configuration tree AAPPII"Apache2::Directive" provides the following functions and/or methods:
""aarrggss"" Get the arguments for the current directive:$args = $node->args();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: $args ( string )
Arguments are separated by a whitespace in the string. since: 2.0.00 For example, in httpd.conf:PerlSwitches -M/opt/lib -M/usr/local/lib -wT
And later:my $tree = Apache2::Directive::conftree();
my $node = $tree->lookup('PerlSwitches');
my $args = $node->args;
$args now contains the string "-M/opt/lib -M/usr/local/lib -wT"
""aasshhaasshh"" Get a hash representation of the configuration tree, in a format suitable for inclusion insections. $confighash = $conftree->ashash();
obj: $conftree ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
The config tree to stringifyret: $confighash ( HASH reference )
since: 2.0.00 For example: in httpd.conf:And later: SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Test::Modulemy $tree = Apache2::Directive::conftree();
my $node = $tree->lookup('Location', '/test/');
my $hash = $node->ashash;
$hash now is:
{'SetHandler' => 'perl-script',
'PerlHandler' => 'Test::Module', } ""aassssttrriinngg"" Get a string representation of the configuration node, in httpd.conf format.$string = $node->asstring();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
The config tree to stringifyret: $string ( string )
since: 2.0.00 For example: in httpd.conf:And later: SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Test::Modulemy $tree = Apache2::Directive::conftree();
my $node = $tree->lookup('Location', '/test/');
my $string = $node->asstring;
$string is now:
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Test::Module ""ccoonnffttrreeee"" Get the root of the configuration tree:$conftree = Apache2::Directive::conftree();
obj: "Apache2::Directive" ( class name )
ret: $conftree ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
since: 2.0.00 ""ddiirreeccttiivvee""Get the name of the directive in $node:
$name = $node->directive();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: $name ( string )
since: 2.0.00 ""ffiilleennaammee"" Get the filename the configuration node was created from:$filename = $node->filename();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: $filename ( string )
since: 2.0.00 For example:my $tree = Apache2::Directive::conftree();
my $node = $tree->lookup('VirtualHost', 'example.com');
my $filename = $node->filename;
$filename is now the full path to the httpd.conf that VirtualHost was
defined in. If the directive was added with "addconfig()", the filename will be the path to the httpd.conf that trigerred that Perl code. ""ffiirrssttcchhiilldd"" Get the first child node of this directive:$childnode = $node->firstchild;
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: $childnode ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
Returns the first child node of $node, "undef" if there is none
since: 2.0.00 ""lliinneennuumm"" Get the line number in a filename this node was created at:$lineno = $node->linenum();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
arg1: $lineno (integer)
since: 2.0.00 ""llooookkuupp"" Get the node(s) matching a certain value.$node = $conftree->lookup($directive, $args);
@nodes = $conftree->lookup($directive, $args);
obj: $conftree ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
The config tree to stringifyarg1: $directive ( string )
The name of the directive to search for opt arg2: "args" ( string ) Optional args to the directive to filter forret: $string ( string / ARRAY of HASH refs )
In LIST context, it returns all matching nodes. In SCALAR context, it returns only the first matching node.If called with only $directive value, this method returns all nodes
from that directive. For example:@Alias = $conftree->lookup('Alias');
returns all nodes for "Alias" directives.If called with an extra $args argument, it returns only nodes where
both the directive and the args matched. For example:$VHost = $tree->lookup('VirtualHost', 'default:8000');
since: 2.0.00 ""nneexxtt"" Get the next directive node in the tree:$nextnode = $node->next();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: $nextnode ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
Returns the next sibling of $node, "undef" if there is none
since: 2.0.00 ""ppaarreenntt"" Get the parent node of this directive:$parentnode = $node->parent();
obj: $node ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
ret: "parentnode" ( "Apache2::Directive object" )
Returns the parent of $node, "undef" if this node is the root node
