specification mount about libelektra HOT 5 CLOSED

@markus2330 Which document contains the description of the participating keys below spec/? I remember that we discussed all required keys and you documented them somewhere, but I am unable to find the document despite extensive grepping.

from libelektra.

@fberlakovich Any keys can be below spec/ just like the application needs it. Within every key in spec the metadata holds what you are looking for. The metadata is documented in doc/METADATA.ini

e.g. for current fstab we would have:

[/filesystems]
needs/#0=fstab
mode=0775      ; marks that this is a "directory"

[/filesystems/device]
type=string
...

In this example we would have the key spec/filesystems that has the metadata needs/#0 and mode.

See src/plugins/fstab/README.md for another specification.

Okay, that explains it. I was wondering because I could remember the type=mountpoint metadata but couldn't find it. Am I correct assuming that it is deduced from the needs metadata that this key will be a mountpoint?

Its not fully specified. If you reliable can deduce it, its good. Maybe its
good if you first modify/extend the spec in METADATA.ini.

Closed because its out-of-scope now. Reopen if you want to continue this work.
