r"""
This module contains functions having to do with machine state: get_state,
check_state, wait_state, etc.

The 'State' is a composite of many pieces of data.  Therefore, the functions
in this module define state as an ordered dictionary.  Here is an example of
some test output showing machine state:

default_state:
  default_state[chassis]:                         On
  default_state[boot_progress]:                   FW Progress, Starting OS
  default_state[host]:                            Running
  default_state[os_ping]:                         1
  default_state[os_login]:                        1
  default_state[os_run_cmd]:                      1

Different users may very well have different needs when inquiring about
state.  Support for new pieces of state information may be added to this
module as needed.

By using the wait_state function, a caller can start a boot and then wait for
a precisely defined state to indicate that the boot has succeeded.  If
the boot fails, they can see exactly why by looking at the current state as
compared with the expected state.

    start_boot_seconds  The time that the boot test started.  The format is the
                        epoch time in seconds, i.e. the number of seconds since
                        1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.  This value should be obtained
                        from the BMC so that it is not dependent on any kind of
                        synchronization between this machine and the target BMC
                        This will allow this program to work correctly even in
                        a simulated environment.  This value should be obtained
                        by the caller prior to initiating a reboot.  It can be
                        obtained as follows:
                        state = st.get_state(req_states=['epoch_seconds'])

    if error_message != "":
        BuiltIn().fail(gp.sprint_error(error_message))

    match_state = anchor_state(DotDict([('packet_loss', '100')]))
    # Wait for 100% packet loss trying to ping machine.

    # that the uptime is less than the elapsed boot time.  Further proof that
    # a reboot has indeed occurred (vs random network instability giving a
    # false positive.
    state = get_state(req_states=['uptime', 'epoch_seconds'])
