Development

This is a work in progress to document NeDi's inner workings. It will hopefully soon provide enough information to easily integrate contributions and the likes…

NeDi persists of a series of perl scripts (some main programs and shared libraries) on the discovery part and a similar constellation of PHP scripts on the GUI side. In addition it reads or writes a series of text files:

Each function now contains a header describing the expected arguments, which globabl variables are being modified and what it returns.

If you wish to create you own module, have a look at Topology-Table.php to get the idea of how mine are built. Devices-Modules.php is the simplest one to reveal list based functions like SQL query generation and handling or how the actual table and column headers are created.
