## 1. Getting started
This is a developer's reference. It's not intended to be a manual, but a
reference for all internal functions, so you can easily build your own modules.
This supposes you already read the [README file](../README.md). Creating modules
will also require some good knowledge of Bash programming.
Writing conventions are the classical ones:
* ```<param>```: writen like this, the parameter is mandatory
* ```[param]```: that parameter is optionnal
* ```[ab|cd]```: optionnal parmeter have to be "ab" or "cd"
* ```[0..15,20]```: acceptable values start at 0 and goes up to 15 or be 20.
## 2. The aaa_error.sh file
### 2.1. Functions
#### 2.1.1. ```check_root```
Check if user is root. If the user is not root, script execution is interrupted
and exit with error.
This function has no parameter.
If the variable ```NO_ROOT_CHECK``` is set to true, the function always exit
without error and no check is done.
#### 2.1.2. ```die <exitcode> [--force]```
Trigger an error, print a back trace and exit the script, unless ```KEEPGOING```
variable is set to true. In that situation, we just display a warning.
If the parameter ```--force``` is given, we exit even if the KEEPGOING variable
is set to true.
#### 2.1.3. ```noerror [--noout] <command>```
Allow the execution of a command bypassing the error management system. The
purpose is to allow execution of tests returning normally a non-zero value
without triggering an error and the exit coming with.
If the first parameter is ```--noout``` any outputs on standard and error
console are disabled. The other parameters are the raw command line to execute.
In any case, the function echoes the error code returned by the executed
command.
### 2.2. Other functionalities
The simple integration of aaa_error.sh file into a script, will change the
entire script behavior regarding errors. The following Bash signals will be
trapped:
- **```ERR```**: The ERR signal is triggered every time Bash encounters an
error or if a command return a non-zero value. The function called on that
signal will stop execution of the script, displaying an error message with error
code and a back trace to help identify the error origin. Because of this
behavior, the function supersedes the internal ```errexit``` Bash configuration
switch, unless the *noerror* function is used.
- **```SIGINT```**: That signal is triggered when ```Ctrl + C``` is pressed by
the user. That signal will be interpreted only if the command being executed
when the event occurs is a Bash internal. If an executable program receive the
signal it will be interpreted with its own mechanisms, generally resulting in an
execution error that will trigger an **```ERR```** signal as described above.
The script will exit after cleanup when that signal is trapped.
- **```SIGTERM```**: That signal is typically the result of an external kill of
the bash process running the script. The kill signal can come from the kernel or
through the use of a *kill* command. The script will exit after cleanup.
## 3. The display.sh file
### 3.1. Functions
#### 3.1.1. ```prnt [-n] [I|W|E|m] <message>```
Print a message with timestamp and header. The header depends on a single
character parameter, will be colored and have a fixed length, so the messages
will always be aligned.
If the first parameter is ```-n```, we won't go to a new line after displaying
the message.
The first parameter (if ```-n``` is not provided) is the header type, having
those possible values:
- **I**: Display an informative message in green
- **W**: Display a warning in yellow
- **E**: Display an error in red
- **m**: Display a message without header but aligned
- Anything else will be treated as the message and will lose alignment.
The second parameter is the message to display.
As this function is widely used almost everywhere in the code at runtime,
consider it as being a base dependency of all libraries and modules.
Consequently that function can only contain code that cannot trigger errors or
fail as it's also used to display errors. Thus it only contains echoes and some
variables manipulation.
#### 3.1.2. ```separator```
Tat function display a seprator made with dash, to fill the length of the
screen minus one character.
It takes no parameters and return no value.
#### 3.1.3. ```dsleep <miliseconds> [char]```
That function is an equivalent to *sleep* bash command but will display a
countdown every second until it reaches zero. Optionnally a character (or a
string) can be given as a second parameter to replace the countdown by that
character. For exemple, you can use a dot to display a dot every second until
the wait is over.
The function returns nothing useful.
#### 3.1.4. ```dump_key_buffer```
That function dumps keyboard's buffer. It's used to clear eventual key press
before any critical keyboard action.
That function takes no parameter and returns no useful value.
