"""
A library for reading VyOS running config data.
This library is used internally by all config scripts of VyOS,
but its API should be considered stable and it is safe to use
in user scripts.
Note that this module will not work outside VyOS.
Node taxonomy
#############
There are multiple types of config tree nodes in VyOS, each requires
its own set of operations.
*Leaf nodes* (such as "address" in interfaces) can have values, but cannot
have children.
Leaf nodes can have one value, multiple values, or no values at all.
For example, "system host-name" is a single-value leaf node,
"system name-server" is a multi-value leaf node (commonly abbreviated "multi node"),
and "system ip disable-forwarding" is a valueless leaf node.
Non-leaf nodes cannot have values, but they can have child nodes. They are divided into
two classes depending on whether the names of their children are fixed or not.
For example, under "system", the names of all valid child nodes are predefined
("login", "name-server" etc.).
To the contrary, children of the "system task-scheduler task" node can have arbitrary names.
Such nodes are called *tag nodes*. This terminology is confusing but we keep using it for lack
of a better word. The knowledge of whether in "task Foo" the "tag" is "task" or "Foo" is lost
in time, luckily, the distinction is irrelevant in practice.
Configuration modes
###################
VyOS has two distinct modes: operational mode and configuration mode. When a user logins,
the CLI is in the operational mode. In this mode, only the running (effective) config is accessible for reading.
When a user enters the "configure" command, a configuration session is setup. Every config session
has its *proposed* config built on top of the current running config. When changes are commited, if commit succeeds,
the proposed config is merged into the running config.
For this reason, this library has two sets of functions. The base versions, such as ``exists`` or ``return_value``
are only usable in configuration mode. They take all nodes into account, in both proposed and running configs.
Configuration scripts require access to uncommited changes for obvious reasons. Configuration mode completion helpers
should also use these functions because not having nodes you've just created in completion is annoying.
However, in operational mode, only the running config is available. Currently, you need to use special functions
for reading it from operational mode scripts, they can be distinguished by the word "effective" in their names.
In the future base versions may be made to detect if they are called from a config session or not.
