1.59.2 Description

aaf678
aaf678

The shell functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script helps

aaf678
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
aaf678
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
aaf678
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
aaf678
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
aaf678
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
aaf678
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
aaf678
of them would be a task rather tedious. The shell functionality
aaf678
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
aaf678
mentioned.

aaf678

When you use shell functionality to update copyright inside

aaf678
script files, it is required that your script files contain (at least)
aaf678
the following top commentary structure:
010b2d

aaf678
aaf678
 1| #!/bin/bash
aaf678
 2| #
aaf678
 3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here.
aaf678
 4| # 
aaf678
 5| # Copyright
aaf678
 6| #
aaf678
 7| # ...
aaf678
 8| #
aaf678
 9| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
aaf678
10| # $Id$
aaf678
11| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
aaf678
12|
aaf678
13| function doSomething {
aaf678
14|     
aaf678
15| }
010b2d
aaf678

Figure 1.4: The functions script base comment structure

aaf678
010b2d

aaf678

Relevant lines in the above structure are lines from 5 to 9.

aaf678
Everything else in the file is left immutable.
010b2d

aaf678

When you are updating copyright through shell

aaf678
functionality,  the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script replaces everything
aaf678
in-between line 5 --the first one matching <samp>`^# Copyright .+$'</samp>
aaf678
string-- and line 9--the first long dash separator matching <samp>`^#
aaf678
-+$'</samp>-- with the content of copyright template instance.
010b2d

aaf678
Caution

Caution

Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches

aaf678
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression before the function
aaf678
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
aaf678
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
aaf678
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
aaf678
may lost your function definitions entirely.
aaf678

ee1f37
aaf678

The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template

aaf678
stored in the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file.  The template
aaf678
instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At
aaf678
this moment, when template instance is created, the
aaf678
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script takes advantage of automation in order to
aaf678
set copyright full name and date dynamically.
010b2d

aaf678

When you use shell functionality to update copyright, the first

aaf678
thing <tt>`shell'</tt> functionality does is requesting copyright
aaf678
information to user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no
aaf678
value was typed before pressing RET key), the <tt>`shell'</tt>
aaf678
functionality uses its own default values.
010b2d

aaf678

When shell functionality uses its own default values, the final

aaf678
copyright note looks like the following:
010b2d

aaf678
aaf678
 1| #!/bin/bash
aaf678

aaf678

Figure 1.5: The function script comment example

aaf678

aaf678

Relevant lines in the above structure are lines from 5 to 22. Pay

aaf678
attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was
aaf678
added into the top comment where previously was just three dots.
aaf678
Everything else in the file was left immutable. 
010b2d

aaf678

To change copyright information (i.e., full name or year information),

aaf678
run the shell functionality over the root directory containing
aaf678
the script files you want to update copyright in and enter the
aaf678
appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the
aaf678
shell functionality as many times as you need to.
010b2d

aaf678

To change copyright license (i.e., the text in-between lines 7 and

aaf678
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
aaf678
the appropriate information, and run the shell functionality
aaf678
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

1.59.3 Usage

aaf678
ee1f37
aaf678
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'
aaf678
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'
aaf678

Use these commands to update copyright information in <samp>`.sh'</samp> files

aaf678
under <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> directory. 
aaf678

982d5c
982d5c
aaf678

When you provide <samp>`--filter='regex''</samp> argument, the list of files

aaf678
to process is reduced as specified in <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression.
aaf678
Inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular
aaf678
expression is used in combination with find command to look
aaf678
for files matching the regular expression path pattern.
aaf678

aaf678
Warning

Warning

In order for <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression to match

aaf678
a file, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expresion must match the whole file
aaf678
path not just the file name. 
aaf678

aaf678
aaf678

For example, if you want to match all <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt> files

aaf678
inside <tt>`path/to/dir'</tt>, use the .+/render.conf regular
aaf678
expression.  Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses this value inside
aaf678
^$REGEX\.sh$ expression in order to build the final regular
aaf678
expression (i.e., ^.+/render.conf\.sh$) that is evaluated
aaf678
against available file paths inside the list of files to process.
aaf678

aaf678

Exceptionally, when you provide <samp>`--filter='regex''</samp> in the way

aaf678
that <samp>`regex'</samp>, appended to <samp>`path/to/dir/'</samp> (i.e.
aaf678
<samp>`path/to/dir/regex'</samp>), matches a regular file; the
aaf678
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the file matching as only file in the
aaf678
list of files to process.
