Modules can currently be set only via configuration file, if rteval is called from a script run on different systems, the only way to make sure the loaded modules are known is to provide (or generate) a configuration file and pass it via -f/--infile . Add the possibility to use - as input file to read the configuration via standard input. This allows something like: # rteval -f - << EOF [measurement] timerlat: module [loads] stressng: module EOF Signed-off-by: Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@xxxxxxxxxx> --- rteval/rtevalConfig.py | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/rteval/rtevalConfig.py b/rteval/rtevalConfig.py index 0c2fc6b..4c41ed7 100644 --- a/rteval/rtevalConfig.py +++ b/rteval/rtevalConfig.py @@ -238,10 +238,14 @@ class rtevalConfig: # Don't try to reread this file if it's already been parsed return - self.__info(f"reading config file {cfgfile}") ini = configparser.ConfigParser() ini.optionxform = str - ini.read(cfgfile) + if cfgfile == "-": + self.__info("reading config file stdin") + ini.read_file(sys.stdin) + else: + self.__info(f"reading config file {cfgfile}") + ini.read(cfgfile) # wipe any previously read config info if not append: base-commit: 5edb31a58bea3c2433e817439e053b79221a06df -- 2.47.1
