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]:                   OSStart
  default_state[operating_system]:                BootComplete
  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.

    Description of argument(s):
    state           A state dictionary such as the one returned by the

    match_state     A dictionary whose key/value pairs are "state field"/

                    regular expression.  Every value in this dictionary is
                    considered.  When match_type is 'and', if each and every
                    comparison matches, the two dictionaries are considered to
                    be matching.  If match_type is 'or', if any two of the

                    such a case this function will call return_state_constant
                    to convert it to a proper dictionary as described above.

                    Finally, one special value is accepted for the key field:
                    expression_key().  If such an entry exists, its value is
                    taken to be a list of expressions to be evaluated.  These

                    simply coding them in standard python syntax (e.g.
                    state['key1']).  What follows is an example expression:

                    qualify as a match.
