47    debug                           If debug is set, this function will print extra debug info.
48    print_output                    If this is set, this function will print the stdout/stderr generated by
49                                    the shell command.
50    show_err                        If show_err is set, this function will print a standardized error report
51                                    if the shell command returns non-zero.
52    return_stderr                   If return_stderr is set, this function will process the stdout and stderr
53                                    streams from the shell command separately.  It will also return stderr in

153    Parse a bash command-line command string and return the result as a dictionary of parms.
154
155    This can be useful for answering questions like "What did the user specify as the value for parm x in the
156    command string?".
157
158    This function expects the command string to follow the following posix conventions:
159    - Short parameters:
160      -<parm name><space><arg value>
161    - Long parameters:
162      --<parm name>=<arg value>
163
164    The first item in the string will be considered to be the command.  All values not conforming to the
165    specifications above will be considered positional parms.  If there are multiple parms with the same
166    name, they will be put into a list (see illustration below where "-v" is specified multiple times).

281    quiet                           If set to 0, this function will print "Issuing: <cmd string>" to stdout.
282                                    When the quiet argument is set to None, this function will assign a
283                                    default value by searching upward in the stack for the quiet variable
284                                    value.  If no such value is found, quiet is set to 0.

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

558    Create and return a bash command string consisting of the given arguments formatted as text.
559
560    The default formatting of options is as follows:
561
562    <single dash><option name><space delim><option value>
563
564    Example:
565
566    -parm value
567
568    The caller can change the kind of dashes/delimiters used by specifying "arg_dashes" and/or "arg_delims"
569    as options.  These options are processed specially by the create_command_string function and do NOT get
570    inserted into the resulting command string.  All options following the arg_dashes/arg_delims options will
571    then use the specified values for dashes/delims.  In the special case of arg_dashes equal to "--", the
572    arg_delim will automatically be changed to "=".  See examples below.
573
574    Quoting rules:
575
576    The create_command_string function will single quote option values as needed to prevent bash expansion.
577    If the caller wishes to defeat this action, they may single or double quote the option value themselves.
578    See examples below.
579
580    pos_parms are NOT automatically quoted.  The caller is advised to either explicitly add quotes or to use
581    the quote_bash_parm functions to quote any pos_parms.
582
583    Examples:
584
585    command_string = create_command_string('cd', '~')
586
587    Result:
588    cd ~
589
590    Note that the pos_parm ("~") does NOT get quoted, as per the aforementioned rules.  If quotes are
591    desired, they may be added explicitly by the caller:
592
593    command_string = create_command_string('cd', '\'~\'')
594
595    Result:
596    cd '~'
597
598    command_string = create_command_string('grep', '\'^[^ ]*=\'',
599        '/tmp/myfile', i=None, m='1', arg_dashes='--', color='always')
600
601    Result:
602    grep -i -m 1 --color=always '^[^ ]*=' /tmp/myfile
603
604    In the preceding example, note the use of None to cause the "i" parm to be treated as a flag (i.e. no
605    argument value is generated).  Also, note the use of arg_dashes to change the type of dashes used on all
606    subsequent options.  The following example is equivalent to the prior.  Note that quote_bash_parm is used
607    instead of including the quotes explicitly.
608
609    command_string = create_command_string('grep', quote_bash_parm('^[^ ]*='),
610        '/tmp/myfile', i=None,  m='1', arg_dashes='--', color='always')
611
612    Result:
613    grep -i -m 1 --color=always '^[^ ]*=' /tmp/myfile
614
615    In the following example, note the automatic quoting of the password option, as per the aforementioned
616    rules.
617
618    command_string = create_command_string('my_pgm', '/tmp/myfile', i=None,
619        m='1', arg_dashes='--', password='${my_pw}')
620
621    However, let's say that the caller wishes to have bash expand the password value.  To achieve this, the
622    caller can use double quotes:
623
624    command_string = create_command_string('my_pgm', '/tmp/myfile', i=None,
625        m='1', arg_dashes='--', password='"${my_pw}"')
626
627    Result:
628    my_pgm -i -m 1 --password="${my_pw}" /tmp/myfile
629
630    command_string = create_command_string('ipmitool', 'power status',
631        I='lanplus', C='3', U='root', P='0penBmc', H='wsbmc010')
632
633    Result:
634    ipmitool -I lanplus -C 3 -U root -P 0penBmc -H wsbmc010 power status
635
636    By default create_command_string will take measures to preserve the order of the callers options.  In
637    some cases, this effort may fail (as when calling directly from a robot program).  In this case, the
638    caller can accept the responsibility of keeping an ordered list of options by calling this function with
639    the last positional parm as some kind of dictionary (preferably an OrderedDict) and avoiding the use of
640    any actual option args.
641
642    Example:
643    kwargs = collections.OrderedDict([('pass', 0), ('fail', 0)])
644    command_string = create_command_string('my program', 'pos_parm1', kwargs)
645
646    Result:
647
648    my program -pass 0 -fail 0 pos_parm1
649
650    Note to programmers who wish to write a wrapper to this function:  If the python version is less than
651    3.6, to get the options to be processed correctly, the wrapper function must include a _stack_frame_ix_
652    keyword argument to allow this function to properly re-order options:
653
654    def create_ipmi_ext_command_string(command, **kwargs):
655
656        return create_command_string('ipmitool', command, _stack_frame_ix_=2,
657            **kwargs)
658
659    Example call of wrapper function:
660
661    command_string = create_ipmi_ext_command_string('power status', I='lanplus')
662
663    Description of argument(s):

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