LCFG profile querying

The new LCFG profile framework makes it simple to retrieve component and resource information from profiles stored in the various standard formats (XML, Berkeley DB and status files).

Loading a profile from XML, DB or status directory:


my $p = LCFG::Profile->new_from_xml(“example.xml”);


my $p = LCFG::Profile->new_from_bdb(“example.db”);


my $p = LCFG::Profile->new_from_status_dir(“/run/lcfg/status”);

Loading a component from a DB or status file:


my $c = LCFG::Profile::Component->new_from_bdb( “example.bdb”, “client” );


my $c = LCFG::Profile::Component->new_from_statusfile( “/run/lcfg/status/client” );

Retrieving a component (e.g. client) from the profile:


my $c = $p->find_component(“client”);

Retrieving a resource (e.g. client.components) from a component:


my $r = $c->find_resource(“components”);

Getting the resource value:


say $r->value;

For convenience, if the resource is a tag list then you can get the value as a perl list:


@comps = $r->value;
for my $comp (@comps) {

}
