def parse_command_string(command_string):
    r"""
    Parse a bash command-line command string and return the result as a dictionary of parms.

    This can be useful for answering questions like "What did the user specify as the value for parm x in the
    command string?".

    This function expects the command string to follow the following posix conventions:
    - Short parameters:
      -<parm name><space><arg value>
    - Long parameters:
      --<parm name>=<arg value>

    The first item in the string will be considered to be the command.  All values not conforming to the
    specifications above will be considered positional parms.  If there are multiple parms with the same
    name, they will be put into a list (see illustration below where "-v" is specified multiple times).

    Description of argument(s):
    command_string                  The complete command string including all parameters and arguments.

    Run the given command string in a shell and return a tuple consisting of the shell return code and the
    output.

    Description of argument(s):
    command_string                  The command string to be run in a shell (e.g. "ls /tmp").
    quiet                           If set to 0, this function will print "Issuing: <cmd string>" to stdout.
                                    When the quiet argument is set to None, this function will assign a
                                    default value by searching upward in the stack for the quiet variable
                                    value.  If no such value is found, quiet is set to 0.
    print_output                    If this is set, this function will print the stdout/stderr generated by
                                    the shell command to stdout.
    show_err                        If show_err is set, this function will print a standardized error report
                                    if the shell command fails (i.e. if the shell command returns a shell_rc
                                    that is not in valid_rcs).  Note: Error text is only printed if ALL
                                    attempts to run the command_string fail.  In other words, if the command
                                    execution is ultimately successful, initial failures are hidden.
    test_mode                       If test_mode is set, this function will not actually run the command.  If
                                    print_output is also set, this function will print "(test_mode) Issuing:
                                    <cmd string>" to stdout.  A caller should call shell_cmd directly if they
                                    wish to have the command string run unconditionally.  They should call
                                    the t_shell_cmd wrapper (defined below) if they wish to run the command
                                    string only if the prevailing test_mode variable is set to 0.
    time_out                        A time-out value expressed in seconds.  If the command string has not
                                    finished executing within <time_out> seconds, it will be halted and
                                    counted as an error.
    max_attempts                    The max number of attempts that should be made to run the command string.
    retry_sleep_time                The number of seconds to sleep between attempts.
    valid_rcs                       A list of integers indicating which shell_rc values are not to be
                                    considered errors.
    ignore_err                      Ignore error means that a failure encountered by running the command
                                    string will not be raised as a python exception.  When the ignore_err
                                    argument is set to None, this function will assign a default value by
                                    searching upward in the stack for the ignore_err variable value.  If no
                                    such value is found, ignore_err is set to 1.
    return_stderr                   If return_stderr is set, this function will process the stdout and stderr
                                    streams from the shell command separately.  In such a case, the tuple
                                    returned by this function will consist of three values rather than just
                                    two: rc, stdout, stderr.
    fork                            Run the command string asynchronously (i.e. don't wait for status of the
                                    child process and don't try to get stdout/stderr) and return the Popen
                                    object created by the subprocess.popen() function.  See the kill_cmd
                                    function for details on how to process the popen object.
    error_regexes                   A list of regular expressions to be used to identify errors in the
                                    command output.  If there is a match for any of these regular
                                    expressions, the command will be considered a failure and the shell_rc
                                    will be set to -1.  For example, if error_regexes = ['ERROR:'] and the
                                    command output contains 'ERROR:  Unrecognized option', it will be counted
                                    as an error even if the command returned 0.  This is useful when running
                                    commands that do not always return non-zero on error.

    """

    return " "


def create_command_string(command, *pos_parms, **options):
    r"""
    Create and return a bash command string consisting of the given arguments formatted as text.

    The default formatting of options is as follows:

    <single dash><option name><space delim><option value>

    Example:

    -parm value

    The caller can change the kind of dashes/delimiters used by specifying "arg_dashes" and/or "arg_delims"
    as options.  These options are processed specially by the create_command_string function and do NOT get
    inserted into the resulting command string.  All options following the arg_dashes/arg_delims options will
    then use the specified values for dashes/delims.  In the special case of arg_dashes equal to "--", the
    arg_delim will automatically be changed to "=".  See examples below.

