boom package

Module contents

This module provides classes and functions for creating, displaying, and manipulating boot loader entries complying with the Boot Loader Specification.

The boom package contains global definitions, functions to configure the Boom environment, logging infrastructure for the package and a Selection class used to select one or more OsProfile, HostProfile, BootEntry, or BootParams object according to specified selection criteria.

Individual sub-modules provide interfaces to the various components of Boom: operating system and host profiles, boot loader entries and boot parameters, the boom CLI and procedural API and a simple reporting module to produce tabular reports on Boom objects.

See the sub-module documentation for specific information on the classes and interfaces provided, and the boom tool help output and manual page for information on using the command line interface.

Log a debug message if it passes the current debug mask.

Log the specified message if it passes the current logger debug mask.

Parameters:

msg – the message to be logged

Return type:

None

set_debug_mask(mask_bits)

Set the debug mask for this BoomLogger.

This should normally be set to the BOOM_DEBUG_* value corresponding to the boom sub-module that this instance of BoomLogger belongs to.

Parameters:

mask_bits – The bits to set in this logger’s mask.

Return type:

None

Submodules

boom.bootloader module

boom.osprofile module

The boom.osprofile module defines the OsProfile class that represents an operating system profile. An OsProfile defines the identity of a profile and includes template values used to generate boot loader entries.

Functions are provided to read and write operating system profiles from an on-disk store, and to retrieve OsProfile instances using various selection criteria.

The OsProfile class includes named properties for each profile attribute (“profile key”). In addition, the class serves as a container type, allowing attributes to be accessed via dictionary-style indexing. This simplifies iteration over a profile’s key / value pairs and allows straightforward access to all members in scripts and the Python shell.

All profile key names are made available as named members of the module: BOOM_OS_*, and the OS_PROFILE_KEYS list. Human-readable names for all the profile keys are stored in the OS_KEY_NAMES dictionary: these are suitable for display use and are used by default by the OsProfile string formatting routines.

Remove the on-disk profile corresponding to this BoomProfile object. This will permanently erase the current file (although the current data may be re-written at any time by calling write_profile() before the object is disposed of).

The method will call the profile class’s _profile_path() method in order to determine the location of the on-disk profile store.

Return type:

NoneType

Raises:

OsError if an error occurs removing the file or ValueError if the profile does not exist.

_dirty()

Mark this BoomProfile as needing to be written to disk.

A newly created BoomProfile object is always dirty and a call to its write_profile() method will always write a new profile file. Writes may be avoided for profiles that are not marked as dirty.

Parameters:

• profile_id – The os_id or host_id of this profile.

• profile_dir – The directory containing this type.

• mode – The mode with which files are created.

• force – Force this profile to be written to disk even if the entry is unmodified.

del_optional_key(key)

Remove the BLS key key from the allowed set of optional keys for this profile.

delete_profile()

Delete on-disk data for this profile.

Remove the on-disk profile corresponding to this BoomProfile object. This will permanently erase the current file (although the current data may be re-written at any time by calling write_profile() before the object is disposed of).

Subclasses of BoomProfile that implement an on-disk store must override this method to perform any unlinking of the profile from in-memory data structures, and to call the generic _delete_profile() method to remove the profile file.

boom.hostprofile module

The boom.hostprofile module defines the HostProfile class that represents a host system profile. A HostProfile defines the identity of a host and includes template values that override the corresponding OsProfile defaults for the respective host.

Functions are provided to read and write host system profiles from an on-disk store, and to retrieve HostProfile instances using various selection criteria.

The HostProfile class includes named properties for each profile attribute (“profile key”). In addition, the class serves as a container type, allowing attributes to be accessed via dictionary-style indexing. This simplifies iteration over a profile’s key / value pairs and allows straightforward access to all members in scripts and the Python shell.

The keys used to access HostProfile members (and their corresponding property names) are identical to those used by the OsProfile class.

boom.report module

The Boom reporting module contains a set of classes for creating simple text based tabular reports for a user-defined set of object types and fields. No restrictions are placed on the types of object that can be reported: users of the BoomReport classes may define additional object types outside the boom package and include these types in reports generated by the module.

The fields displayed in a specific report may be selected from the available set of fields by specifying a simple comma-separated string list of field names (in display order). In addition, custom multi-column sorting is possible using a similar string notation.

The BoomReport module is closely based on the device-mapper reporting engine and shares many features and behaviours with device mapper reports.

Parse field_format and attempt to match the names of field names found to registered BoomFieldType fields.

If type_only is True only the report_types field is updated: otherwise the parsed fields are added to the BoomReport’s field list.

Parameters:

• field_format – The list of fields to parse

• type_only – True if this call should only update types

__parse_keys(keys, type_only)

Parse report sort key list.

Parse keys and attempt to match the names of sort keys found to registered BoomFieldType fields.

If type_only is True only the report_types field is updated: otherwise the parsed fields are added to the BoomReport’s sort key list.

Parameters:

• field_format – The list of fields to parse

• type_only – True if this call should only update types

__recalculate_fields()

For each field, recalculate the minimum field width by finding the longest report_string value for that field and updating the dynamic width stored in the corresponding BoomFieldProperties object.

Return type:

None

__recalculate_sha_width()

Recalculate minimum SHA field widths.

For each REP_SHA field present, recalculate the minimum field width required to ensure uniqueness of the displayed values.

Return type:

None

__report_headings()

Output report headings.

Output the column headings for this BoomReport.

Return type:

None

__row_key_fn()

Return a Python key function to compare report rows.

The cmp argument of sorting functions has been removed in Python 3.x: to maintain similarity with the device-mapper report library we keep a traditional “cmp”-style function (that is structured identically to the version in the device mapper library), and dynamically wrap it in a __RowKey object to conform to the Python sort key model.
