Module Augeas

module Augeas: sig .. end

type t 

Augeas library handle.

type flag = 

type error_code = 

type transform_mode = 

exception Error of error_code * string * string * string * string

This exception is thrown when the underlying Augeas library returns an error. The tuple represents:

• the Augeas error code
• the ocaml-augeas error string
• the Augeas error message
• the human-readable explanation of the Augeas error, if available
• a string with details of the Augeas error

type path = string 

A path expression.

Note in future we may replace this with a type-safe path constructor.

type value = string 

A value.

val create : string -> string option -> flag list -> t

create root loadpath flags creates an Augeas handle.

root is a file system path describing the location of the configuration files.

loadpath is an optional colon-separated list of directories which are searched for schema definitions.

flags is a list of flags.

val close : t -> unit

close handle closes the handle.

You don't need to close handles explicitly with this function: they will be finalized eventually by the garbage collector. However calling this function frees up any resources used by the underlying Augeas library immediately.

Do not use the handle after closing it.

val defnode : t -> string -> string -> string option -> int * bool

defnode t name expr value defines name whose value is the result of evaluating expr, which is a nodeset.

val defvar : t -> string -> string option -> int option

defvar t name expr defines name whose value is the result of evaluating expr, replacing the old value if existing. None as expr removes the variable name.

val get : t -> path -> value option

get t path returns the value at path, or None if there is no value.

val exists : t -> path -> bool

exists t path returns true iff there is a value at path.

val insert : t -> ?before:bool -> path -> string -> unit

insert t ?before path label inserts label as a sibling of path. By default it is inserted after path, unless ~before:true is specified.

val label : t -> path -> string option

label t path gets the label of path.

Returns Some value when path matches only one node, and that has an associated label.

val rm : t -> path -> int

rm t path removes all nodes matching path.

Returns the number of nodes removed (which may be 0).

val matches : t -> path -> path list

matches t path returns a list of path expressions of all nodes matching path.

val mv : t -> path -> path -> unit

mv t src dest moves a node.

val count_matches : t -> path -> int

count_matches t path counts the number of nodes matching path but does not return them (see Augeas.matches).

val save : t -> unit

save t saves all pending changes to disk.

val load : t -> unit

load t loads files into the tree.

val set : t -> path -> value option -> unit

set t path sets value as new value at path.

val setm : t -> path -> string option -> value option -> int

setm t base sub value sets value as new value for all the nodes under base that match sub (or all, if sub is None).

Returns the number of nodes modified.

val transform : t -> string -> string -> transform_mode -> unit

transform t lens file mode adds or removes (depending on mode) the transformation of the specified lens for file.

val source : t -> path -> path option

source t path returns the path to the node representing the file to which path belongs, or None if path does not represent any file.
