[Xorp-hackers] Question about Template file functionality

Hi xorp-hackers list

In the template file (etc/templates/*tp) I have a short question:

in the part below (from bgp.tp):

targetname {
  %help: short "Set the target name";
  %set:;
}

bgp-id {
  %set: xrl "$(bgp.targetname)/bgp/0.2/set_bgp_id?id:ipv4=$(@)";
  %get: xrl "$(bgp.targetname)/bgp/0.2/get_bgp_id->id:ipv4";
}

In the targetname: node
Does the set:; line map to a function that sets the value of the
targetname leaf-node (but do not invoke any xrl calls)?

Does the missing %delete:; and %get:; mean that it is not possible to
delete and get this value from the node e.g. from the xorpsh?

I guess that other lines in the template file will be able to read the
targetname value, is this correct?

In the bgp-id node lines:
does the returned value from the %get: line opdate the bgp-id node value ?
Is the %get xrl being executed when other template rules want to read
the bgp-id node-value.


Thanks
