Target
======

.. class:: Target(connection_settings=None, platform=None, working_directory=None, executables_directory=None, connect=True, modules=None, load_default_modules=True, shell_prompt=DEFAULT_SHELL_PROMPT, conn_cls=None)

    :class:`~devlib.target.Target` is the primary interface to the remote
    device. All interactions with the device are performed via a
    :class:`~devlib.target.Target` instance, either directly, or via its
    modules or a wrapper interface (such as an
    :class:`~devlib.instrument.Instrument`).

    :param connection_settings: A ``dict`` that specifies how to connect to the
       remote device. Its contents depend on the specific
       :class:`~devlib.target.Target` type (used see
       :ref:`connection-types`\ ).

    :param platform: A :class:`~devlib.target.Target` defines interactions at
        Operating System level. A :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform` describes
        the underlying hardware (such as CPUs available). If a
        :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform` instance is not specified on
        :class:`~devlib.target.Target` creation, one will be created
        automatically and it will dynamically probe the device to discover
        as much about the underlying hardware as it can. See also
        :ref:`platform`\ .

    :param working_directory: This is primary location for on-target file system
        interactions performed by ``devlib``. This location *must* be readable
        and writable directly (i.e. without sudo) by the connection's user
        account. It may or may not allow execution. This location will be
        created, if necessary, during :meth:`setup()`.

        If not explicitly specified, this will be set to a default value
        depending on the type of :class:`~devlib.target.Target`

    :param executables_directory: This is the location to which ``devlib`` will
        install executable binaries (either during :meth:`setup()` or via an
        explicit :meth:`install()` call). This location *must* support execution
        (obviously). It should also be possible to write to this location,
        possibly with elevated privileges (i.e. on a rooted Linux target, it
        should be possible to write here with sudo, but not necessarily directly
        by the connection's account). This location will be created, if
        necessary, during :meth:`setup()`.

        This location does *not* need to be same as the system's executables
        location. In fact, to prevent devlib from overwriting system's defaults,
        it better if this is a separate location, if possible.

        If not explicitly specified, this will be set to a default value
        depending on the type of :class:`~devlib.target.Target`

    :param connect: Specifies whether a connections should be established to the
        target. If this is set to ``False``, then :meth:`connect()` must be
        explicitly called later on before the :class:`~devlib.target.Target`
        instance can be used.

    :param modules: a list of additional modules to be installed. Some modules
        will try to install by default (if supported by the underlying target).
        Current default modules are ``hotplug``, ``cpufreq``, ``cpuidle``,
        ``cgroups``, and ``hwmon`` (See :ref:`modules`\ ).

        See modules documentation for more detail.

    :param load_default_modules: If set to ``False``,  default modules listed
         above will *not* attempt to load. This may be used to either speed up
         target instantiation (probing for initializing modules takes a bit of
         time) or if there is an issue with one of the modules on a particular
         device (the rest of the modules will then have to be explicitly
         specified in the ``modules``).

    :param shell_prompt: This is a regular expression that matches the shell
         prompted on the target. This may be used by some modules that establish
         auxiliary connections to a target over UART.

    :param conn_cls: This is the type of connection that will be used to
        communicate with the device.

.. attribute:: Target.core_names

   This is a list containing names of CPU cores on the target, in the order in
   which they are index by the kernel. This is obtained via the underlying
   :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform`.

.. attribute:: Target.core_clusters

   Some devices feature heterogeneous core configurations (such as ARM
   big.LITTLE).  This is a list that maps CPUs onto underlying clusters.
   (Usually, but not always, clusters correspond to groups of CPUs with the same
   name). This is obtained via the underlying :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform`.

.. attribute:: Target.big_core

   This is the name of the cores that are the "big"s in an ARM big.LITTLE
   configuration. This is obtained via the underlying :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform`.

