Note

As there is a bug on RHEL6 that can cause segfault when executing fc-match command, we only parse the command output on RHEL7 before the bug is fixed.

Examples

>>> fc_match = shared[FCMatch]
>>> fc_match_info = fc_match[0]
>>> fc_match_info
{'fontformat': '"TrueType"(w)', 'family': '"DejaVu Sans"(s)'}
class insights.parsers.fc_match.FCMatch(context, extra_bad_lines=None)[source]

Bases: insights.core.CommandParser

Class to parse command /bin/fc-match -sv ‘sans:regular:roman’ family fontformat. This object provides the ‘ __getitem__’ and ‘__iter__’ methods to allow it to be used as a list to iterate over the data, e.g.:

>>> fc_match = shared[FCMatch]
>>> for item in fc_match:
>>>     print item["family"]
>>> fc_match_info = fc_match[0]
parse_content(content)[source]

This method must be implemented by classes based on this class.
