[augeas-devel] Use of Record Sequences

[Bryan Kearney]

I have not read through Bison and Flex yet, so this discussion may be 
from ignorance. Is it possible to use one of the record labels as the 
unique key?

For example, the ipaddress or canonical for the host file or the type 
for the pam file. Trying to think through the use of it, I would want to 
be able to set / remove based on a logical id.. not exact placement in 
the file.

For .. example:

Add an ipaddress for augeas.net.

set /system/config/hosts/augeas.net/ipaddress 192.222.333.111

or remove the record completlu:

clear /system/config/hosts/augeas.net


it looks like the key element can do that for me. Is that correct?
