KernelArgumentsEqual compares kernel arguments 'args1' and 'args2' excluding parameters 'exclude'.

MapOfStringsContains returns true if map of strings a contains all entries of the map of strings b.

MapOfStringsCopy returns a copy of a map of strings 'a'.

MapOfStringsEqual returns true if maps of strings 'a' and 'b' are equal.

ParseManifests parses a YAML or JSON document that may contain one or more kubernetes resources.

PtrBoolEqual returns true if the booleans pointed to by 'a' and 'b' are equal or both 'a' and 'b' are nil.

SetLogLevel was lifted with minor modifications from library-go.

SplitKernelArguments splits kernel parameters into a slice of strings one parameter per string.

SplitKernelArgumentsWithout splits kernel parameters excluding any parameters in the 'exclude' slice into a slice of strings one parameter per string.

StringSlicesAsSetsEqual returns true if slices of strings 'a' and 'b' with their items sorted equally with duplicate items removed are the same.

StringSlicesEqual returns true if slices of strings 'a' and 'b' are the same.

Create a symbolic link.

DeferAlways means the changes carried will be deferred until the next node restart: both for the first application and for profile changes.

DeferNever means deferred mode is disabled; treat as immediate update, like the annotation is not present.

DeferUpdate means in-place updates/changes to only the contents of the currently used profile.

DeferMode controls the deferred feature.
