36 --- LuCI UCI model library.
37 -- The typical workflow for UCI is: Get a cursor instance from the
38 -- cursor factory, modify data (via Cursor.add, Cursor.delete, etc.),
39 -- save the changes to the staging area via Cursor.save and finally
40 -- Cursor.commit the data to the actual config files.
41 -- LuCI then needs to Cursor.apply the changes so deamons etc. are
42 -- reloaded.
