RackMan::Format::Generic - Generate a file from a generic for a given RackObject

SYNOPSIS

on the command line:

rack write -G Generic -t input.tmpl -o %name%.conf device-name

$rackman->options->{template} = "path/to/input.tmpl";
$rackman->options->{output}   = "path/to/%name%.conf";

DESCRIPTION

This module is a generic file generator: it takes a template file as input, processes it and write the result on disk if a path was provided, otherwise on screen. As shown in the synopsis, this allows to use rack(1) as a simple generic templating processor.

CONFIGURATION

• path - specify the path of the output file; can be overriden by the --output option
