textproc/py-ntc_templates - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Repository of TextFSM Templates for Network Devices, and Python
wrapper for TextFSM's CliTable.

TextFSM is a project built by Google that takes CLI string output
and passes each line through a series of regular expressions until
it finds a match. The regular expressions use named capture groups
to build a text table out of the significant text. The names of
the capture groups are used as column headers, and the captured
values are stored as rows in the table.

This project provides a large collection of TextFSM Templates (text
parsers) for a variety of Networking Vendors. In addition to the
templates, there is a function that will convert the CLI output
into a CliTable object; the resulting text table is converted into
a list of dictionaries mapping the column headers with each row in
the table.