### 3.2. Other functionalities
Using that script will declare some easy to remember variables containing Bash
color codes:
- Standard codes depending on your environment: DEFAULTFG,
DEFAULTBG, ```DEFAULTCOL=${DEFAULTBG}${DEFAULTFG}```
- Regular colors: Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Cyan, White
- Bold (only available in graphical console or some non standard console
fonts): BBlack, BRed, BGreen, BYellow, BBlue, BPurple, BCyan, BWhite
- Underline: UBlack, URed, UGreen, UYellow, UBlue, UPurple, UCyan, UWhite
- Background: On_Black, On_Red, On_Green, On_Yellow, On_Blue, On_Purple,
On_Cyan, On_White
- High intensity: IBlack, IRed, IGreen, IYellow, IBlue, IPurple, ICyan, IWhite
- Bold high intensity (only available in graphical console or some non standard
console fonts): BIBlack, BIRed, BIGreen, BIYellow, BIBlue, BIPurple,
BICyan, BIWhite
- High intensity backgrounds: On_IBlack, On_IRed, On_IGreen, On_IYellow,
On_IBlue, On_IPurple, On_ICyan, On_IWhite
For example, if you what to write "ATTENTION: this is a warning!" in red with
"ATTENTION:" on yellow background, you should write:
```shell
echo -e "${IRed}${On_IYellow}ATTENTION:${DEFAULTBG} this is a warning!${DEFAULTCOL}"
```
Remember to always terminate an *echo -e* using colors with the $DEFAULTCOL
variable. If not, any new line might be filled with the last used color and line
ending will filled with background color.
## 4. The filefct.sh file
### 4.1. Common behavior
In our terminology a source file can be of three different origins, selected
automatically from highest to lowest priority:
- **```repo/hosts/$HOSTNAME```**: this allows to provide system specific
files. Use only relative path to access it.
- **```repo/common```**: this one will provide files suitable for your entire
infrastructure. Yet again provide a relative path to access it.
- **Any path**: You can give fully qualified path names to access resources
from other locations.
### 4.2. Functions
#### 4.2.1. ```backupdist <list_of_files_or_dirs>```
That function will provide a backup of any given files or directories given in
command line. The backup will be named name.dist-timestamp, where name is the
original file or directory name and timestamp the date and time of the backup
as retuned by the ```stdtime``` function. If a file given in parameter don't
exists, the function will issue a warning and continue to the next.
If target file or directory is a symbolic link, the link will be resolved until
we backup the target on its side.
The function don't take any other parameters than file and/or directory names.
#### 4.2.2. ```select_file <filename>```
Returns the best match in our priority system returning on ```stdout``` the
resulting fully qualified path name as a result. The priorities applies on file
existance.
Many functions manipullating files in ```init.sh``` depends on that function.
#### 4.2.2. ```installfile <sources> <destination>```
Install a list of source files to the given destination using our priority
system.
Wildcards are not allowed in file names, so an error will occurs if you try to
use any. It's also not yet possible to give an entire directory as a source.
The last parameter is always the destination. If the destination path does not
exists, it will be created automatically.
#### 4.2.3. ```appendfile <source> <destination>```
That function add the content of source file to destination file. The source
file can have defferent origins, following the same path priority as the
*installfile* function.
The destination file must exist and be on the root filesystem. Only two
parameters are accepted, the source and destination files.
#### 4.2.4. ```isdirempty <directory>```
That function take only one parameter, a path name and return 0 if the given
path don't exists or is empty. It will return one if there's at least one file
in the given directory.
If the given parametter is a file (or a symlink to a file), it will terminate
with an error.
#### 4.2.5. ```patch_file <source> <destination> [VAR1 [VAR2 ...]]```
That function will patch the given file using our priority system, patch it
then place the result in the given destination. The patching will be done when
any @VAR@ item in the source file will match an environment variable of the
exact same name without the trailing @. Variables will be either the
given list or, if nothing is given in parameter, in the global system
variables, in the context of the *init.sh* execution.
Source file must exists and not be empty. The function returns nothing
useful.
### 4.3. Other functionnalities
That file don't profide any other things that the previously listed functions.
## 5. The pkgman.sh file
### 5.1. Global dependencies
Because it gives system independent function to the system dependent package
manager, the entire file depends on ```PKG_MAN``` variable, defining the package
manager executable to use. Other variables giving command line parameters to
use for the different function will also be nedeed and detailed for every
function. All those variable are defined in a system dependant configuration
file automatically called on script startup.
### 5.2. Functions
#### 5.2.1. ```pkgupdt```
That function calls the package manager to update package database.
It depends on the ```COM_UPDATE``` variable wich define the parameters to use to
accomplish that function.
That function takes no parameters and any given parameters will be ignored.
#### 5.2.2. ```pkginst <package_list>```
That function installs using the package manager the packages given in
parameters. The list of parameters are all considered as package names.
Before installation, the list of package to be installed by the package
manager will be extracted to allow execution of pre installation scripts
and post installation scripts, even for dependencies (ie: packages not parts of
the given parameters).
