"""
A library for reading VyOS running config data.

This library is used internally by all config scripts of VyOS,
but its API should be considered stable and safe to use
in user scripts.

Note that this module will not work outside VyOS.

Node taxonomy
#############

There are multiple types of config tree nodes in VyOS, each requires
its own set of operations.

*Leaf nodes* (such as "address" in interfaces) can have values, but cannot
have children. 
Leaf nodes can have one value, multiple values, or no values at all.

For example, "system host-name" is a single-value leaf node,
"system name-server" is a multi-value leaf node (commonly abbreviated "multi node"),
and "system ip disable-forwarding" is a valueless leaf node.

Non-leaf nodes cannot have values, but they can have child nodes. They are divided into
two classes depending on whether the names of their children are fixed or not.
For example, under "system", the names of all valid child nodes are predefined
("login", "name-server" etc.).

To the contrary, children of the "system task-scheduler task" node can have arbitrary names.
Such nodes are called *tag nodes*. This terminology is confusing but we keep using it for lack
of a better word. No one remembers if the "tag" in "task Foo" is "task" or "Foo",
but the distinction is irrelevant in practice.

Configuration modes
###################

VyOS has two distinct modes: operational mode and configuration mode. When a user logins,
the CLI is in the operational mode. In this mode, only the running (effective) config is accessible for reading.

When a user enters the "configure" command, a configuration session is setup. Every config session
has its *proposed* (or *session*) config built on top of the current running config. When changes are commited, if commit succeeds,
the proposed config is merged into the running config.

In configuration mode, "base" functions like `exists`, `return_value` return values from the session config,
while functions prefixed "effective" return values from the running config.

In operational mode, all functions return values from the running config.