    Quoting rules:

    The create_command_string function will single quote option values as needed to prevent bash expansion.
    If the caller wishes to defeat this action, they may single or double quote the option value themselves.
    See examples below.

    pos_parms are NOT automatically quoted.  The caller is advised to either explicitly add quotes or to use
    the quote_bash_parm functions to quote any pos_parms.

    Examples:

    command_string = create_command_string('cd', '~')

    Result:
    cd ~

    Note that the pos_parm ("~") does NOT get quoted, as per the aforementioned rules.  If quotes are
    desired, they may be added explicitly by the caller:

    command_string = create_command_string('cd', '\'~\'')

    Result:
    cd '~'

    command_string = create_command_string('grep', '\'^[^ ]*=\'',
        '/tmp/myfile', i=None, m='1', arg_dashes='--', color='always')

    Result:
    grep -i -m 1 --color=always '^[^ ]*=' /tmp/myfile

    In the preceding example, note the use of None to cause the "i" parm to be treated as a flag (i.e. no
    argument value is generated).  Also, note the use of arg_dashes to change the type of dashes used on all
    subsequent options.  The following example is equivalent to the prior.  Note that quote_bash_parm is used
    instead of including the quotes explicitly.

    command_string = create_command_string('grep', quote_bash_parm('^[^ ]*='),
        '/tmp/myfile', i=None,  m='1', arg_dashes='--', color='always')

    Result:
    grep -i -m 1 --color=always '^[^ ]*=' /tmp/myfile

    In the following example, note the automatic quoting of the password option, as per the aforementioned
    rules.

    command_string = create_command_string('my_pgm', '/tmp/myfile', i=None,
        m='1', arg_dashes='--', password='${my_pw}')

    However, let's say that the caller wishes to have bash expand the password value.  To achieve this, the
    caller can use double quotes:

    command_string = create_command_string('my_pgm', '/tmp/myfile', i=None,
        m='1', arg_dashes='--', password='"${my_pw}"')

    Result:
    my_pgm -i -m 1 --password="${my_pw}" /tmp/myfile

    command_string = create_command_string('ipmitool', 'power status',
        I='lanplus', C='3', 'p=623', U='root', P='0penBmc', H='xx.xx.xx.xx')

    Result:
    ipmitool -I lanplus -C 3 -p 623 -U root -P 0penBmc -H xx.xx.xx.xx power status

    By default create_command_string will take measures to preserve the order of the callers options.  In
    some cases, this effort may fail (as when calling directly from a robot program).  In this case, the
    caller can accept the responsibility of keeping an ordered list of options by calling this function with
    the last positional parm as some kind of dictionary (preferably an OrderedDict) and avoiding the use of
    any actual option args.

    Example:
    kwargs = collections.OrderedDict([('pass', 0), ('fail', 0)])
    command_string = create_command_string('my program', 'pos_parm1', kwargs)

    Result:

    my program -pass 0 -fail 0 pos_parm1

    Note to programmers who wish to write a wrapper to this function:  If the python version is less than
    3.6, to get the options to be processed correctly, the wrapper function must include a _stack_frame_ix_
    keyword argument to allow this function to properly re-order options:

    def create_ipmi_ext_command_string(command, **kwargs):

        return create_command_string('ipmitool', command, _stack_frame_ix_=2,
            **kwargs)

    Example call of wrapper function:

    command_string = create_ipmi_ext_command_string('power status', I='lanplus')

    Description of argument(s):
    command                         The command (e.g. "cat", "sort", "ipmitool", etc.).
    pos_parms                       The positional parms for the command (e.g. PATTERN, FILENAME, etc.).
                                    These will be placed at the end of the resulting command string.
    options                         The command options (e.g. "-m 1", "--max-count=NUM", etc.).  Note that if
                                    the value of any option is None, then it will be understood to be a flag
                                    (for which no value is required).
