add ctrl_cmd_parse2() to return parsing errors

If a control command fails to parse, we so far discard specific error messages
and instead send just "Command parser error".

In ctrl_cmd_parse() we actually compose detailed error replies, but in the end
simply talloc_free() them and return NULL.

A first step to report these errors to the ctrl command issuer is to not return
NULL and instead return the cmd with type = CTRL_TYPE_ERROR. Add
ctrl_cmd_parse2() to return such instead of NULL.

To stay API compatible, provide ctrl_cmd_parse2() to return a cmd on errors.
ctrl_cmd_parse() retains identical behavior but becomes just a simple wrapper
around ctrl_cmd_parse2() which discards the cmd on error.

No need really to deprecate ctrl_cmd_parse() yet; especially as long as
compiler warnings might break jenkins builds.

libosmocore - set of Osmocom core libraries

This repository contains a set of C-language libraries that form the core infrastructure of many Osmocom Open Source Mobile Communications projects.

Historically, a lot of this code was developed as part of the OpenBSC project, but which are of a more generic nature and thus useful to (at least) other programs that we develop in the sphere of Free Software / Open Source mobile communications.

There is no clear scope of it. We simply move all shared code between the various Osmocom projects in this library to avoid code duplication.

The libosmcoore.git repository build multiple libraries:

  • libosmocore contains some general-purpose functions like select-loop abstraction, message buffers, timers, linked lists
  • libosmovty contains routines related to the interactive command-line interface called VTY
  • libosmogsm contains definitions and helper code related to GSM protocols
  • libosmoctrl contains a shared implementation of the Osmocom control interface
  • libosmogb contains an implementation of the Gb interface with its NS/BSSGP protocols
  • libosmocodec contains an implementation of GSM voice codecs
  • libosmocoding contains an implementation of GSM channel coding
  • libosmosim contains infrastructure to interface SIM/UICC/USIM cards
  • libosmotrau contains encoding/decoding functions for A-bis TRAU frames
