• infos/description = a plugin which generates regex-representations of specification keywords

A plugin which generates regex representations of specification keywords for the typechecker plugin before saving a configuration specification. For instance the regex for the metakey check/enum/# depends on the metakey's values, as the two definitions check/enum/#1=A and check/enum/#2=B would result in the regex A|B stored in the elektra/spec/regex/check/enum metakey that can be treated by the typechecker as a regex directly.

Usage

In order to generate regex representations for different specification keywords, mount a configuration specification along with this plugin.

kdb mount <specification> spec/<path> <storage plugin to read the specification> regexdispatcher typechecker
