Node selectors
These can be used on the command line to select a number of nodes.
See bw apply --help for a list of possible uses.
Item selectors
Item selectors provide a way to address multiple items e.g. when specifying dependencies between them.
| Example selector | Meaning |
|---|---|
file:/etc/motd | a single item |
file: | all items of that type |
bundle:foo | all items in that bundle |
tag:foo | all items with that tag |
tag: | all items with any tag |
All selectors can be prefixed with ! to select the inverse (e.g. !tag: means "all items without any tag").
Note that when you have a file item and add a dependency to file:, BundleWrap will resolve this to all other files. Similarily, when you add a dependency on tag: to all items with a certain tag through bundle.py, this will only target other tags to avoid an immediate loop.
