Sorry about the freemail -- The uni, in their infinite wisdom, decided to take down the campus' mail system for all of fall break. Pardon me if these are a bit ignorant: 1) I'm assuming the name of the mainboard itself will be the status file name. Or will that only be contained in mainboard-revision? 2) Links: http>:<//www.linuxbios.org; Will this be a problem?
Here, based on input, is the mainboard status file format. >Comments welcome!
If I don't hear any more ideas I will put this out today or >monday.
# These are keyword-value pairs. # a : separates the keyword from the value # the value is arbitrary text delimited by newline. # continuation, if needed, will be via the \ at the end of a line # comments are indicated by a '#' as the first character. # the keywords are case-INSENSITIVE

No, the name is always STATUS, but it's location is in src/mainboard/<vendor>/<mainboard-name>, so that is how it is disambiguated.

OOPS! Hmm, what's a sensible separator then? ron

As long as the keyword doesn't contain the separator it shouldn't matter. KEYWORD SEPARATOR VALUE KEYWORD is any number of any characters excluding ":" SEPARATOR is the string ": " VALUE is the remaining characters up to a CR or LF And ":" IS the sensible separator IMO. //Peter
