Augeas is a free software configuration-management library, written in the C programming language. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

Augeas uses programs called lenses (in reference to the Harmony Project[4]) to map a filesystem to an XML tree which can then be parsed using an XPath syntax, using a bidirectional transformation. Writing such lenses extends the amount of files Augeas can parse.

Bindings

Augeas has bindings for Python,[5] Ruby,[6] OCaml,[7] Perl,[8] Haskell,[9] Java,[10] PHP,[11] and Tcl.[12]

Programs using augeas

  • Certbot, ACME client
  • Puppet provides an Augeas module[13] which makes use of the Ruby bindings
  • SaltStack provides an Augeas module[14] which makes use of the python bindings
