[augeas-devel] Specifying file name and lens

[Alan Evans]

There's a good set of instructions at
http://augeas.net/page/Loading_specific_files.  What you're looking
for is specifically in the "Loading even less" section.

augtool> set /augeas/load/Fstab/incl "/etc/fstab"

I do this a lot for XML files, java properties files and shellvars style files.

Regards,
-Alan
