Command Line Engines

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With *command engines* administrators can run engines to integrate arbitrary
 | 
						|
shell commands.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When creating and enabling a ``command`` engine on a public instance, you must
 | 
						|
be careful to avoid leaking private data.  The easiest solution is to limit the
 | 
						|
access by setting ``tokens`` as described in section :ref:`private engines`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The engine base is flexible.  Only your imagination can limit the power of this
 | 
						|
engine (and maybe security concerns).  The following options are available:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``command``:
 | 
						|
  A comma separated list of the elements of the command.  A special token
 | 
						|
  ``{{QUERY}}`` tells where to put the search terms of the user. Example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  .. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     ['ls', '-l', '-h', '{{QUERY}}']
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``delimiter``:
 | 
						|
  A mapping containing a delimiter ``char`` and the *titles* of each element in
 | 
						|
  ``keys``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``parse_regex``:
 | 
						|
  A dict containing the regular expressions for each result key.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``query_type``:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The expected type of user search terms.  Possible values: ``path`` and
 | 
						|
  ``enum``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ``path``:
 | 
						|
    Checks if the user provided path is inside the working directory.  If not,
 | 
						|
    the query is not executed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ``enum``:
 | 
						|
    Is a list of allowed search terms.  If the user submits something which is
 | 
						|
    not included in the list, the query returns an error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``query_enum``:
 | 
						|
  A list containing allowed search terms if ``query_type`` is set to ``enum``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``working_dir``:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  The directory where the command has to be executed.  Default: ``./``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
``result_separator``:
 | 
						|
  The character that separates results. Default: ``\n``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The example engine below can be used to find files with a specific name in the
 | 
						|
configured working directory:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  - name: find
 | 
						|
    engine: command
 | 
						|
    command: ['find', '.', '-name', '{{QUERY}}']
 | 
						|
    query_type: path
 | 
						|
    shortcut: fnd
 | 
						|
    delimiter:
 | 
						|
        chars: ' '
 | 
						|
        keys: ['line']
 | 
						|
 |