.. attribute:: Target.little_core

   This is the name of the cores that are the "little"s in an ARM big.LITTLE
   configuration. This is obtained via the underlying :class:`~devlib.platform.Platform`.

.. attribute:: Target.is_connected

   A boolean value that indicates whether an active connection exists to the
   target device.

.. attribute:: Target.connected_as_root

   A boolean value that indicate whether the account that was used to connect to
   the target device is "root" (uid=0).

.. attribute:: Target.is_rooted

   A boolean value that indicates whether the connected user has super user
   privileges on the devices (either is root, or is a sudoer).

.. attribute:: Target.kernel_version

   The version of the kernel on the target device. This returns a
   :class:`KernelVersion` instance that has separate ``version`` and ``release``
   fields.

.. attribute:: Target.os_version

   This is a dict that contains a mapping of OS version elements to their
   values. This mapping is OS-specific.

.. attribute:: Target.hostname

   A string containing the hostname of the target.

.. attribute:: Target.hostid

   A numerical id used to represent the identity of the target.

   .. note:: Currently on 64-bit PowerPC devices this id will always be 0. This is
             due to the included busybox binary being linked with musl.

.. attribute:: Target.system_id

   A unique identifier for the system running on the target. This identifier is
   intended to be unique for the combination of hardware, kernel, and file
   system.

.. attribute:: Target.model

   The model name/number of the target device.

.. attribute:: Target.cpuinfo

   This is a :class:`Cpuinfo` instance which contains parsed contents of
   ``/proc/cpuinfo``.

.. attribute:: Target.number_of_cpus

   The total number of CPU cores on the target device.

.. attribute:: Target.config

   A :class:`KernelConfig` instance that contains parsed kernel config from the
   target device. This may be ``None`` if kernel config could not be extracted.

.. attribute:: Target.user

   The name of the user logged in on the target device.

.. attribute:: Target.conn

   The underlying connection object. This will be ``None`` if an active
   connection does not exist (e.g. if ``connect=False`` as passed on
   initialization and :meth:`connect()` has not been called).

   .. note:: a :class:`~devlib.target.Target` will automatically create a
             connection per thread. This will always be set to the connection
             for the current thread.

.. method:: Target.connect([timeout])

   Establish a connection to the target. It is usually not necessary to call
   this explicitly, as a connection gets automatically established on
   instantiation.

.. method:: Target.disconnect()

   Disconnect from target, closing all active connections to it.

.. method:: Target.get_connection([timeout])

   Get an additional connection to the target. A connection can be used to
   execute one blocking command at time. This will return a connection that can
   be used to interact with a target in parallel while a blocking operation is
   being executed.

   This should *not* be used to establish an initial connection; use
   :meth:`connect()` instead.

   .. note:: :class:`~devlib.target.Target` will automatically create a connection
             per thread, so you don't normally need to use this explicitly in
             threaded code. This is generally useful if you want to perform a
             blocking operation (e.g. using :class:`background()`) while at the same
             time doing something else in the same host-side thread.

.. method:: Target.setup([executables])

   This will perform an initial one-time set up of a device for devlib
   interaction. This involves deployment of tools relied on the
   :class:`~devlib.target.Target`, creation of working locations on the device,
   etc.

   Usually, it is enough to call this method once per new device, as its effects
   will persist across reboots. However, it is safe to call this method multiple
   times. It may therefore be a good practice to always call it once at the
   beginning of a script to ensure that subsequent interactions will succeed.

   Optionally, this may also be used to deploy additional tools to the device
   by specifying a list of binaries to install in the ``executables`` parameter.

.. method:: Target.reboot([hard [, connect, [timeout]]])

   Reboot the target device.

   :param hard: A boolean value. If ``True`` a hard reset will be used instead
        of the usual soft reset. Hard reset must be supported (usually via a
        module) for this to work. Defaults to ``False``.
   :param connect: A boolean value. If ``True``, a connection will be
        automatically established to the target after reboot. Defaults to
        ``True``.
   :param timeout: If set, this will be used by various (platform-specific)
        operations during reboot process to detect if the reboot has failed and
        the device has hung.

