Common CLI Parameters

--address

The --address parameter specifies the IP address of the main server. It is used by subsystem applications that are not on the same local system as the main server.

leaf address {
    type inet:ip-address;
}

Syntax	ip-address
Default:	none
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	combo-app sil-sa-app py-sil-app
Example:	sil-sa-app --address=192.168.1.25

--alt-names

The --alt-names parameter specifies whether the server will recognize the ywx:alt-name YANG extension which allows an alternate name to be used for a node in the database. This defines the alternate name search mode that should be used when resolving YANG node names in leafs or leaf-lists using the UrlPath data type.

• If 'true' then nodes with an 'alt-name' defined will be considered a match if the YANG name or the alternative name matches the search string.

• If 'false' then only the YANG node name will be used in node name searches.";

The real name will be checked before the alt-name if it is used, so the alt-name extension cannot be used if there is a node already in the system with a real name that matches the alt-name.

leaf alt-names {
  type ywt:AltNameMode;
}

Syntax	boolean
Default:	true
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	netconfd-pro yangcli-pro
Example:	netconfd-pro --alt-names=false

--binary-display-maxlen

The --binary-display-maxlen parameter specifies the maximum number of bytes to display when dumping the contents of a binary value. Normally a message will be displayed showing the name and length.

If this parameter is set to a value greater than zero then a standard 8-byte per line hex dump of the binary type will also be displayed for a maximum number of bytes set by this parameter.

• The value '0' disables display of binary data nodes

• Debugging: Use a value such as '4000' to enable the hex dump

leaf binary-display-maxlen {
  type uint32;
  default 0;
}

Syntax	uint32
Default:	0
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	yangcli-pro, netconfd-pro
Example:	netconfd-pro --binary-display-maxlen=100

--ca

The --ca parameter specifies the gNMI server CA certificate file. The path to the CA certificate should be absolute.

--ca parameter

Syntax	filespec
Default:	none
Min Allowed:	1
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	ypgnmi-app
Example:	ypgnmi-app --ca=/tmp/ca.crt

--cert

The --cert parameter specifies the gNMI server certificate file. The path to the certificate should be absolute.

--cert parameter

Syntax	filespec
Default:	none
Min Allowed:	1
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	ypgnmi-app
Example:	ypgnmi-app --cert=/tmp/cert.crt

--config

The --config parameter specifies the name of a YumaPro configuration file that contains more parameters to process, in addition to the CLI parameters. The --no-config parameter can be used instead of this parameter to force the server to skip loading the default config file if it is present.

For netconfd-pro, this parameter is ignored if the --no-nvstore parameter is used.

Refer to the Configuration Files section for details on the format of this file.

leaf config {
  type string;
}

Syntax	string: complete file specification of the text file to parse for more parameters.
Default:	/etc/yumapro/<program-name>.conf
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	yangcli-pro netconfd-pro yangdiff-pro yangdump-pro
Example:	yangcli-pro --config=~/testconf.conf

--datapath

The --datapath parameter specifies the directory search path to use while searching for data files. It consists of a colon (':') separated list of path specifications, commonly found in Unix, such as the $PATH environment variable.

This parameter overrides the $YUMAPRO_DATAPATH environment variable, if it is present.

leaf datapath {
  type yt:NcPathList;
}

Syntax	string: list of directory specifications
Default:	$YUMAPRO_DATAPATH environment variable
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	netconfd-pro yangcli-pro yangdiff-pro yangdump-pro
Example:	yangcli-pro --datapath=”~/work2:~/data”

--deviation

The --deviation parameter is a leaf-list of modules that should be loaded automatically when the program starts, as a deviation module. In this mode, only the deviation statements are parsed and then made available later when the module that contains the objects being deviated is parsed.

~/some/path ==> <my-home-dir>/some/path

~fred/some/path ==> <fred-home-dir>/some/path

$workdir/some/path ==> <workdir-env-var>/some/path

The deviations must be known to the parser before the target module is parsed.

This parameter is used to identify any modules that have deviation statements for the set of modules being parsed (e.g., --module and --subtree parameters).

A module can be listed with both the --module and --deviation parameters, but that is not needed unless the module contains external deviations. If the module only contains deviations for objects in the same module, then the --deviation parameter does not need to be used.

The program will attempt to load each module in deviation parsing mode, in the order the parameters are entered.

For the netconfd-pro program, If any modules have fatal errors then the program will terminate.

For the yangdump-pro and yangcli-pro programs, each module will be processed as requested.

Deviations are applied as patches to the target module. Since they are not identified in the target module at all (ala imports), they have to be specified explicitly, so they will be correctly processed.

If this string represents a filespec, ending with the '.yang' or '.yin' extension, then only that file location will be checked.

