Hostlist

This package provides hostlist expansion for host specifications like n[1-2],m[1,2] or n[1-2]-p,n[1,2]-q. The content of the [] can be a mixture of comma-separated entries and X-Y ranges. Only a single specification of [] per entry is allowed.

While expanding to the hostlist duplicated hosts are removed, so n[1-2],n[1,2] (twice the same specification) results in [n1, n2]. Zeros in the range specifications are preserved: n[01-04,06-07,09] -> [n01, n02, n03, n04, n06, n07, n09]

Invalid specifications:

• More than one - in a range: [1-2-2]
• Only increasing ranges, no [2-1]
• Other symbols than - and , in [] are not allowed, e.g. @
