[augeas-devel] How to insert empty nodes in Augeas trees?

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hello Xavier,


I was going to say that was not possible, but I actually (to my great
surprise) found a way to do it:

    augtool> touch /files/etc/fstab/01
    augtool> rename /files/etc/fstab/01 ""
    rename : /files/etc/fstab/01 to  1
    augtool> save
    Saved 1 file(s)

Just added an empty line at the end of /etc/fstab


Cheers,

Raphaël
