# MFD Package Manager

Module for managing packages, drivers, and modules across Linux, Windows, ESXi, and FreeBSD systems.

## Usage

`PackageManager` contains internal factory which will automatically create object bases OSName of connection.

```python
from mfd_package_manager import PackageManager
(...)

package_manager = PackageManager(connection=<mfd_connection_object>, controller_connection=<mfd_connection_object>)
# optional controller_connection if required
package_manager.is_module_loaded("i40e")

connection = <mfd_connection_object>
package_manager.make(targets="clean", cwd="/home/user/builds/Test_Build/96_31275/PROXGB/FREEBSD/ixv-1.5.33/src")
package_manager.make_clean(cwd=connection.path("/home/user/builds/Test_Build/96_31275/PROXGB/FREEBSD/ixv-1.5.33/src"))
```