.. method:: Target.push(source, dest [,as_root , timeout, globbing])

   Transfer a file from the host machine to the target device.

   If transfer polling is supported (ADB connections and SSH connections),
   ``poll_transfers`` is set in the connection, and a timeout is not specified,
   the push will be polled for activity. Inactive transfers will be
   cancelled. (See :ref:`connection-types` for more information on polling).

   :param source: path on the host
   :param dest: path on the target
   :param as_root: whether root is required. Defaults to false.
   :param timeout: timeout (in seconds) for the transfer; if the transfer does
       not complete within this period, an exception will be raised. Leave unset
       to utilise transfer polling if enabled.
   :param globbing: If ``True``, the ``source`` is interpreted as a globbing
        pattern instead of being take as-is. If the pattern has multiple
        matches, ``dest`` must be a folder (or will be created as such if it
        does not exists yet).

.. method:: Target.pull(source, dest [, as_root, timeout, globbing, via_temp])

   Transfer a file from the target device to the host machine.

   If transfer polling is supported (ADB connections and SSH connections),
   ``poll_transfers`` is set in the connection, and a timeout is not specified,
   the pull will be polled for activity. Inactive transfers will be
   cancelled. (See :ref:`connection-types` for more information on polling).

   :param source: path on the target
   :param dest: path on the host
   :param as_root: whether root is required. Defaults to false.
   :param timeout: timeout (in seconds) for the transfer; if the transfer does
       not  complete within this period, an exception will be raised.
   :param globbing: If ``True``, the ``source`` is interpreted as a globbing
        pattern instead of being take as-is. If the pattern has multiple
        matches, ``dest`` must be a folder (or will be created as such if it
        does not exists yet).
   :param via_temp: If ``True``, copy the file first to a temporary location on
        the target, and then pull it. This can avoid issues some filesystems,
        notably paramiko + OpenSSH combination having performance issues when
        pulling big files from sysfs.

.. method:: Target.execute(command [, timeout [, check_exit_code [, as_root [, strip_colors [, will_succeed [, force_locale]]]]]])

   Execute the specified command on the target device and return its output.

   :param command: The command to be executed.
   :param timeout: Timeout (in seconds) for the execution of the command. If
       specified, an exception will be raised if execution does not complete
       with the specified period.
   :param check_exit_code: If ``True`` (the default) the exit code (on target)
       from execution of the command will be checked, and an exception will be
       raised if it is not ``0``.
   :param as_root: The command will be executed as root. This will fail on
       unrooted targets.
   :param strip_colours: The command output will have colour encodings and
       most ANSI escape sequences striped out before returning.
   :param will_succeed: The command is assumed to always succeed, unless there is
       an issue in the environment like the loss of network connectivity. That
       will make the method always raise an instance of a subclass of
       :class:`DevlibTransientError` when the command fails, instead of a
       :class:`DevlibStableError`.
   :param force_locale: Prepend ``LC_ALL=<force_locale>`` in front of the
      command to get predictable output that can be more safely parsed.
      If ``None``, no locale is prepended.

.. method:: Target.background(command [, stdout [, stderr [, as_root, [, force_locale [, timeout]]])

   Execute the command on the target, invoking it via subprocess on the host.
   This will return :class:`subprocess.Popen` instance for the command.

   :param command: The command to be executed.
   :param stdout: By default, standard output will be piped from the subprocess;
      this may be used to redirect it to an alternative file handle.
   :param stderr: By default, standard error will be piped from the subprocess;
      this may be used to redirect it to an alternative file handle.
   :param as_root: The command will be executed as root. This will fail on
       unrooted targets.
   :param force_locale: Prepend ``LC_ALL=<force_locale>`` in front of the
      command to get predictable output that can be more safely parsed.
      If ``None``, no locale is prepended.
   :param timeout: Timeout (in seconds) for the execution of the command. When
      the timeout expires, :meth:`BackgroundCommand.cancel` is executed to
      terminate the command.

