NAME

config-model-edit - Graphical model editor for Config::Model

SYNOPSIS

config-model-edit [options] -model Xorg

DESCRIPTION

config-model-edit will provides a Perl/Tk graphical interface to edit configuration models that will be used by Config::Model.

Config::Model is a general purpose configuration framework based on configuration models (See Config::Model for details).

This configuration model is also expressed as structured data. This structure data is structured and follow a set of rules which are described for humans in Config::Model.

The structure and rules documented in Config::Model are also expressed in a model in the files provided with Config::Model::Itself.

Hence the possibity to verify, modify configuration data provided by Config::Model can also be applied on configuration models using the same user interface as config-edit.

The model editor program is config-model-edit.

USAGE

By default, config-model-edit will try to load a model file from lib/Config/Model/models. If no model is found, config-model-edit will try to load installed models (i.e. located in /usr/share/perl/...).

Modified models will be saved (by default) in $PWD/lib/Config/Model/models/.

You can override this behavior with option -dir.

When you specify a -model options, only configuration models matching this options will be loaded. I.e.

config-model-edit -model Xorg

will load models Xorg (file Xorg.pl) and all other Xorg::* like Xorg::Screen (file Xorg/Screen.pl).

Options

-model

Mandatory option that specifies the configuration data to be edited. By default, installed models will be edited. If you are running E.g. this command:

config-edit -model Fstab

will look for /etc/config-model.d/Fstab.pl model file. See Config::Model for more details.

-verbose

Be (very) verbose

-debug

Provide debug infos.

-trace

Provides a full stack trace when exiting on error.

-force-load

Load file even if error are found in data. Bad data are discarded

-dot_diagram

Returns a dot file that represent the stucture of the configuration model. include are represented by solid lines. Class usage (i.e. config_class_name parameter) is represented by dashed lines. The name of the element is attached to the dashed line.

-save

Force a save of the model even if no edition was done. This option is useful to migrate a model when Config::Model model feature changes.
