Pau Espin Pedrol pespin at sysmocom.deHi, > SET network|bts.0|trx.1|timeslot.0|training_sequence_code 3 > or > SET network#bts.0#trx.1#timeslot.0#training_sequence_code 3 I'd probably go for this one from all the ones you proposed. This way, you keep the usual CTRL structure ("." separating/slitting parameters), while you simply add a new character to specify "levels" or "nodes" (as per VTY terminology). Hence, each node is parsed the same way as the final command, and you can "easily" feed that into navigating the existing VTY tree. Example in pythonic way: str = "network|bts.0|trx.1|timeslot.0|training_sequence_code 3" nodes = str.split('|') for node in nodes: argv = node.split('.') if attempt_to_match_vty_node_or_command(argv) < 0: return cmd_reply_error; return The question here is how to define information in code to apply getter/setters for CTRL commands... I also find that the CTRL format in general is a bit restraining, both in specifying parameters, etc. as well as in reply content. Somebody may not like the idea, (and may be not directly related to the topic at hand), but perhaps looking at something similar to a REST interface which provides json output and which can easily be interacted using python or even curl directly. REST interface provides already way to provide levels/nodes (URL directories)as well as parameters "?foo=bar&hello=bye"). So using HTTP may not be needed, but it may make sense to reuse some REST related ideas, like URLs and json output (with C implementation in 1 file like cjson).
