The program's output printed to stdout is available for the RESULT key. .RE .PP \fBRESULT\fR -.RS 3n +.RS 4 Match the returned string of the last PROGRAM call. This key can be used in the same or in any later rule after a PROGRAM call. .RE .PP Most of the fields support a shell style pattern matching.

For example, the pattern string 'tty[SR]' would match either 'ttyS' or 'ttyR'. Ranges are also supported within this match with the '\-' character. For example, to match on the range of all digits, the pattern [0\-9] would be used. If the first character following the '[' is a '!', any characters not enclosed are matched. .RE .PP The following keys can get values assigned: .PP \fBNAME\fR -.RS 3n +.RS 4 The name of the node to be created, or the name the network interface should be renamed to.
