[TOC]
----
### I. Build Format
Your whole setup remains in 1 only build file. Each line contains one instruction, the list of instructions is listed below.
#### 1) package management
These instructions allow you to interact with the package system available on your system.
```
ins <packages>
```
Install the listed packages. If more than one, use spaces to separate package names.
```
upd
```
Update/upgrade your system.
```
del <packages>
```
Remove the listed packages. If more than one, use spaces to separate package names.
#### 3) update configuration files
This instruction allow you to update configuration files without the need of an editor and in a developer-readable manner.
```
cnf <expr> <content>
```
Update a configuration file where \<expr\> is a dot-separated human-readable [path expression](#ii-path-expressions) and \<content\> is a string or a file. If a string is given, it will <u>override/add the field</u> ; if a file is given the configuration file will be <u>replaced</u> by it.
```
cnf <expr>
```
Remove a configuration field matching the \<expr\> path.
#### 4) service management
These instructions allow you to interact with the service system (_cf. systemd_).
```
ser [enable|start|stop|restart|reload] <services>
```
Perform the action on services. If more than one, use spaces to separate service names.
#### 5) custom scripts
These instructions allow you to use custom scripts for complex operations.
```
run <script>
```
Execute the \<script\> file.
----
### II. Path Expressions
The syntax is pretty fast-forward, it uses 3 levels to find your configuration line : `[location]@[field.path]`.
| Field | Description | Example |
| --------- | :----------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `location` | Path to the configuration file to edit. The file will be created if not found. | `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`, `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`, `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default` |
| `field.path` | Dot-separated chain of strings that match with a configuration field. If **omitted**, the \<value\> will just be added at the end of the configuration file. In the same way if the field does not point to a raw field but a parent or group containing fields, the \<value\> will be added to the group. | `/etc/ssh/sshd_config@AllowGroups`, `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf@http.gzip` |
> When a file is given as \<content\>, the `cnf` command acts as the shell command `mv` (copy).
#### File Formats
Configuration files can be written according to some standards or application-specific syntax. This tool uses standard and third-party to parse the following formats :
- [xml](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Markup_Language) and [json](https://json.org/) are read/written using the go standard library (_cf. [json](https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/), [xml](https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/xml/)_).
- [yaml](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) with [go-yaml/yaml](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml).
- [ini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file) with [go-ini/ini](https://github.com/go-ini/ini).
- <strike>[toml](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOML)</strike> with [BurntSushi/toml](https://github.com/BurntSushi/toml).
> not consistent ; overriding a toml file with this can mess with comments and duplicate sections. Also there is type inference to do (strings are surrounded with `"`, there is `true`, `false`, etc)
- [nginx configurations](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/basic-functionality/managing-configuration-files/) with [lytics/confl](https://github.com/lytics/confl).
