Mon::Protocol(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mon::Protocol(3)NAMEMon::Protocol - Methods for parsing / dumping a protocol block
SYNOPSIS
use Mon::Protocol;
DESCRIPTIONMETHODS
new Creates a new object. A hash can be supplied which sets the default
values. An example which contains all of the variables that you can
initialize:
$c = new Mon::Protocol;
dump_data
Returns the current internal structure as a string dump suitable
for passing to "parse_data".
"parse_data"
Parses a command block (from begin_block to end_block), as
generated by dump_data.
"type"(new_type)
Sets or returns the type of the current command block. See @TYPES
for valid type codes.
In the future, it is possible that this module will perform
additional checking based on the type, for now it is left to the
application to interpret this.
"get_section_list"
Returns an array containing all section names within the block.
"get_section"(section_name)
Returns a hash containing the key/value pairs of the specific
section.
"delete_section"(section_name)
Completely removes the specified section from the block.
"add_to_section"(section_name,$hash_ref)
Adds the key/value pairs in the hash to the specified section.
$foo->add_to_section("_hostgroup", { "ns1.baz.com" -> "ok" });
"delete_from_section"(section_name,$key)
Deletes the key/value pair from the section.
$foo->delete_from_section("_hostgroup", "ns1.baz.com");
"error"
Should any of the functions return an error (-1), this function can
be used to retrieve a more elaborate error message and to reset the
internal error state.
