|
|
<p>Explorer are small shell scripts, which will be executed on the target
|
|
host. The aim of the explorer is to give hints to types on how to act on the
|
|
target system. An explorer outputs the result to stdout, which is usually
|
|
a one liner, but may be empty or multi line especially in the case of
|
|
type explorers.</p>
|
|
<p>There are general explorers, which are run in an early stage, and
|
|
type explorers. Both work almost exactly the same way, with the difference
|
|
that the values of the general explorers are stored in a general location and
|
|
the type specific below the object.</p>
|
|
<p>Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system by calling</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$__explorer/<explorer_name> (general and type explorer)
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>or</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$__type_explorer/<explorer name> (type explorer).
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>In case of significant errors, the explorer may exit non-zero and return an
|
|
error message on stderr, which will cause cdist to abort.</p>
|
|
<p>You can also use stderr for debugging purposes while developing a new
|
|
explorer.</p>

<h2>14.2. Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#examples" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>A very simple explorer may look like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">hostname</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Which is in practise the <strong>hostname</strong> explorer.</p>
|
|
<p>A type explorer, which could check for the status of a package may look like this:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">if</span> <span class="o">[</span> -f <span class="s2">"</span><span class="nv">$__object</span><span class="s2">/parameter/name"</span> <span class="o">]</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="k">then</span>

|
<span class="nv">name</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"</span><span class="k">$(</span>cat <span class="s2">"</span><span class="nv">$__object</span><span class="s2">/parameter/name"</span><span class="k">)</span><span class="s2">"</span>
