Hi All,
I'm thinking that the original name *augprint* is easier to remember and
also seems to describe what the tool is doing, more so than augsuggest
I think I should rename this back to augprint even though it does more
than just the "print" a pathfrom augtool.
If run with -v or --verbose augprint (aka augsuggest) will output the
corresponding path+value from the augtool 'print' command, as comments.
So there is a strong correlation with 'print'.
Any thoughts or objections to renaming using augprint in preference to
augsuggest ?

George Hansper

Hi All,
I have re-written the existing Python program "augprint.py" in C.
I've called the new tool "augsuggest", and it is currently available
from:
https://github.com/georgehansper/augsuggest.c
Like augprint.py, augsuggest creates an augtool script for a given file.
The resulting script is intended to
- be able to recreate the original file
- make no changes if applied to the original file
- use path-expressions in preference to position-numbers
The resulting script requires Augeas version 1.13.0 to work properly,
but the output can still be a useful starting point when used with
earlier versions of Augeas.
For example, given a file /etc/hosts with the contents:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
augsuggest will produce the following output:
set /files/etc/hosts/seq::*[ipaddr='127.0.0.1']/ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
set /files/etc/hosts/seq::*[ipaddr='127.0.0.1']/canonical 'localhost'
set
/files/etc/hosts/seq::*[ipaddr='127.0.0.1']/alias[.='localhost.localdomain']
'localhost.localdomain'
set /files/etc/hosts/seq::*[ipaddr='127.0.0.1']/alias[.='localhost4']
'localhost4'
This output can be used to create idempotent augtool scripts with
little or no further editing when used with Augeas 1.13.0 or later.
