[rancid] Questions about sub ProcessHistory

[Gauthier, Chris]

I’m trying to get my Aruba Instant access points to be backed up by rancid and I’m using the module developed by miken32, but it really doesn’t support a lot of the Aruba stuff that I have.  I’m trying to add a few extra functions into the perl module, but have run into some difficulty with `sub ProcessHistory` in rancid.pm.  I’ve read the description, but am not understanding the third argument.

For example:
ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","D99","!$_");   (from the aruba.pm file)

Or

ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","F1", "!Image: $_")  (from the ios.pm file)

What is the function of the “D99” and “F1” arguments and how do I leverage them for my own function?  And, what is the string in the last argument used for?

Thanks,
Chris
