Hello,

reading the discussion on web interfaces for OpenWRT I got confused about UCI.

Since I have not found any official OpenWRT page that documents UCI,
all this I'm going to say comes from various googling, and "hands-on"
boards with OpenWRT.

I thought UCI was a way to concentrate all the configuration of the
router in a "database like" file, with all the configuration organized
in "keys" - example:

config.section.option=name/value

this way configuring the router was not going to be anymore a matter
of changing .conf file, but just change the keys in the UCI tree.

This is very good, because everyone can develop a web interface, as
long as the web interface interacts only with UCI.

My Question is:

X-Wrt configures OpenWRT using UCI ???
Where is documented how UCI works ??

the cleaner way wouldn't be write a web interface that calls stuff
like "uci set bla bla bla".... ??

Thanks for your time :)

Saverio Proto
