OpenWrt offers a set of standard shell procedures to interface with UCI in order to efficiently read and process configuration files from within shell scripts. This is most likely useful for writing startup scripts in /etc/init.d/.

Loading

To be able to load UCI configuration files, you need to include the common functions with:

. /lib/functions.sh

(If your startup script starts with:

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common

then you do not need to include /lib/functions.sh directly, because /etc/rc.common includes /lib/functions.sh by default.)

Then you can use config_load name to load config files.

The function first checks for name as absolute filename and falls back to loading it from /etc/config/ (which is the most common way of using it).

Callbacks

The first method for parsing an UCI config file is through callbacks, which will be called for each section, option and list encountered during parsing.

You can define three callbacks: config_cb(), option_cb(), and list_cb(). You need to define these functions before calling config_load, but after including /lib/functions.sh.

Additionally, you may call reset_cb() to reset all three callbacks to no-op functions.

''config_cb'' callback

The config_cb procedure is called every time a UCI section heading is encountered during parsing. Also an extra call to config_cb (without any argument) is generated after config_load is done. This may be useful if you accumulate something while parsing options (see below) and want to do something with the accumulated values (write them to a file, …) when a section has been entirely parsed.

When called, the procedure receives two arguments:

1. Type, the section type, e.g. interface for config interface wan
2. Name, the section name, e.g. wan for config interface wan or an autogenerated ID like cfg13abef for anonymous sections like config route

config_cb() {
    local type="$1"
    local name="$2"
    # commands to be run for every section
}

Also an extra call to config_cb (without a new section) is generated after config_load is done - this allows you to process sections both before and after all options were processed.

''option_cb'' callback

Similar to config_cb, the option_cb procedure is called each time a UCI option is encountered.

When called, the procedure receives two arguments:

1. Name, the option name, e.g. ifname for option ifname eth0
2. Value, the option value, e.g. eth0 for option ifname eth0

option_cb() {
    local name="$1"
    local value="$2"
    # commands to be run for every option
}

Within the callback, the ID of the current section is accessible via the $CONFIG_SECTION variable.

You can define option_cb inside config_cb: this allows to define different option_cb callbacks based on the section type. This allows you to process every single config section based on its type individually.

''list_cb'' callback

list_cb works exactly like option_cb above, but gets called each time a list item is encountered.

When called, the procedure receives two arguments:

1. Name, the list name, e.g. server for list server 192.168.42.1
2. Value, the list value, e.g. 192.168.42.1 for list server 192.168.42.1

list_cb() {
    local name="$1"
    local value="$2"
    # commands to be run for every list item
}

Each item of a given list generates a new call to list_cb.

Iterating (config_foreach)

An alternative approach to callback based parsing is iterating the configuration sections with the config_foreach procedure.

The config_foreach procedure takes at least one argument:

1. Function, name of a previously defined procedure called for each encountered section
2. Type (optional), only iterate sections of the given type, skip others
3. Additional arguments (optional), all following arguments are passed to the callback procedure as-is

In the example below, the handle_interface procedure is called for each config interface section in /etc/config/network. The string test is passed as second argument on each invocation.

handle_interface() {
    local config="$1"
    local custom="$2"
    # run commands for every interface section
}

config_load network
config_foreach handle_interface interface test

It is possible to abort the iteration from within the callback by returning a non-zero value (return 1).

Within the per-section callback, the config_get or config_set procedures may be used to read or set values belonging to the currently processed section.

Reading options (config_get)

The config_get procedure takes at least three arguments:

1. Name of a variable to store the retrieved value in
2. ID of the section to read the value from
3. Name of the option to read the value from
4. Default (optional), value to return instead if option is unset

...
# read the value of "option ifname" into the "iface" variable
# $config contains the ID of the current section
local iface
config_get iface "$config" ifname
echo "Interface name is $iface"
...

Setting options (config_set)

The config_set procedure takes three arguments:

1. ID of the section to set the option in
2. Name of the option to assign the value to
3. Value to assign

...
# set the value of "option auto" to "0"
# $config contains the ID of the current section
config_set "$config" auto 0
...