   .. note:: This **will block the connection** until the command completes.

.. method:: Target.invoke(binary [, args [, in_directory [, on_cpus [, as_root [, timeout]]]]])

   Execute the specified binary on target (must already be installed) under the
   specified conditions and return the output.

   :param binary: binary to execute. Must be present and executable on the device.
   :param args: arguments to be passed to the binary. The can be either a list or
          a string.
   :param in_directory:  execute the binary in the  specified directory. This must
                   be an absolute path.
   :param on_cpus:  taskset the binary to these CPUs. This may be a single
          ``int`` (in which case, it will be interpreted as the mask), a list of
          ``ints``, in which case this will be interpreted as the list of cpus,
          or string, which will be interpreted as a comma-separated list of cpu
          ranges, e.g. ``"0,4-7"``.
   :param as_root: Specify whether the command should be run as root
   :param timeout: If this is specified and invocation does not terminate within this number
           of seconds, an exception will be raised.

.. method:: Target.background_invoke(binary [, args [, in_directory [, on_cpus [, as_root ]]]])

   Execute the specified binary on target (must already be installed) as a
   background task, under the specified conditions and return the
   :class:`subprocess.Popen` instance for the command.

   :param binary: binary to execute. Must be present and executable on the device.
   :param args: arguments to be passed to the binary. The can be either a list or
          a string.
   :param in_directory:  execute the binary in the  specified directory. This must
                   be an absolute path.
   :param on_cpus:  taskset the binary to these CPUs. This may be a single
          ``int`` (in which case, it will be interpreted as the mask), a list of
          ``ints``, in which case this will be interpreted as the list of cpus,
          or string, which will be interpreted as a comma-separated list of cpu
          ranges, e.g. ``"0,4-7"``.
   :param as_root: Specify whether the command should be run as root

.. method:: Target.kick_off(command [, as_root])

   Kick off the specified command on the target and return immediately. Unlike
   ``background()`` this will not block the connection; on the other hand, there
   is not way to know when the command finishes (apart from calling ``ps()``)
   or to get its output (unless its redirected into a file that can be pulled
   later as part of the command).

   :param command: The command to be executed.
   :param as_root: The command will be executed as root. This will fail on
       unrooted targets.

.. method:: Target.read_value(path [,kind])

   Read the value from the specified path. This is primarily intended for
   sysfs/procfs/debugfs etc.

   :param path: file to read
   :param kind: Optionally, read value will be converted into the specified
        kind (which should be a callable that takes exactly one parameter).

.. method:: Target.read_int(self, path)

   Equivalent to ``Target.read_value(path, kind=devlib.utils.types.integer)``

.. method:: Target.read_bool(self, path)

   Equivalent to ``Target.read_value(path, kind=devlib.utils.types.boolean)``

.. method:: Target.write_value(path, value [, verify])

   Write the value to the specified path on the target. This is primarily
   intended for sysfs/procfs/debugfs etc.

   :param path: file to write into
   :param value: value to be written
   :param verify: If ``True`` (the default) the value will be read back after
       it is written to make sure it has been written successfully. This due to
       some sysfs entries silently failing to set the written value without
       returning an error code.

.. method:: Target.revertable_write_value(path, value [, verify])

   Same as :meth:`Target.write_value`, but as a context manager that will write
   back the previous value on exit.

.. method:: Target.batch_revertable_write_value(kwargs_list)

   Calls :meth:`Target.revertable_write_value` with all the keyword arguments
   dictionary given in the list. This is a convenience method to update
   multiple files at once, leaving them in their original state on exit. If one
   write fails, all the already-performed writes will be reverted as well.

