Public Class methods

parse(ts)

Returns two values, a header and a list of items. Each item is a tuple, containing some or all of:

  • machine keyword (including trailing whitespace+comments)
  • machine name
  • login keyword (including surrounding whitespace+comments)
  • login
  • password keyword (including surrounding whitespace+comments)
  • password
  • trailing chars

This lets us change individual fields, then write out the file with all its original formatting.

read(path=default_path)

Reads path and parses it as a .netrc file. If path doesn‘t exist, returns an empty object. Decrypt paths ending in .gpg.