If this string represents a module name, then the module search path will be checked for a file with the module name and the '.yang' or '.yin' extension.

If this string begins with a '~' character, then a username is expected to follow or a directory separator character. If it begins with a '$' character, then an environment variable name is expected to follow.

leaf-list deviation {
    type yt:NcModuleSpec;
}

--feature-disable

The --feature-disable parameter directs all programs to disable a specific feature.

This parameter is a formatted string containing a module name, followed by a colon ':', followed by a feature name, e.g.,

test:feature1

It is an error if a --feature-enable and --feature-disable parameter specify the same feature.

Parameters for unknown features will be ignored.

  type yt:FeatureSpec;
}

Syntax	formatted string (module:feature
Default:	none
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	unlimited
Supported by:	yangcli-pro yangdiff-pro yangdump-pro netconfd-pro
Example:	netconfd-pro --feature-disable=test:feature1

--feature-enable

The --feature-enable parameter directs all programs to enable a specific feature.

This parameter is a formatted string containing a module name, followed by a colon ':', followed by a feature name, e.g.,

test:feature1

It is an error if a --feature-disable and --feature-enable parameter specify the same feature.

Parameters for unknown features will be ignored.

leaf-list feature-enable {
  type yt:FeatureSpec;
}

Syntax	formatted string (module:feature
Default:	none
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	unlimited
Supported by:	yangcli-pro yangdiff-pro yangdump-pro netconfd-pro
Example:	netconfd-pro --feature-enable=test:feature1

--feature-enable-default

The --feature-enable-default parameter controls how netconfd-pro will enabled YANG features in modules by default.

If 'true', then by default, features will be enabled.

If 'false', then by default, features will be disabled.

If a --feature-enable or --feature-disable parameter is present for a specific feature, then this parameter will be ignored for that feature.

leaf feature-enable-default {
  type boolean;
  default true;
}

Syntax	boolean (true or false)
Default:	true
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	yangcli-pro yangdiff-pro yangdump-pro netconfd-pro
Example:	netconfd-pro --feature-enable-default=false

--fileloc-fhs

The --fileloc-fhs parameter is used to control where data files are kept. It is used by the following programs

• netconfd-pro

• ypgrpc-go-app

• ypgnmi-go-app

leaf fileloc-fhs {
   type boolean;
   default false;
}

Syntax	boolean (true or false)
Default:	false
Min Allowed:	0
Max Allowed:	1
Supported by:	netconfd-pro ypgnmi-app
Example:	netconfd-pro --fileloc-fhs=true

fileloc-fhs behavior for netconfd-pro

The --fileloc-fhs parameter is used to control where the server keeps its data files.

If -fileloc-fhs=true:

if true, then the server should use Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) directory locations to create and store server data. May need to run as root..

The FHS server log file will be created by default unless the 'log' parameter is used, then that location will be used instead. If the 'no-log' parameter is present then no log will be created.

The FHS audit log file will be created by default unless the 'audit-log' parameter is used, then that location will be used instead. If the 'no-audit-log' parameter is present then no audit log will be created.

server log	/var/log/netconfd-pro/server.log
audit log	/var/log/netconfd-pro/audit.log
config file	/var/lib/netconfd-pro/startup-cfg.xml
TXID file	/var/lib/netconfd-pro/startup-cfg-txid.txt
backups	/var/lib/netconfd-pro/backups/backup1.xml
PID file	/var/run/netconfd-pro/netconfd-pro.pid
AF socket	/var/run/netconfd-pro/ncxserver.sock

If --fileloc-fhs=false:

If false then the server will use $HOME/.yumapro and other file locations to store server data.

File Type	Example
server log	STDOUT; no server log created by default no output at all if --no-log used
audit log	STDOUT; no audit log created by default
config file	$HOME/.yumapro/startup-cfg.xml
TXID file	$HOME/.yumapro/startup-cfg-txid.txt
backups	$HOME/.yumapro/backups/backup1.xml
PID file	$HOME/.yumapro/netconfd-pro.pid
AF socket	/tmp/ncxserver.sock

fileloc-fhs behavior for ypgnmi-go-app and ypgrpc-go-app

The --fileloc-fhs parameter specifies whether the ypgnmi-app should use Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) directory locations to create, store and use data and files. May need to run as root. If false then the server will use $HOME/.yumapro and other file locations to store application data and to access the netconfd-pro files.

--help

The --help parameter causes program help text to be printed, and then the program will exit instead of running as normal.

This parameter can be combined with the --help-mode parameter to control the verbosity of the help text. Use --brief for less, and --full for more than the normal verbosity.

This parameter can be combined with the --version parameter in all programs. It can also be combined with the --show-errors parameter in yangdump-pro.

The program configuration parameters will be displayed in alphabetical order, not in schema order.

