2. The run-time module interface in AutoYaST

The new interface (AKA _auto.ycp client) is similar to the proposal structure and consists of functions that can be accessed using arguments. All the dialog code has been moved to autoyast to simplify the interface and to provide a common user interface for all modules appearing in the autoyast configuration system.

The interface of a run-time configuration module in AutoYaST has the follwoing components:

Summary Area,: Contains a summary of the consifguration with the values if available. If values where not configured, the phrase 'Not configured yet' is used, which is available from the summary module.
Configuration Button: A button which calls the module in auto mode (<module name>_auto.ycp).
Reset Button: A button for resetting the configuration data. This will delete only data in the running module.

The summary area is filled with data from the Summary function in the module controling the configuration. (i.e NIS::Summary() in the NIS package).
