NAME

       augmatch - inspect and match contents of configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       augmatch [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION

       augmatch prints the tree that Augeas generates by parsing a configuration file, or only
       those parts of the tree that match a certain path expression. Parsing is controlled by
       lenses, many of which ship with Augeas. augmatch to select the correct lens for a given
       file automatically unless one is specified with the --lens option.

OPTIONS

       -a, --all
           Print all tree nodes, even ones without an associated value. Without this flag,
           augmatch omits these nodes from the output as they are usually uninteresting.

       -e, --exact
           Only print the parts of the tree that exactly match the expression provided with
           --match and not any of the descendants of matching nodes.

       -I, --include=DIR
           Add DIR to the module loadpath. Can be given multiple times. The directories set here
           are searched before any directories specified in the AUGEAS_LENS_LIB environment
           variable, and before the default directories /usr/share/augeas/lenses and
           /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist.

       -l, --lens=LENS
           Use LENS for the given file; without this option, augmatch tries to guess the lens for
           the file based on the file's name and path which only works for files in standard
           locations.

       -L, --print-lens
           Print the name of the lens that will be used with the given file and exit.

       -m, --match=EXPR
           Only print the parts of the tree that match the path expression EXPR. All nodes that
           match EXPR and their descendants will be printed. Use --exact to print only matching
           nodes but no descendants.

       -r, --root=ROOT
           Use directory ROOT as the root of the filesystem. Takes precedence over a root set
           with the AUGEAS_ROOT environment variable.

       -S, --nostdinc
           Do not search any of the default directories for lenses. When this option is set, only
           directories specified explicitly with -I or specified in AUGEAS_LENS_LIB will be
           searched for modules.

       -o, --only-value
           Print only the value and not the label or the path of nodes.

       -q, --quiet
           Do not print anything. Exit with zero status if a match was found

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       AUGEAS_ROOT
           The file system root, defaults to '/'. Can be overridden with the -r command line
           option

       AUGEAS_LENS_LIB
           Colon separated list of directories with lenses. Directories specified here are
           searched after any directories set with the -I command line option, but before the
           default directories /usr/share/augeas/lenses and /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist

EXAMPLES

         # print the tree for /etc/exports
         augmatch /etc/exports

         # show only the entry for a specific mount
         augmatch -m 'dir["/home"]' /etc/exports

         # show all the clients to which we are exporting /home
         augmatch -eom 'dir["/home"]/client' /etc/exports

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 when there was at least one match, 1 if there was no match, and 2 if
       an error occurred.

FILES

       Lenses and schema definitions in /usr/share/augeas/lenses and
       /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist
