ZiplConf - configuration file for zipl

A parser file for parsing and extracting data from /etc/zipl.conf file.

Sample input:

This module contains one parser:

ZiplConf - file /etc/zipl.conf

Examples

>>> zipl_info['linux']['image']
'/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.el7.s390x'
>>> zipl_info.images
{'linux':'/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.el7.s390x','linux-0-rescue-a27932c8d57248e390cee3798bbd3709':'/boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-a27932c8d57248e390cee3798bbd3709'}
>>> zipl_info.dumptofses
{'dumpscsi':'/dev/sda2'}
>>> zipl_info[':menu1']['1']
'linux'
>>> 'defaultauto' in zipl_info['global']
True
>>> zipl_info['global']['defaultauto']
None

class insights.parsers.zipl_conf.ZiplConf(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: LegacyItemAccess, Parser

The zipl.conf file basically contains key-value pairs or single command based on the line. Section name is quoted with ‘[]’ and menu name is started with ‘:’.

Raises:

ParseException -- when the first active line is not a section

property dumptofses

Get all dumptofs items referenced in zipl configuration file

Returns:

Returns a dict of the section and dumptofs names referenced

in zipl configuration file

Return type:

(dict)

property images

Get all image items referenced in zipl configuration file

Returns:

Returns a dict of the section and image names referenced

in zipl configuration file

Return type:

(dict)

parse_content(content)

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