ssh_config

This is a Go parser for ssh_config files. Importantly, this parser attempts to preserve comments, so you can manipulate a ssh_config file from a program, if your heart wishes.

Example usage:

f, _ := os.Open(filepath.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".ssh", "config"))
cfg, _ := ssh_config.LoadReader(f)
for _, host := range cfg.Hosts {
    fmt.Println("patterns:", host.Patterns)
    for _, node := range host.Nodes {
        fmt.Println(node.String())
    }
}

// Write the cfg back to disk:
fmt.Println(cfg.String())

This is very alpha software. In particular the most useful thing you want to do with this is figure out the correct HostName and User for a particular host pattern. There's no way to do this, currently.
