[LU-16723] Refactoring the parser

• Status: Resolved
• Project: Lustre
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.16.0
• Type: Improvement
• Priority: Minor
• Reporter: Tim Day
• Assignee: Tim Day
• Resolution: Fixed

Description

The parser code has a lot of unused complexity that can be streamlined. Refactor the parser makes the interface simpler from a development perspective and can provide a consistent user experience for all of the lustre utilities.

My main motivations:

• Cut down cut duplication between all of the lustre utils
• Make it easier to implement a git like help feature afterwards
• Make it easier to implement testing over all possible commands (i.e. make sure every command has a help text or man page)
