Description: TextFSM
        =======
        
        Python module which implements a template based state machine for parsing
        semi-formatted text. Originally developed to allow programmatic access to
        information returned from the command line interface (CLI) of networking
        devices.
        
        The engine takes two inputs - a template file, and text input (such as command
        responses from the CLI of a device) and returns a list of records that contains
        the data parsed from the text.
        
        A template file is needed for each uniquely structured text input. Some examples
        are provided with the code and users are encouraged to develop their own.
        
        By developing a pool of template files, scripts can call TextFSM to parse useful
        information from a variety of sources. It is also possible to use different
        templates on the same data in order to create different tables (or views).
        
        TextFSM was developed internally at Google and released under the Apache 2.0
        licence for the benefit of the wider community.
