Package find implements inventory listing and searching.
|
|
|
|
The Finder is an alternative to the object.SearchIndex FindByInventoryPath() and FindChild() methods.
|
|
SearchIndex.FindByInventoryPath requires an absolute path, whereas the Finder also supports relative paths
|
|
and patterns via path.Match.
|
|
SearchIndex.FindChild requires a parent to find the child, whereas the Finder also supports an ancestor via
|
|
recursive object traversal.
|
|
|
|
The various Finder methods accept a "path" argument, which can absolute or relative to the Folder for the object type.
|
|
The Finder supports two modes, "list" and "find". The "list" mode behaves like the "ls" command, only searching within
|
|
the immediate path. The "find" mode behaves like the "find" command, with the search starting at the immediate path but
|
|
also recursing into sub Folders relative to the Datacenter. The default mode is "list" if the given path contains a "/",
|
|
otherwise "find" mode is used.
|
|
|
|
The exception is to use a "..." wildcard with a path to find all objects recursively underneath any root object.
|
|
For example: VirtualMachineList("/DC1/...")
