Hi,
I'm just trying to get an idea about the best way to implement this:
I want a type that uses the 'semanage' binary to manage targeted policy (in
this case for files).
So for example to create a targeted policy, I might do something like:
semanage fcontext -a -f -d -t some_domain_t "/path/to/files(/.*)?"
... which would add a target policy that sets 'some_domain_t' on all
directories in "/path/to/files/"
The question I have is about the "-d", which is a parameter to "-f", that
directs policy to only cover directories (e.g. "-d" is for directories,
"--" is for regular files, "-s" is for sockets, etc. -- see the help for
semanage for the rest).
I want a property called :filetype that can have a value of :file,
:directory, :all, :socket, :character, :block, etc. Once I get valid input,
I want to convert the value to the appropriate flag for the command. What's
the best way to do this?
My current idea is to accept any input, and then have a case switch inside
of a munge block, e.g.:
munge do |value|
case value
when "file"
value = "--"
when "directory"
value = "-d"
... etc..
end
end
Is this the "correct" way to implement this? Should this even be in the
type definition (since these are details of the provider)?
Thanks for your help,
Jon
