parse

Parses a frontend service file and writes the result to a directory.

Interface

parser [ -h ] [ -f ] [ -I ] service...

• Opens and reads the frontend service file.
• Runs a parser on the file.
• Writes the parsing result to the %%system_dir%%/system/service/svc/foo directory.

The absolute path of the frontend service file can also be set. In this case, the primary path of this absolute path must match %%service_system%% or %%service_adm%% or $HOME/%%service_user%% directory name e.g %%service_system%%/nptd/0.1.1/nptd.

Options

• -h: prints this help.

• -f: force. Owerwrite an existing parsing result.

• -I: do not imports modified configuration files from the previous version used. Refer to Service configuration file for further information.

Note

Users may not directly execute this command. It is primarily used internally by 66. 66 automatically handles a non-parsed service by invoking the parse command. Users who wish to parse a service again with the -f option should prefer using the reconfigure command.

However, a system administrator might want to parse a service frontend file under construction to ensure everything is functioning correctly without altering the system's state.
