paths

Prototype: paths

Description: Defines an array path with common paths to standard binaries and directories as well as classes for defined and existing paths.

If the current platform knows that binary XYZ should be present, _stdlib_has_path_XYZ is defined. Furthermore, if XYZ is actually present (i.e. the binary exists) in the expected location, _stdlib_path_exists_XYZ is defined.

Example:

bundle agent no_carriage_returns(filename)
{
commands:
  _stdlib_path_exists_sed::
     "$(paths.sed)" -> { "CFE-3216" }
       args => "-i 's/^M//' $(filename)",
       comment => "Preferred reference style";

     "$(paths[sed])"
       args => "-i 's/^M//' $(filename)",
       comment => "Alternate array reference style";
}

The paths bundle can be extended with custom paths by tagging classic array variables with paths.cf.

Example:

bundle agent extended_paths_example
{
  meta:
      "tags" slist => { "autorun" };

  vars:
      # NOTE: the key will be canonified when it's pulled in to the paths bundle.
      "path[orange]" string => "/bin/true", meta => { "paths.cf" };
      "path[true-blue]" string => "/bin/true", meta => { "paths.cf" };
      "foo[bar]" string => "/bin/true", meta => { "paths.cf" };

    this_context_isnt_defined_so_no_path::
      "path[red]" string => "/bin/true", meta => { "paths.cf" };

  reports:
    _stdlib_path_exists_orange::
      "path paths.orange == $(paths.orange)";
      "path paths.path[orange] == $(paths.path[orange])";

    _stdlib_path_exists_bar::
      "path paths.bar == $(paths.bar)";
      "path paths.path[bar] == $(paths.path[bar])";

    _stdlib_path_exists_true_blue::
      "path paths.true_blue == $(paths.true_blue)";
      "path paths.path[true_blue] == $(paths.path[true_blue])";

    _stdlib_path_exists_red::
      "path paths.red == $(paths.red)";
      "path paths.path[red] == $(paths.path[red])";

    !_stdlib_path_exists_red::
      "path paths.red was not found";
      "path paths.path[red] was not found";
}

Additionally several path entries are present to aid in policy sharing between unix systems and Android Termux environments.

Example:

bundle agent track_sshd_config
{
  files:
    "$(paths.etc_path)/sshd/sshd_config"
      changes => detect_all_change;
}

In case of termux, paths.etc_path will be /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc.

History:

  • Ability to extend paths by tagging classic array variables added 3.17.0 (works with binary version 3.11.0 and greater)

Implementation:

bundle common paths
