NAME

Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config - Parse and create ISC DHCPd config

SYNOPSIS

use Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config;

my $config = Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config->new(
                 file => '/etc/dhcpd3/dhcpd.conf',
             );

# parse the config
$config->parse;

# parsing includes are lazy
for my $include ($config->includes) {
    $include->parse;
}

print $config->includes->[0]->hosts->[0]->dump;

$config->add_host({
    name => 'foo',
    filenames => [{ file => 'pxelinux.0' }],
});

if($config->find_hosts({ name => 'foo' })) {
    say "Found host by name='foo'";
}
if($config->remove_includes({ file => 'some/file' })) {
    say "Removed included file by file='some/file'";
}

print $config->generate;

DESCRIPTION

An object constructed from this class represents the config for a given dhcpd server. The config file passed on to the construted can either be read or written to. As shown in the "SYNOPSIS", the object has the method parse, which will read the config (line by line) and create the appropriate objects representing each part of the config. The result is an object graph where the objects has pointer back to the "parent" and any number of children of different types. (Ex: "hosts", "subnets", ...)

It is also possible to start from scratch with an empty object, and use any of the add_foo methods to create the object graph. After creating/modifying the graph, the actual config text can be retrieved using "generate".

This class does the role Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Root.

ATTRIBUTES

file

See "file" in Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Root.

parent

See "parent" in Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Role.

root

parent

This attribute is different from "parent" in Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Role: It holds an undefined value, which is used to indicate that this object is the top node in the tree. See Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Include if you want a different behavior.

children

See "children" in Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config::Role.
