Good day,
I was thinking about some functionality that would be useful in Augeas (or
maybe I don't know that they already exist :) ).
It might be useful for developers using the Augeas API to access the pattern
that Augeas is considering for values. For example, if a dev created a
graphical interface using Augeas, they might want to check the values
provided by users against the regexp describing these values. Such a
function could have a syntax like 'pattern(path)'
pattern("/files/etc/logrotate.d/apache2/rule/file")
=> /[^,# \n\t{}]+/
This kind of check could also be performed internally by Augeas on request
through the API, using a check(path, value) function similar to set :
check("/files/etc/logrotate.d/apache2/rule/file", "afile")
=> true
check("/files/etc/logrotate.d/apache2/rule/file", "my value")
=> false
