connect [force] [block] [cluster name]

This command creates a connection to ccsd. It returns a descriptor, which is used as an parameter to other commands.

The 'force' key-word is used to establish a connection to ccsd in the absence of a quorate cluster manager.

The 'block' key-word is used (with the 'force' key-word) to tell ccsd to keep broadcasting for a valid configuration file until one is found.

The 'cluster name' is used (with the 'force' key-word) to specify that only configuration files containing the given cluster name are valid possibilities.

get <desc> <request>

Get the results of a given request. The 'desc' is the number returned from the connect command. The 'request' is a valid Xpath request.

If 'request' results in multiple matches, the first will be returned. Subsequent calls with the same 'request' will result in the subsequent matches. Once all the matches have been returned, a subsequent call will begin again with the first result.

get_list <desc> <request>

Similar to the get command. However, issuing subsequent calls with the same 'request' will result in all matches being returned (one at a time), then null, then starting over with the first result.

set <desc> <path> <value>

Sets a particular 'path' to the given 'value'. Not yet implemented.

get_state <desc>

Get the state associated with a given connection.

set_state <desc> <ncwp>

Set the current working path (cwp) to 'ncwp' for a given connection.

To connect to ccsd:

To get the cluster name from ccsd:

To get the connection state:

To set the connection state:

After setting the connection state, note the change:

After setting the connection state, you can now query with an absolute or relative path:
