally issue EnterRecovery like me: User the "reset device" key combination to reboot/escape into normal mode again.)

Hey Martin the first couple of patches you sent me were properly formatted to be read by git am but the last couple were in an odd format. Is there some switch that I can use to read them in?

Hmm, which patches do you mean exactly? Mind that the last posted patch with same filename is meant to "override" any prior posted one. They are not continuous thus the hash is different for each. They (hopefully) should be probably formatted for git am.

This patch works great: http://libiphone.lighthouseapp.c...

Your other patches are in an odd format, take a quick glance at them and you'll see what I mean.

(And yes I always took the latest patches from all the threads and didn't use the earlier patches that were named similarily)