Preinstallation scripts have to be named ```preinst_<package_name>```. Post
installation script will be in the form ```postinst_<package_name>```.
If the ```INSTALL_MODE``` variable is set to ```dev``` the package manger will
be called surrounded by eventual pre and post install scripts, one package
after the other. Elsewhere, all pre installation scripts are executed, followed
by the package manager with the entire package list as parameter and finally
all the post installation scripts.
The function depends on the ```COM_INSTALL``` variable wich define the parameter
to use to accomplish that package manager function.
#### 5.2.3. ```pkgupgd```
That function calls the package manager to upgrade system. If pre upgrade
scripts exists, they will be executed if the corresponding package are being
upgraded. After the upgrade, the same behaviour will trigger post upgrade
scripts.
Pre upgrade scripts have to be named ```preupgd_<package_name>```. Post
upgrade script will be in the form ```postupgd_<package_name>```.
It depends on the ```COM_UPGRADE``` variable wich define the parameters to use
to accomplish that function.
That function takes no parameters and any given parameters will be ignored.
#### 5.2.4. ```pkgrm <package_list>```
That function uninstalls using the package manager the packages given in
parameters. The list of parameters are all considered as package names.
Before removal, the list of package to be uninstalled by the package
manager will be extracted to allow execution of pre removal scripts
and post removal scripts, even for dependencies (ie: packages not parts of
the given parameters).
If the ```INSTALL_MODE``` variable is set to ```dev``` the package manger will
be called one package after the other (allong with pre and post remove scripts).
Elsewhere all pre removal scripts are executed, followed by the package manager
with the entire package list as parameter and finally all the post removal
scripts.
Pre remove scripts have to be named ```prerm_<package_name>```. Post remove
script will be in the form ```postrm_<package_name>```.
The function depends on the ```COM_REMOVE``` variable wich define the parameter
to use to accomplish that function.
#### 5.2.5. ```pkgautorm```
That function calls the package manager to remove no longer needed installed
dependencies. Any package not manually installed is considered as a depndency.
Pre removal and post removal scripts will be executed accordingly if any
matching package is to be removed. It's the same as the ones executed by
```pkgrm``` function.
It depends on the ```COM_AUTOREM``` variable wich define the parameters to use
to accomplish that function.
That function takes no parameters and any given parameters will be ignored.
### 5.3. Other functionnalities
Other functions are declared to call pre and post actions for the corresponding
package manager events. It doesn't make sense those functions to be called
outside of the integrated package manager mechanisms as their functionnalities
depends on variables managed by their respective package manager functions.
The following table resume those function sorted with their respective caller:
| Pre/post functions | Caller | Required var | Package triger | Description |
|:-------------------|:--------|:-------------|:---------------|:--------------|
| ```exec_preinst``` | ```pkginst``` | ```GET_INTALLLIST``` | ```preinst_@pkgname@``` | ```GET_INTALLLIST``` variable defines the command that allows us to obtain the list of package that will be installed with ```@pkg@``` as a substitute to the list given as ```pkginst``` parameters. |
| ```exec_postinst``` | ```pkginst``` | ```POSTINSTLIST``` | ```postinst_@pkgname@``` | ```POSTINSTLIST``` is generated by ```exec_preinst``` and destroyed after ```exec_postinst``` execution. |
| ```exec_preupgd``` | ```pkgupgd``` | ```GET_UPGRADELIST``` | ```preupgd_@pkgname@``` | ```GET_UPGRADELIST``` variable defines the command that allows us to obtain the list of package that will be installed. |
| ```exec_postupgd``` | ```pkgupgd``` | ```POSTUPGRADELIST``` | ```postupgd_@pkgname@``` | ```POSTUPGDLIST``` is generated by ```exec_preupgd``` and destroyed after ```exec_postupgd``` execution. |
| ```exec_prerm``` | ```pkgrm``` | ```GET_REMOVELIST``` | ```prerm_@pkgname@``` | ```GET_REMOVELIST``` variable defines the command that allows us to obtain the list of package that will be removed. ```@pkg@``` will be substituted by the list given as ```pkgrm``` parameters. |
| ```exec_postrm``` | ```pkgrm``` | ```POSTRMLIST``` | ```postrm_@pkgname@``` | ```POSTRMLIST``` is generated by ```exec_prerm``` and destroyed after ```exec_postrm``` execution. |
| ```exec_preautorm``` | ```pkgautorm``` | ```GET_AUTORMLIST``` | ```prerm_@pkgname@``` | ```GET_AUTORMLIST``` variable defines the command that allows us to obtain the list of package that will be automatically removed. |
| ```exec_postautorm``` | ```pkgautorm``` | ```POSTRMLIST``` | ```postrm_@pkgname@``` | ```POSTRMLIST``` is generated by ```exec_preautorm``` and destroyed after ```exec_postautorm``` execution. |
## 6. The services.sh file
### 6.1. Global dependencies
That script relies on the ```INIT_COM``` variable, defining the program to use
to manipulate services. It is defined in configuration file automatically called
depending on your distribution. Nevertheless, even if it's system dependent,
some distributions offers you to choose between different services call (and
init system). If you're not using the standard init system of your distribution,
you'll need to overload the ```INIT_COM``` variable in your configuration files.
