Augeas parses configuration files described in lenses into a tree structure,
which it exposes through its public API. Changes made through the API are
written back to the initially read files.
.
Lenses are the building blocks of the file <-> tree transformation; they
combine parsing a file and building the tree (the get transformation), with
turning the tree back into an (updated) file (the put transformation).
.
The transformation works very hard to preserve comments and formatting
details. It is controlled by ``lens'' definitions that describe the file
format and the transformation into a tree. This package includes the official
set of lenses.
