NetApp::Filer::Export -- OO Class for representing NFS exports

       This class encapsulates a single NFS export on a NetApp filer, and provides methods for managing them.
       There are related methods in the NetApp::Filer class for manging exports as a whole, but the methods in
       this class are specific to a single NFS export.

   APIspecificattributes
       This API also attempts to bring some sanity to how exports are managed, and some consistency to the
       interface.  Most of the attributes of an export are fairly obvious, and they map directly to the options
       supported by "exportfs" and the /etc/exports file.  This API introduces two new attributes: 'type' and
       'active';

       Thetypeattribute

       In order to distinguish between exports which are temporary (i.e. NOT saved to /etc/exports) and those
       which are permanent (i.e. ARE saved to /etc/exports), this API support a "type", which be either of:

           permanent
           temporary

       A temporary export is one which was created using "exportfs -io", and which was not saved to
       /etc/exports.  These exports will not survive a reboot of the filer.

       A permanent export is one which is found in /etc/exports.

       Theactiveattribute

       Since you can change the export options for a filesystem temporarily (for example, by using the "fencing"
       option -b, or just manually specifying different options and re-exporting using -io), some permanent
       exports may not be in effect on the system.

       The active attribute is used to track these.  If the active attribute is true, then the export is
       currently in effect.  Almost by definition, all temporary exports are always active.  However, if a
       permanent export is not in effect because a temporary export for the same pathname has been created, then
       such an export is considerd inactive.

   Globalvs.Limitedro/rwAttributes
       The "ro" and "rw" export options really have two different modes of use.  If either option is specified
       with no "=a[:b[:c...]]" list, then it means ALL hosts.  Since this API provides methods for adding and
       removing entries from those lists, it treats the "all" cases special, by managing thenm as separate
       attributes.

       To specify global readonly or readwrite access, use the following options:

           ro_all
           rw_all

       These have boolean values.  The "rw" and "ro" attributes/options are ARRAY references, each containing
       the list of entries for an "rw=" or "ro=" list for managing limited access.

   ChangeandUpdateSemantics
       There are several methods for changing the attributes of an export object, but in ALL cases, these merely
       change the object in memory.  In order for the attribute change to take effect, the update method must be
       called, which will generate and execute the appropriate "exportfs" command.

       For example, suppose you wanted to remove root access for a specific hostname from all exports on a
       filer:

           my $untrusted       = 'unsafe.foo.com';

           my @exports         = $filer->get_exports;

           foreach my $export ( @exports ) {
               if ( $export->has_root( $untrusted ) ) {
                   $export->remove_root( $untrusted );
                   $export->update;
               }
           }

       The "remove_root" method simply removes the entry from the object in memory.  The "update" method re-
       exports that filesystem to make the change take effect on the filer.

get_filer
       Returns the NetApp::Filer object for the filer on which this export exists.

   get_type
       Returns a string with one of the following values:

           temporary
           permanent

       indicating whether or not this particular export has been written to /etc/exports.

   get_active
       Returns a boolean value, false only if the type is "permanent", and the same export was not found in the
       list of currently active exports (i.e. not found in the output of "exportfs").  A temporary export is
       always active, by definition.

   get_path
       Returns a string representing the path for the export.  Note that this may not necessarily be the same as
       the actual pathname of the underlying volume or qtree.

   get_actual
       Returns a string representing the "actual" path of the underlying volume or qtree for the export.  If a
       volume or qtree as been exported using a different name, this is the actual path of the underlying
       object.  If this export option was not used, this method will return an empty string.

   get_nosuid
       Returns a boolean value, indicating whether or not the "nosuid" option is used by the export.

   set_nosuid($boolean)
       This method takes a single argument, interpreted in boolean context, an sets the "nosuid" option for the
       export.

   get_anon
       Returns the value of the "anon" option, if set.  Since this option can have the value of "0", it returns
       undef when this option has not been set.

       WARNING: be careful interpreting this in a simple boolean context.  To test whether or not this option
       has been set use "defined".

   set_anon($anon)
       Takes a single argument, and sest the "anon" opton to that value.  To unset this option, pass an
       undefined value:

           $export->set_anon( undef );

   get_sec
       Returns a list of the "sec" option values.

   set_sec($arrayref)
       Takes a single argument, an array reference of "sec" values, which can be any of: none, sec, krb5, krb5i,
       or krb5p.  This API does no validation of these values, so if an invalid value is given, this will result
       in a fatal exception when the "update" method is called.

   has_sec($sec)
       Takes a single string argument, and returns true if that value is found in the list of "sec" options,
       false otherwise.

   add_sec($sec)
       Takes a single string argument, and adds that value to the list of "sec" options, if not already present.

   remove_sec($sec)
       Takes a single string argument, and removes that value from the list of "sec" options, if present.

   get_root
       Returns a list of the "root" option values.

   set_root($arrayref)
       Takes a single argument, an array reference of "root" values, which can be any combination of hostnames,
       IP addresses, or networks.  Again, no data validation is performed, so bogus values will not be detected
       until the export is updated on the filer, using the "update" method.

       To clear the root option entirely, simply pass an empty array reference.

   has_root($root)
       Takes a single string argument, and returns true if that value is found in the list of "root" options,
       false otherwise.

   add_root($root)
       Takes a single string argument, and adds that value to the list of "root" options, if not already
       present.

   remove_root($root)
       Takes a single string argument, and removes that value from the list of "root" options, if present.

   get_ro_all
       Returns a boolean value, indicating whether or not the "ro_all" option has been set.

   set_ro_all($boolean)
       Takes a single boolean argument, and sets the "ro_all" option to it's value.  Setting "ro_all" to a true
       value will clear the "ro" list, if it exists.

       Also, if "ro_all" is true, then the following methods will quietly do nothing:

           has_ro
           add_ro
           remove_ro

       The "ro_all" option must be cleared (set to a false value) first.

   get_ro
       Returns a list of the "ro" entries, if any.  Returns nothing if "ro_all" has been set.

   set_ro($arrayref)
       Takes a single argument, an array reference of "ro" values.  Setting the "ro" list explicitly will set
       clear "ro_all" (set it to a false value).

   has_ro($ro)
       Takes a single argument, and returns true if that value is found in the list of "ro" options, false
       otherwise.  If "ro_all" is true, then it always returns false.

   add_ro($ro)
       Takes a single string argument, and adds that value to the list of "ro" options, if not already present.
       If "ro_all" is true, then this method will do nothing.

   remove_ro($ro)
       Takes a single string argument, and removes that value from the list of "ro" options, if present.  If
       "ro_all" is true, then this method does nothing.

   get_rw_all,set_rw_all,get_rw,set_rw,has_rw,add_rw,remove_rw
       All of these methods behave exactly the same as their "ro" counterparts described immediately above.
       They apply to the "rw" option, instead of "ro", but if that isn't obvious...

   update
       This method re-exports the export, using "exportfs".  If ANY of the object attributes have been changed
       programmatically, those changes will not take effect on the filer until this method has been called.

       Note that updating an export will not necessarily change it's "type" from temporary to permanent, unless
       the "type" is explicitly changed.

   compare($export)
       This method takes a single NetApp::Filer::Export object, and compares the current object (that is, the
       one on which the method was called) to it.  If they have the same basic export options, it returns true,
       otherwise, it returns false.  Only the following options are compared:

           actual
           nosuid
           anon
           sec
           root
           rw/rw_all
           ro/ro_all
