# Syndicate utils
|
|
|
|
## json_translator
|
|
|
|
Wrapper that executes a command, parses its JSON output, and sends a Preserves conversion as a message in an `<recv @jsonData any>` record.
|
|
|
|
## json_socket_translator
|
|
|
|
Utility to communicate with sockets that send and receive lines of JSON using `<send …>` and `<recv …>` messages. Compatible with [mpv](https://mpv.io/), see [mpv.config-example.pr](./mpv.config-example.pr).
|
|
|
|
Do not send messages immediately to the dataspace passed `json_socket_translator`, wait until it asserts `<connected @socketPath string>`.
|
|
|
|
## msg
|
|
|
|
A utility that sends a message to `$SYNDICATE_SOCK` in the form `<ARGV0 ARG1 … ARGVn>`.
|
|
The `$SYNDICATE_STEP` variables sets the SturdyRef capability with a default to the SturdyRef generated by `<ref { oid: "syndicate" key: #x"" }>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## net_mapper
|
|
|
|
Publishes ICMP packet round-trip-times. See [net_mapper.prs](./net_mapper.prs) for a protocol description. [Source](./src/net_mapper.nim).
|
|
|
|
Example script:
|
|
```
|
|
? <machine-dataspace ?machine> [
|
|
$machine ? <rtt "10.0.33.136" ?min ?avg ?max> [
|
|
$log ! <log "-" { ping: { min: $min avg: $avg max: $max } }>
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
$config [
|
|
<require-service <daemon net_mapper>>
|
|
<daemon net_mapper {
|
|
argv: ["/bin/net_mapper"]
|
|
protocol: application/syndicate
|
|
}>
|
|
? <service-object <daemon net_mapper> ?cap> [
|
|
$cap { dataspace: $machine }
|
|
]
|
|
]
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## preserve_process_environment
|
|
|
|
This utility serializes it's process environment to Preserves and prints it to stdout.
|
|
It can be used to feed the environment variables of a nested child of the Syndicate server back to the server. For example, to retreive the environmental variables that a desktop manager passed on to its children.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## syndicat
|
|
|
|
Utility for printing assertions and messages. Parses the command-line arguments as a pattern, connects to `$SYNDICATE_SOCK`, authenticates with the SturdyRef at `$SYNDICATE_STEP`, and writes observations to standard-output. Published assertions are prefixed by the `+` character, retractions by `-`, and messages by '!'.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Print patterns in use.
|
|
$ FS=':' syndicat '<Observe ? _>' | awk -F : '/^+/ { print $2 }'
|
|
```
