How can I generically get all LB objects & attributes via iControl?

I want to use iControl to dump, in a generic way, all pools, virtuals, profiles, iRules, etc. and all of their attributes. I'd like to be able to read (and actually write) this information in the generic tcl-ish config format output by "bigpipe list". See an example below. Put another way, I'd like to implement the "bigpipe list" command myself, in Java via iControl. How can I do that? I've looked through most all the API and just don't see how to read & write objects in this generic way, without explicitly coding for every kind of attribute that might appear.

 

 

 

 

pool test-pool-III {

 

monitor all http

 

members 10.30.50.8:http {}

 

}

 

virtual ATL_ML_CNS_PR_HTTPS {

 

snat automap

 

pool ATL_ML_CNS_PR

 

destination 66.54.66.195:https

 

ip protocol tcp
