NAME

       cdist-type__uci_section - Manage configuration sections in UCI

DESCRIPTION

       This  cdist  type can be used to replace whole configuration sections in OpenWrt's Unified
       Configuration Interface (UCI) system.  It  can  be  thought  of  as  syntactic  sugar  for
       cdist-type__uci(7),  as  this  type  will  generate the required __uci objects to make the
       section contain exactly the options specified using --option.

       Since many default UCI sections are unnamed, this type allows to find the matching section
       by one of its options using the --match parameter.

       NOTE:  Options  already present on the target and not listed in --option or --list will be
       deleted.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       None.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       list   An option that is part of a list and should be present in the section (as part of a
              list).   Lists  with  multiple  options can be expressed by using the same <option>
              repeatedly.

              The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string.

              <value> does not need special quoting for UCI.  The only requirement  is  that  the
              value is passed to the type as a single shell argument.

       match  Allows to find a section to "replace" through one of its parameters.

              The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string.

       option An  option  that  should  be  present  in  the section.  This parameter can be used
              multiple times to specify multiple options.

              The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string.

              <value> does not need special quoting for UCI.  The only requirement  is  that  the
              value is passed to the type as a single shell argument.

       state  present or absent, defaults to present.

       type   The type of the section in the format: <config>.<section-type>

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

       None.
