pars

A gem that provides parse routines for various linux file formats. A lot of config and backup file formats on linux can be parsed into simple data structures. The goal here is to write real grammars for things like lvmbackups and xenstore-ls output so we can access the data easily in Ruby. We're using treetop for the fun ones.

Supported Files/Output from shell commands

  • output generated by 'xm info' and 'xm list' on xen boxes
  • output generated from 'xenstore-ls' on xen boxes
  • lvm_backup files
  • monit's xml status page

Specs

Please run the specs if hack on this. Rake or autotest should both work fine.
