SYNOPSIS

 use Config::Model ;

 # create your config model
 my $model = Config::Model -> new ;
 $model->create_config_class( ... ) ;

 # create instance
 my $inst = $model->instance (root_class_name => 'FooBar', 
                              instance_name => 'test1');

 # create root of config
 my $root = $inst -> config_root ;

 # put some data in config tree
 my $step = 'std_id:ab X=Bv - std_id:bc X=Av - a_string="toto tata"';
 $root->walk( step => $step ) ;

 print $root->audit;

 # report all data including default values
 print $root->report ;

DESCRIPTION

This module is used directly by the Config::Model::Node manpage to provide a human readable report of the configuration. This report includes the configuration values and (if provided by the model) the description of the configuration item and their effect.

A report will show all configuration items. An audit will show only configuration items which are different from their default value.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( )

No parameter. The constructor should be used only by the Config::Model::Node manpage.

Methods

report

Returns a string containing the configuration values and (if provided by the model) the description of the configuration item and their effect.

Parameters are:

audit: Set to 1 to report only configuration data different from default values. Default is 0.
node: Reference to the the Config::Model::Node manpage object that is dumped. All nodes and leaves attached to this node are also dumped.
