List of parameters for the file_select portion of a copy_files operation in Cfengine 3.
To combine filters just use logical operators in the file_result handle, e.g.,
file_result => "leaf_name.!path_name.(search_owners|search_groups).ctime"
| Item | Values | Description & Example |
|---|---|---|
| atime | irange [int,int] 0-2147483647 | Range of access times (atime) for acceptable files. body file_select used_recently {
# files accessed within the last hour
atime => irange(ago(0,0,0,1,0,0),now);
file_result => "atime";
}
body file_select not_used_much {
# files not accessed since 00:00 1/1/2000
atime => irange(on(2000,1,1,0,0,0),now);
file_result => "!atime";
}
|
| ctime | irange [int,int] 0-2147483647 | Range of change times (ctime) for acceptable files. body files_select example {
ctime => irange(ago(1,0,0,0,0,0),now);
file_result => "ctime";
}
|
| exec_regex | string | Matches file if this regular expression matches any full line returned by the command. The regular expression must be used in conjunction with the exec_program: the programme must return exit status 0 and its entire output must match the regular expression (use “.*” to fill-in the gaps at the start and end).body file_select example {
exec_regex => "SPECIAL_LINE: .*";
exec_program => "/path/test_program $(this.promiser)";
file_result => "exec_program.exec_regex";
}
|
| exec_program | string | Execute this command on each file; return a match if the exit status is zero. body file_select example {
exec_program => "/path/test_program $(this.promiser)";
file_result => "exec_program";
}
|
| file_result | string | This determines the files that will be returned by the file_select operation. Use one or more classes that are defined in this block, combined with logical operators such as AND (.), OR (|), or NOT (!). |
| file_types | plain, reg, symlink, dir, socket, fifo, door, char, block | List of acceptable file types. This limits the selection; if you do not specify file_types then all types are included. body file_select filter {
file_types => { "plain","symlink" };
file_result => "file_types";
}
|
| issymlinkto | slist | List of regular expressions to match file objects. body file_select example {
issymlinkto => { "/etc/[^/]*", "/etc/init\.d/[a-z0-9]*" };
}
|
| leaf_name | slist | List of regexes that match an acceptable file/node name (not the path name). body file_select example {
leaf_name => { "S[0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+", "K[0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+" };
file_result => "leaf_name";
}
|
| mtime | irange [int,int] 0-2147483647 | Range of modification times (mtime) for acceptable files. The following example selects files modified more than one year ago (i.e., not in the given mtime range). body files_select example {
mtime => irange(ago(1,0,0,0,0,0),now);
file_result => "!mtime";
}
|
| path_name | slist | List of pathnames to search for files. body file_select example {
leaf_name => { "prog.pid", "prog.log" };
path_name => { "/etc/.*", "/var/run/.*" };
file_result => "leaf_name.path_name"
}
|
| search_groups | slist | List of acceptable group names/IDs for the file, or regexes to match. body file_select example {
search_groups => { "users", "special_.*" };
file_result => "group";
}
|
| search_mode | slist [0-7 augorwx st,+-]+ | A list of mode masks for acceptable file permissions. Set it to “700” and you'll only get files that have a mode of 700. Set it to “g+w” and you'll only get group-writable files. body file_select by_modes {
search_mode => { "711" , "666" };
file_result => "mode";
}
|
| search_owners | slist | List of acceptable user names/IDs for the file, or regexes to match. body file_select example {
search_owners => { "mark", "jeang", "student_.*" };
file_result => "owner";
}
|
| search_size | irange [int,int] 0-inf | Range of acceptable file sizes. body file_select example {
search_size => irange("0","20k");
file_result => "size";
}
