cdist-type__bird_function(7)¶

NAME¶

cdist-type__bird_function - Create a named function to use in configuring bird.

DESCRIPTION¶

This type writes a configuration file for the bird internet routing daemon. It is guaranteed that all functions defined through this type will be loaded before any other protocol defined using the cdist __bird_xxx types. However, note that if two functions have a dependency, they will be loaded in alphabetical order, so some care may need to be taken in the naming.

This type takes it’s input through stdin, expecting a valid function definition as per the bird configuration file syntax.

EXAMPLES¶

# Setup bird, a function and open a BGP session.
__bird_core --router-id 198.51.100.4

require='__bird_core' __bird_function is_device <<- EOF
    function is_device (enum source)
    {
    if (source = RTS_DEVICE) then return true;
    return false;
    }
EOF
