In principle, I fully agree with you, with two differences:
First, in addition to 'zstyle -t … gain-root' and
'(( $+funcstack[(r)_sudo] ))' as the conditions for invoking sudo,
I think a third alternative is to use _call_program and let the user set
the 'command' style to '-sudo'.
Secondly, you don't touch on what we would do when the 'gain-root' style
is unset. Given Marko's later email that virt-admin is not usable by
non-root users, perhaps we should do this:
.
if (( EUID == 0 )); then
# call 'virt-admin'
elif The 'gain-root' or 'command' style is set; then
# call virt-admin with sudo (or whatever the style prescribes)
else
_message "zsh: _libvirt: can't list completions because the 'gain-root' style is unset"
return 1
fi
.
?
The error message can also include the 'zstyle' incantation that sets
the style appropriately, to make it easier for the user.
Also, we should sanitize that $srv parameter before passing it to
a command run as root. I'm not sure how virt-admin's command-line
parser works: is there any possibility for $srv to be tokenised as
anything other than the argument of the --server option?
Cheers,
Daniel
