|
--section section |
Section to show or replace. If not specified, all sections are matched. |
-key key |
Key to show or replace. If not specified, all keys within section are matched. |
--print |
Print value only. If value is enclosed in quotes, those will be removed upon printing. |
--print-raw |
Print value exactly how it's defined in file. |
--delete |
Matched value will be deleted. If --key is not specified, the whole section will be removed. |
--append value |
Value to append onto a specified section. This will be done unconditionally, i.e. it might create duplicate values. |
--change value |
Value of entry will be changed if it exists. If entry is not found in specified section, no change will be done.
|
--edit value |
Value will be edited in specified section. If value does not exist, one will be appended. |
--pretty-print |
Output file will be made to look nicer. All lines that are not recognized as section, key/value entry, or comment will be removed. |
--trim |
Extra spaces before and after section name, key, or value will be removed. |
--no-comments |
Output file will not contain any comments. |
--in-place |
All changes will be done directly on file instead of outputing them to standard out. |
Examples
inied --section mysqld --key key_buffer --print examples/my.cnf
|
To show just the value, we need to specify --section, --key, and --print. |
inied --section mysqld --key key_buffer --edit 200M examples/my.cnf
|
To edit key to a particular value, you need to specify --section, --key, and --edit. If value is not present it will be appended to the end of section. |
inied --section mysqld --key key_buffer --delete examples/my.cnf
|
To delete the key, one has to specify --section, key, and --delete. |
inied --pretty-print examples/my.cnf
|
To clean up output, one can use --pretty-print. |
