Usage

To generate a config file, you can run something like this:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

The example above will merge the snippets in the directory /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.d into the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

If the directory containing the snippets uses a diferent name pattern, you can pass its name as an argument:

update-conf.py -f /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -d /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

It’s also possible to define frequently used options in a config file. For example, in /etc/update-conf.py.conf:

[snmpd]
file = /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
dir = /etc/snmp/snmpd.d

Now, you can run:

update-conf.py -n snmpd

To get help:

update-conf.py --help

cp {prefix}/share/update-conf.py/update-conf.py.conf /etc/update-conf.py.conf