Note:

• values changed with config_set are only kept in memory. Subsequent calls to config_get will return the updated values but the underlying configuration files are not altered. If you want to alter values, use the uci_* functions from /lib/config/uci.sh which are automatically included by /etc/functions.sh.
• config_set is arcane and buggy (config_get is fine), use “uci set” instead.

Direct access

If the name of a configuration section is known in advance (it is named), options can be read directly without using a section iterator callback.

The example below reads “option proto” from the “config interface wan” section.

...
local proto
config_get proto wan proto
echo "Current WAN protocol is $proto"
...

Reading lists

Some UCI configurations may contain list options in the form:

...
list network lan
list network wifi
...

Calling config_get on the network list will return the list values separated by space, lan wifi in this example.

However, this behaviour might break values if the list items itself contain spaces like illustrated below:

...
list animal 'White Elephant'
list animal 'Mighty Unicorn'
...

The config_get approach would return the values in the form White Elephant Mighty Unicorn and the original list items are not clearly separated anymore.

To circumvent this problem, the config_list_foreach iterator can be used. It works similar to config_foreach but operates on list values instead of config sections.

The config_list_foreach procedure takes at least three arguments:

1. ID of the section to read the list from
2. Name of the list option to read items from
3. Procedure to call for each list item
4. Additional arguments (optional), all following arguments are passed to the callback procedure as-is

# handle list items in a callback
# $config contains the ID of the section
handle_animal() {
    local value="$1"
    # do something with $value
}

config_list_foreach "$config" animal handle_animal

Note: for editing value, use the uci command line tool.

Reading booleans

Boolean options may contain various values to signify a true value like on, true, enabled or 1.

The config_get_bool procedure simplifies the process of reading a boolean option and casting it to a plain integer value (1 for true and 0 for false).

At least three arguments are expected by the procedure:

1. Name of a variable to store the retrieved value in
2. ID of the section to read the value from
3. Name of the option to read the value from
4. Default (optional), boolean value to return if option is unset

Should I use callbacks or explicit access to options?

It depends on what you want to parse.

Use case and example for callbacks

If, for a given section, all options should be treated in the same way (say, write them to a config file), whatever their order or name, then callbacks are a good option. It allows you to parse all options without having to know their name in advance.

For instance, consider this script:

config_cb() {
    local type="$1"
    local name="$2"
    if [ "$type" = "mysection" ]
    then
        option_cb() {                                            
            local option="$1"                                
            local value="$2"                                 
            echo "${option//_/-} $value" >> /var/etc/myfile.conf
        }
    else {
        option_cb() { return; }
    }
}

This would parse a configuration like this one:

config mysection foo
    option link_quality auto
    option rxcost 256
    option hello_inverval 4

And generate a file containing:

link-quality auto
rxcost 256
hello-interval 4

Use case and example for direct access

On the other hand, if different options play a very different role, then it may be more convenient to pick each option explicitly.

For instance, babeld has the following syntax for filters:

{in|out|redistribute} selector* [allow|deny|metric n]

where a selector can be one of:

local
ip prefix
proto p
if interface
...

At most one instance of each selector type is allowed in a filter. The UCI configuration looks like this:

config filter
    option ip '172.22.0.0/15'
    option local 'true'
    option type 'redistribute'
    option action 'metric 128'

The result of this section should be:

redistribute ip 172.22.0.0/15 local metric 128

That is, the type should come first, then selectors (with a special case for local, which doesn't take an argument), and finally the action. The basic parsing method is the following:

parse_filter() {
    local section="$1"
    local _buffer
    local _value

    config_get _value "$section" "type"
    append _buffer "$_value"

    config_get _value "$section" "ip"
    append _buffer "ip $_value"
    config_get _value "$section" "proto"
    append _buffer "proto $_value"
    ...

    config_get_bool _value "$section" "local" 0
    [ "$_value" -eq 1 ] && append _buffer "local"

    config_get _value "$section" "action"
    append _buffer "$_value"

    echo "$_buffer" >> /var/etc/babeld.conf
}
config_load babeld
config_foreach parse_filter filter

Mixing the two styles

Of course, it is possible to mix the two styles of parsing, for instance parsing one section with callbacks and another section explicitly. Don't forget to reset or unset the callbacks (reset_cb or option_cb() { return; }) for sections you don't want to parse with callbacks.