It have been tested with SystemV, SystemD and UpStart init systems. Thus,
the originally UpStart "service" program tend to be available on many systems
and is privileged.
With the tested init systems, and considering ```%srv%``` the service name and
```%com%``` the command to execute, the ```INIT_COM``` variable can be:
* **```$RC_SCRIPTS_PATH/%srv% %com%```** with ```$RC_SCRIPTS_PATH``` being ```/etc/init.d``` on Debian like systems when using SystemV init. The variable can be overloaded to change the access path.
* **```systemctl %com% %srv%```** for systems using SystemD
* **```service %srv% %com%```** for upstart like scripts (but widely available)
### 6.2. Functions
#### 6.2.1. ```exec_serv <service> <command>```
That function execute the given action to the given service. The service have
to be the first parameter and the action, the second parameter. No more
parameter will be acceted and an error will be triggered if there's any more
than two.
The function returns the exit code of the service command.
#### 6.2.2. ```svc_start <service1> [service2 ... serviceN]```
Start the services given in parmeters. You can give as many services you want.
That function relies on the previously documented exec_serv function.
#### 6.2.3. ```svc_reload <service1> [service2 ... serviceN]```
Reload the configuration of the services given in parmeters. You can give as
many services you want. Be careful using this as some services don't have that
capability.
That function relies on the previously documented exec_serv function.
#### 6.2.2. ```svc_restart <service1> [service2 ... serviceN]```
Restart the services given in parmeters. It consist generally in a stop
immediately followed by a start. You can give as many services you want.
That function relies on the previously documented exec_serv function.
#### 6.2.3. ```svc_stop <service1> [service2 ... serviceN]```
Stop the services given in parmeters. You can give as many services you want.
That function relies on the previously documented exec_serv function.
## 7. The support.sh file
### 7.1. Global behaviour
That file is designed to just display information. It only contains code that
don't requires any special writes, and do nothing to the system. The idea is to
have the minimal sets of dependencies. As it's sometimes using colors to display
results, it depends only on color code declaration in the ```display.sh``` file.
### 7.2. Functions
#### 7.2.1. ```disp_help```
That function display the help screen, usually called using the *--help* switch.
It's not taking any parameter and return nothing but help text.
#### 7.2.2. ```show_version```
That function display the version of init.sh. It will also parse all the
available modules to display a table with their respecting versions.
If user is not root an additionnal warning will be displayed to warn the fact
the script requires root privileges to work properly.
### 7.3. Other functionnalities
That file don't profide any other thing that the previously listed functions.
## 8. The utils.sh file
### 8.1. Functions
#### 8.1.1. ```stdtime```
Display date and time based on RFC 3339 standard but slightly modified so it can
be used in filename. Thus spaces are replaced by dash, and comas between hours,
minutes and seconds are removed.
That function takes no parameters and return its result on standard output.
#### 8.1.2. ```function_exists <function_name>```
That function checks if the given name is a defined function in the execution
environment. It returns 0 if yes and an undefined non zero value if not.
That functions prints nothing.
#### 8.1.3. ```get_mod_name <module_file>```
That function return the name of the module file given in parameter. It takes
only one parameter: the module file name.
Result is sent to ```stdout```.
#### 8.1.4. ```set_system_proxy```
That function applies proxy settings in the configuration files to the system
proxy configuration, unless the ```--no-proxy``` parameters have been given
command line.
That function takes no parameters and only change ```http_proxy``` and
```https_proxy``` standard POSIX variables. No usefull result will be returned.
### 8.2. Other functionnalities
That file don't profide any other thing that the previously listed functions.