.. method:: Target.read_tree_values(path, depth=1, dictcls=dict, [, tar [, decode_unicode [, strip_null_char ]]])

   Read values of all sysfs (or similar) file nodes under ``path``, traversing
   up to the maximum depth ``depth``.

   Returns a nested structure of dict-like objects (``dict``\ s by default) that
   follows the structure of the scanned sub-directory tree. The top-level entry
   has a single item who's key is ``path``. If ``path`` points to a single file,
   the value of the entry is the value ready from that file node. Otherwise, the
   value is a dict-line object  with a key for every entry under ``path``
   mapping onto its value or further dict-like objects as appropriate.

   Although the default behaviour should suit most users, it is possible to
   encounter issues when reading binary files, or files with colons in their
   name for example. In such cases, the ``tar`` parameter can be set to force a
   full archive of the tree using tar, hence providing a more robust behaviour.
   This can, however, slow down the read process significantly.

   :param path: sysfs path to scan
   :param depth: maximum depth to descend
   :param dictcls: a dict-like type to be used for each level of the hierarchy.
   :param tar: the files will be read using tar rather than grep
   :param decode_unicode: decode the content of tar-ed files as utf-8
   :param strip_null_char: remove null chars from utf-8 decoded files

.. method:: Target.read_tree_values_flat(path, depth=1)

   Read values of all sysfs (or similar) file nodes under ``path``, traversing
   up to the maximum depth ``depth``.

   Returns a dict mapping paths of file nodes to corresponding values.

   :param path: sysfs path to scan
   :param depth: maximum depth to descend

.. method:: Target.reset()

   Soft reset the target. Typically, this means executing ``reboot`` on the
   target.

.. method:: Target.check_responsive()

   Returns ``True`` if the target appears to be responsive and ``False``
   otherwise.

.. method:: Target.kill(pid[, signal[, as_root]])

   Kill a process on the target.

   :param pid: PID of the process to be killed.
   :param signal: Signal to be used to kill the process. Defaults to
       ``signal.SIGTERM``.
   :param as_root: If set to ``True``, kill will be issued as root. This will
       fail on unrooted targets.

.. method:: Target.killall(name[, signal[, as_root]])

   Kill all processes with the specified name on the target. Other parameters
   are the same as for ``kill()``.

.. method:: Target.get_pids_of(name)

   Return a list of PIDs of all running instances of the specified process.

.. method:: Target.ps()

   Return a list of :class:`PsEntry` instances for all running processes on the
   system.

.. method:: Target.makedirs(self, path)

   Create a directory at the given path and all its ancestors if needed.

.. method:: Target.file_exists(self, filepath)

   Returns ``True`` if the specified path exists on the target and ``False``
   otherwise.

.. method:: Target.list_file_systems()

   Lists file systems mounted on the target. Returns a list of
   :class:`FstabEntry`\ s.

.. method:: Target.list_directory(path[, as_root])

   List (optionally, as root) the contents of the specified directory. Returns a
   list of strings.


.. method:: Target.get_workpath(self, path)

   Convert the specified path to an absolute path relative to
   ``working_directory`` on the target. This is a shortcut for
   ``t.path.join(t.working_directory, path)``

.. method:: Target.tempfile([prefix [, suffix]])

   Get a path to a temporary file (optionally, with the specified prefix and/or
   suffix) on the target.

.. method:: Target.remove(path[, as_root])

   Delete the specified path on the target. Will work on files and directories.

.. method:: Target.core_cpus(core)

   Return a list of numeric cpu IDs corresponding to the specified core name.

.. method:: Target.list_online_cpus([core])

   Return a list of numeric cpu IDs for all online CPUs (optionally, only for
   CPUs corresponding to the specified core).

.. method:: Target.list_offline_cpus([core])

   Return a list of numeric cpu IDs for all offline CPUs (optionally, only for
   CPUs corresponding to the specified core).

