NAME
CipUX - Common CipUX functions
VERSION
version 3.4.0.13
SYNOPSIS
use CipUX;
my $cipux = $CipUX->new();
my $max = $cipux->max(5,6);
Or use as base class:
use base(CipUX);
my $max = $self->max(5,6);
DESCRIPTION
Provides functions common to all CipUX classes and scripts.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
Constructor
my $cipux = CipUX->new();
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
The following functions will be exported by CipUX.
get_linewidth
Returns the CipUX line width.
perr
Prints an exception that variable name VARNAME was not used in subroutine API. This is
used to discover internal programming errors.
$cipux->perr('<NAME OF PARAMETER>');
$cipux->perr('<NAME OF PARAMETER>','<LINE NUMBER>');
Example:
$cipux->perr('parameter_x');
$cipux->perr('parameter_x', 98);
exc
Prints a CipUX default exception on STDERR and exits.
$self->exc({nr=>$nr, value=>$value, msg=>$msg });
config
Central function to retrieve config space.
my ($x_hr, $y_hr, $z_hr) = $self->config({config_ar=>$config_ar});
Local <NAME>_config subroutine should be use to fill $config_ar
Example:
sub task_config {
my $config_ar = [];
push @{$config_ar}, '/home/dummmy/cipux-task.conf';
my ($x_hr, $y_hr, $z_hr) =
$self->config({config_ar=>$config_ar});
return ($x_hr, $y_hr, $z_hr);
}
source
Incorporates a config file.
store_mattrvalue
Helper function for multiple getopt parameter with values.
store_attrvalue
Helper function for single getopt parameter with value.
homedir
This is an auxiliary method replacing ~ with $ENV{HGOME}.
Syntax:
my $file1 = $common->homedir($file2);
Example:
if $file1 = ~/.cipux/cipux-object.conf
and $ENV{HOME} = /root
then file2 = /root/.cipux/cipux-object.conf
lf
Laundering LDAP filter.
lp
Laundering passwords.
li
Laundering integer values.
l
Laundering of a scalar
my $scalar = $self->l($input);
h
Check if type is hash or hash reference.
my $hash_hr = $self->a($input_hr);
a
Check if type is array or array reference.
my $array_ar = $self->a($input_ar);
test_cli_option
Executes some basic test on command line option regarding a hash.
date_time
returns date time format of today
latin1_to_utf8
Converts latin to UTF-8 encoding.
login_prompt
Prints a login prompt on STDOUT.
password_prompt
Prints a password prompt on STDOUT.
random_password
Calculates and returns a relatively random password.
hash_password
Calculates and returns a hashed password.
min
Calculate the minimum of two integer values.
max
Calculate the maximum of two integer values.
out
Prints content to STDOUT.
_merge_array
Helper subroutine for _hash_merge_setup. It uses Array::Unique to return a merged unique
array reference.
_hash_merge_setup
Perform setup for Hash::Merge. The main change is that Arrays are also merged with uniq
values.
cfg_ext
Gets all supported extensions from Config::Any and remove non supported extensions.
cfg
Query the CipUX config space to load configuration in various formats.
0. Set cfgbase to "cipux" (+ "-$submodule" if not core module)
1. Set cfgpaths to...:
1. /usr/share/cipux/etc/$cfgbase.$ext
2. /usr/share/cipux/etc/$cfgbase.d/*.$ext
3. /etc/cipux/$cfgbase.$ext
4. /etc/cipux/$cfgbase.d/*.$ext
5. ~/.cipux/$cfgbase.$ext
2. Possible $ext are: cnf .conf .json .jsn .xml .yml .yaml .ini .pl .perl
#3. Optionally parse and validate uppercase "$cfgbase_cfg" environment
variable [fail if validation fails]
#4. Optionally parse and validate "cfg" commandline option
[fail if validation fails]
5. Resolve configfile list as cfgpaths, with "$cfgbase_cfg" and "cfg" appended
if there
6. Resolve bootstrap file through parsing and validating "bootstrap" option
from all available files in cfgpaths, later declaration overriding earlier
ones
7. Resolve all options through executing bootstrap file
#8. Optionally override subset of options through parsing and validating
environment variables starting with uppercase "$cfgbase_"
[fail if any validation fails]
9. Optionally override subset of options through parsing and validating all
options from all available files in cfgpaths [fail if any validation fails]
Notes about the above:
* Number with leading "#" are not implemented.
* config files are "layered", allowing overrides. Personal configfile
is included last, not first, and more locations are supported.
#* (subset of) options can be provided through ENV
#* commandline and environment options are validated as part of parsing
Recommendation:
Even if several formats are supported, that does not mean they are all suited for this
task.
* Some configuration formats for example are too simple to express the complex
cipux-task.perl configuration.
* The CPAN Perl modules used for this configuration space are rather young
Config::Any 2006 - 2009, Hash::Merge 2001 - 2009 and not every
configuration file type mixture was tested. As a recommendation, you should
not mix to many files and formats.
create_cache_dir_if_not_present
Creates a directory 'cipux' under /var/cache if not present. This is used to store
serialized objects.
iterate_config_space
Takes a single config file $cfg (can be undef, but must be present) and a string
representing the configuration base $cfgbase. It will then just use $cfg or it will find
out regarding to $cfgbase what files should be considered.
my $loadcfg_ar = $self->iterate_config_space(
{
cfg => $cfg,
cfgbase => $cfgbase,
}
);
returns a list of all configuration files which should be evaluated.
evaluate_config_space
Takes a araay ref to a list of configuration files $loadcfg_ar, preferably cunstructed by
iterate_config_space. It also taks a string $cache_dir to the temporary location of a
cache_dir. This value can be empty but not undef and has to be provided. It also require
the $cfgbase string, the "domain" of the configuration.
It will calculate for every config file the MD5sum for later comparison.
my $clean = $self->evaluate_config_space(
{
loadcfg_ar => $loadcfg_ar,
cache_dir => $cache_dir,
cfgbase => $cfgbase,
}
);
It will return 0 if changed files are found and 1 if no changed files are found.