## 9. The version.sh file
### 9.1. Functions
#### 9.1.1. ```get_os_version```
That function takes no parameters and will return three values in order:
1. Distribution ID, in lowcase, usually equivalent to the distribution name.
2. Distribution version, if available, elsewhere kernel version with it's major.
3. Distribution codename (eg. buster for Debian 10) in lowercase if available. If not, the generic "null" value is returned instead.
The function mainly relies on the "*/etc/os-release*" new standard file. If your
distribution do not provide that file it is required you generate it yourself
before using init.sh. If you need help with the *os-release* file you can check
the [official documentation](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html).
In "*/etc/os-release*" the variables *ID*, *VERSION_ID* and *VERSION_CODENAME*
will be the ones being analysed. Only the *ID* variable is mandatory.
#### 9.1.2. ```set_sys_var <arch> <dist> <version> <codename>```
That function sets important variable that will store the system architecture.
It will allow the automatic loading of mandatory system dependent code and
variables. For debugging purpose it will be possible to call it manually.
Inside the init.sh initiallisation, it's called that way:
```shell
set_sys_vars $(uname -m) $(get_os_version)
```
All the four parameters have to be given in that order:
1. System architecture (eg. x86_64, i386, arm64...)
2. Distribution name (eg. debian, centos, ubuntu...)
3. Distribution version (or kernel version for rolling releases)
4. Distribution codename if available (eg. jessie, buster, bulleyes...)
If your distribution do not provide any codename, you have to give "null" as a
replacement parameter.
The following global variables will be set at the end of the execution:
- **```SYS_ARCH```** for the system architecture
- **```SYS_DIST```** for the distribution name
- **```SYS_VER```** for the distribution version
- **```SYS_CODE```** for the distribution codename
The ```SYS_CODE``` variable won't be set if your distribution provides no codename.
## 10. The zzz_main_fct file
This file is used internally directly by the init.sh script. Its purpose is
only to lighten the main program file and those function are not supposed to be
used by any module or even more than once. Thus it's documented to help new
developpers to contribute.
### 10.1. Functions
#### 10.1.1. ```read_commandline```
That function consist in a loop that analyse command line one parameter after
the other. Most of command line parameters will result in the positionning of
some global variables. The following table details the variable with their type
associated to the corresponding parameter:
| Parameter | Variable | Type | Descrition |
|:--------------|:-------------------|:--------|:------------------------------|
| --help | *none* | *n/a* | Trigger help display directly and exit |
| --version | *none* | *n/a* | Trigger help display directly and exit |
| --module | MANUAL_MODULE_LIST | string | The following parameter will set a list of module to use |
| --check-only | CHECK_ONLY | boolean | Activate check only mode |
| --jump | JUMP | boolean | Activate no checks mode |
| --keep-going | KEEPGOING | boolean | Activate keep going option |
| --resume | RESUME | boolean | Activate resume mode if stage file exists |
| --no-root-check | NO_ROOT_CHECK | boolean | Activate option to not check if user is root |
| --no-deps | NO_DEPS | boolean | Activate not checking module dependencies option |
| --logfile | NEW_LOGFILE | string | The following parameter will be the log filename |
| --file | CONFFILES | string | The following parameter will be a configuration filename |
| --shell | RUN_SHELL | boolean | Activate the shell mode |
| --chroot | CHROOT_PATH | string | The following parameter will be the path to chroot in |
| --cron | CRON_MODE | boolean | Activate cron mode |
The function will do some basinc synthax checks. For exemple if you put an
option just after one supposing a value declaration, an error will be trigered
directly.
#### 10.1.2. ```chroot_bootstrap```
That function is called if a chroot option have been given. It's in charge of
performing the chroot, copying a full working directory structure of init.sh
tree. After that copy a chroot command is runned launching that new copy of
init.sh.
If the child init.sh end with error, the stage file is gathered in parent
directory tree to allow launching again the chrooted init.sh with the resume
option.
At the end the function will clean up removing the second copy of init.sh.
#### 10.1.3. ```load_autoconf```
That function will automatically load system specific configuration if file
exist in the following order:
1) ```auto/arch.conf.sh```
2) ```auto/distro.conf.sh```
3) ```auto/distro-arch.conf.sh```
4) ```auto/distro-version.conf.sh```
5) ```auto/distro-codename.conf.sh``` (if ```SYS_CODE``` defined)
6) ```auto/distro-version-arch.conf.sh```
7) ```auto/distro-codename-arch.conf.sh``` (if ```SYS_CODE``` defined)
Plaese note that a situation where no such file exists would lead to error. Most
of the time a basic package manager configuration will be required to make it
work.
#### 10.1.4. ```load_configuration```
#### 10.1.5. ```process_commandline_and_vars```
