AUGMATCH(1) Augeas AUGMATCH(1)

NAME

augmatch - inspect and match contents of configuration files

SYNOPSIS

augmatch [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

augmatch prints the tree that Augeas generates by parsing a configuration file, or only those parts of the tree that match a certain path expression. Parsing is controlled by lenses, many of which ship with Augeas. augmatch to select the correct lens for a given file automatically unless one is specified with the --lens option.

OPTIONS

Print all tree nodes, even ones without an associated value. Without this flag, augmatch omits these nodes from the output as they are usually uninteresting.
Only print the parts of the tree that exactly match the expression provided with --match and not any of the descendants of matching nodes.
Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The directories set here are searched before any directories specified in the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment variable, and before the default directories /usr/share/augeas/lenses and /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist.
Use LENS for the given file; without this option, augmatch tries to guess the lens for the file based on the file's name and path which only works for files in standard locations.
Print the name of the lens that will be used with the given file and exit.
Only print the parts of the tree that match the path expression EXPR. All nodes that match EXPR and their descendants will be printed. Use --exact to print only matching nodes but no descendants.
Use directory ROOT as the root of the filesystem. Takes precedence over a root set with the AUGEAS_ROOT environment variable.
Do not search any of the default directories for lenses. When this option is set, only directories specified explicitly with -I or specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be searched for modules.
Print only the value and not the label or the path of nodes.
Do not print anything. Exit with zero status if a match was found

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The file system root, defaults to '/'. Can be overridden with the -r command line option
Colon separated list of directories with lenses. Directories specified here are searched after any directories set with the -I command line option, but before the default directories /usr/share/augeas/lenses and /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist

EXAMPLES

  # print the tree for /etc/exports
  augmatch /etc/exports
  # show only the entry for a specific mount
  augmatch -m 'dir["/home"]' /etc/exports
  # show all the clients to which we are exporting /home
  augmatch -eom 'dir["/home"]/client' /etc/exports

EXIT STATUS

The exit status is 0 when there was at least one match, 1 if there was no match, and 2 if an error occurred.

FILES

Lenses and schema definitions in /usr/share/augeas/lenses and /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist
