NAME

sysconfig: management of sysconfig files

DESCRIPTION

The sysconfig component manages system configuration files in /etc/sysconfig . These are files which contain key-value pairs. However there is the possibility to add verbatim text either before or after the key-value pair definitions.

FILE DEFINITIONS

• /software/components/sysconfig/files

  This is an nlist which has the file name (unescaped) as the key, and the content information as the value. The value is an nlist.

• /software/components/sysconfig/files/<fname>/

  This is a nlist containing key-value pairs. Both are strings. There are two special keys prologue and epilogue which contain text which will be copied verbatim into the file before or after the pair definitions, respectively.

EXAMPLE

"/software/components/sysconfig/files/scfg" =
  nlist("epilogue", "export LANG=C",
      "KEY", "VALUE");

This will create the file /etc/sysconfig/scfg which contains:

KEY=VALUE
export LANG=C