--log-level

The --log-level parameter controls the verbosity level of messages printed to the log file or STDOUT, if no log file is specified.

The log levels are incremental, meaning that each higher level includes everything from the previous level, plus additional messages.

There are 8 settings that can be used:

• none: All logging is suppressed. Use with extreme caution!

• error: Error messages are printed, indicating problems that require attention.

• warn: Warning messages are printed, indicating problems that may require attention.

• info: Informational messages are printed, that indicate program status changes.

• debug: Debugging messages are printed that indicate program activity.

• debug2: Protocol debugging and trace messages are enabled.

• debug3: Very verbose debugging messages are enabled. This has an impact on resources and performance, and should be used with caution.

• debug4: Maximum debugging messages are enabled. This has an impact on resources and performance, and should be used with caution.

--log-syslog-level

The --log-syslog-level parameter acts as a filter for the message level sent to the syslog or vendor output stream. The filter level is set by default to “info” if not specified.

The log levels are incremental, meaning that each higher level includes everything from the previous level, plus additional messages.

This parameter uses the same values as the --log-level parameter.

leaf log-syslog-level {
  type yt:NcDebugType;
}

Syntax	enumeration: off error warn info debug debug2 debug3 debug4

This does not affect the indentation for logging messages, which is controlled by the --indent parameter.

• The values 0 to 9 indicate the number of spaces to indent after each new line.

• The value -1 requests that no newlines or indentation will be used in protocol messages..

• If this parameter represents an existing directory, then the --defnames parameter will be set to 'true' by default.

• If this parameter represents a file name, then the --defnames parameter will be ignored, and all translation output will be directed to the specified file.

• If this string begins with a '~' character, then a username is expected to follow or a directory separator character. If it begins with a '$' character, then an environment variable name is expected to follow.

  ~/some/path ==> <my-home-dir>/some/path
  
  ~fred/some/path ==> <fred-home-dir>/some/path
  
  $workdir/some/path ==> <workdir-env-var>/some/path
  

• If the target specified in this parameter does not exist:

  • If there is only one file to be output, then this parameter is used as the file name.

  • If there are multiple files to be output, then this parameter is used as a directory name. A new directory will be created, if it is needed.

• If the target specified in this parameter does exist:

  • If there is only one file to be output:

    • If the existing target is also a file, then the current file is over-written.

    • If the existing target is a directory, then the output file will be created in this directory.

  • If there are multiple files to be output:

    • If the existing target is a file, then an error will be generated instead of the output files.

    • If the existing target is a directory, then the output files will be created in the specified directory.

• Use a trailing path separator character to force this parameter value to be treated as a path specification (e.g., '~/workfiles/').

• This parameter is ignored if the --format parameter is missing.

--wildcard-keys

The --wildcard-keys parameter controls whether the server will support YANG-API/RESTCONF URL requests that contain a dash character '-' to indicate all instances of that key leaf.

• Set to 'true' if UrlPath targets for GET operations are allowed to replace key values with the dash '-' character to indicate that all instances of that key are requested.

• Set to false to treat the '-' character as a plain character if entered as a key value in a UrlPath string.

leaf wildcard-keys {

--with-ocpattern

The --with-ocpattern parameter controls whether the server will support the OpenConfig usage of the YANG pattern statement.

• If true, then OpenConfig patterns with be checked

  • If the module name starts with the string 'openconfig-' then all pattern statements within that module are treated as POSIX patterns, not YANG patterns.

  • Otherwise the module pattern statements will be checked as YANG patterns.

• If false, then the pattern statements in all modules will be checked as YANG patterns.

• If the oc-ext:regexp-posix extension is found in the module then this parameter will be ignored and Posix patterns will be used.

  leaf with-ocpattern {
      type boolean;
      default false;

The --yumapro-home parameter specifies the project directory root to use when searching for files.

If present, this directory location will override the $YUMAPRO_HOME environment variable, if it is set. If this parameter is set to a zero-length string, then the $YUMAPRO_HOME environment variable will be ignored.

The following directories are searched when either the $YUMAPRO_HOME environment variable or this parameter is set:

• $YUMAPRO_HOME/modules

  • This sub-tree is searched for YANG files.

• $YUMAPRO_HOME/data

  • This directory is searched for data files.

--with-term-msg

The --with-term-msg parameter specifies if the <term-msg> notification should be supported. If set to 'true', then the yumaworks-term-msg module will be loaded and enabled. Otherwise, this module will not be loaded. The <term-msg> notification is used by yp-shell for displaying terminal diagnostic messages.

The server API function agt_make_term_msg can be used by SIL or SIL-SA code to generate a <term-msg> notification.

The yp-shell and yangcli-pro programs will automatically display the <term-msg> as a terminal message if the --with-term-msg parameter is also set to “true” for the client program.