.. method:: Target.getenv(variable)

   Return the value of the specified environment variable on the device

.. method:: Target.capture_screen(filepath)

   Take a screenshot on the device and save it to the specified file on the
   host. This may not be supported by the target. You can optionally insert a
   ``{ts}`` tag into the file name, in which case it will be substituted with
   on-target timestamp of the screen shot in ISO8601 format.

.. method:: Target.install(filepath[, timeout[, with_name]])

   Install an executable on the device.

   :param filepath: path to the executable on the host
   :param timeout: Optional timeout (in seconds) for the installation
   :param with_name: This may be used to rename the executable on the target


.. method:: Target.install_if_needed(host_path, search_system_binaries=True)

   Check to see if the binary is already installed on the device and if not,
   install it.

   :param host_path: path to the executable on the host
   :param search_system_binaries: Specify whether to search the devices PATH
       when checking to see if the executable is installed, otherwise only check
       user installed binaries.

.. method:: Target.uninstall(name)

   Uninstall the specified executable from the target

.. method:: Target.get_installed(name)

   Return the full installation path on the target for the specified executable,
   or ``None`` if the executable is not installed.

.. method:: Target.which(name)

   Alias for ``get_installed()``

.. method:: Target.is_installed(name)

   Returns ``True`` if an executable with the specified name is installed on the
   target and ``False`` other wise.

.. method:: Target.extract(path, dest=None)

   Extracts the specified archive/file and returns the path to the extracted
   contents. The extraction method is determined based on the file extension.
   ``zip``, ``tar``, ``gzip``, and ``bzip2`` are supported.

   :param dest: Specified an on-target destination directory (which must exist)
                for the extracted contents.

    Returns the path to the extracted contents. In case of files (gzip and
    bzip2), the path to the decompressed file is returned; for archives, the
    path to the directory with the archive's contents is returned.

.. method:: Target.is_network_connected()

   Checks for internet connectivity on the device. This doesn't actually
   guarantee that the internet connection is "working" (which is rather
   nebulous), it's intended just for failing early when definitively _not_
   connected to the internet.

   :returns: ``True`` if internet seems available, ``False`` otherwise.

.. method:: Target.install_module(mod, **params)

  :param mod: The module name or object to be installed to the target.
  :param params: Keyword arguments used to instantiate the module.

    Installs an additional module to the target after the initial setup has been
    performed.

   support the majority of newer devices.


ChromeOS Target
---------------

.. class:: ChromeOsTarget(connection_settings=None, platform=None, working_directory=None, executables_directory=None, android_working_directory=None, android_executables_directory=None, connect=True, modules=None, load_default_modules=True, shell_prompt=DEFAULT_SHELL_PROMPT, package_data_directory="/data/data")

    :class:`ChromeOsTarget` is a subclass of :class:`LinuxTarget` with
    additional features specific to a device running ChromeOS for example,
    if supported, its own android container which can be accessed via the
    ``android_container`` attribute. When making calls to or accessing
    properties and attributes of the ChromeOS target, by default they will
    be applied to Linux target as this is where the majority of device
    configuration will be performed and if not available, will fall back to
    using the android container if available. This means that all the
    available methods from
    :class:`LinuxTarget` and :class:`AndroidTarget` are available for
    :class:`ChromeOsTarget` if the device supports android otherwise only the
    :class:`LinuxTarget` methods will be available.

    :param working_directory: This is the location of the working directory to
        be used for the Linux target container. If not specified will default to
        ``"/mnt/stateful_partition/devlib-target"``.

    :param android_working_directory: This is the location of the working
        directory to be used for the android container. If not specified it will
        use the working directory default for :class:`AndroidTarget.`.

    :param android_executables_directory: This is the location of the
        executables directory to be used for the android container. If not
        specified will default to a ``bin`` subdirectory in the
        ``android_working_directory.``

    :param package_data_directory: This is the location of the data stored
        for installed Android packages on the device.
