1.60.2 Description

aaf678
b130a0

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

b130a0
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
b130a0
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
b130a0
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
b130a0
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
b130a0
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
b130a0
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
b130a0
of them would be a task rather tedious. The shell functionality
b130a0
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
b130a0
mentioned.
aaf678

b130a0

When you use shell functionality to update copyright inside

b130a0
script files, it is required that your script files contain (at least)
b130a0
the following top commentary structure:
010b2d

b130a0
b130a0
 1| #!/bin/bash
b130a0
 2| #
b130a0
 3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here.
b130a0
 4| # 
b130a0
 5| # Copyright
b130a0
 6| #
b130a0
 7| # ...
b130a0
 8| #
b130a0
 9| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
b130a0
10| # $Id$
b130a0
11| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
b130a0
12|
b130a0
13| function doSomething {
b130a0
14|     
b130a0
15| }
b130a0
b130a0

Figure 1.4: The functions script base comment structure

b130a0
010b2d

b130a0

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

b130a0
Everything else in the file is left immutable.
aaf678

b130a0

When you are updating copyright through shell

b130a0
functionality,  the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script replaces everything
b130a0
in-between line 5 --the first one matching <samp>`^# Copyright .+$'</samp>
b130a0
string-- and line 9--the first long dash separator matching <samp>`^#
b130a0
-+$'</samp>-- with the content of copyright template instance.
aaf678

b130a0
Caution

Caution

Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches

b130a0
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression before the function
b130a0
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
b130a0
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
b130a0
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
b130a0
may lost your function definitions entirely.
b130a0

b130a0
b130a0

The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template

b130a0
stored in the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file.  The template
b130a0
instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At
b130a0
this moment, when template instance is created, the
b130a0
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script takes advantage of automation in order to
b130a0
set copyright full name and date dynamically.
010b2d

b130a0

When you use shell functionality to update copyright, the first

b130a0
thing <tt>`shell'</tt> functionality does is requesting copyright
b130a0
information to user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no
b130a0
value was typed before pressing RET key), the <tt>`shell'</tt>
b130a0
functionality uses its own default values.
010b2d

b130a0

When shell functionality uses its own default values, the final

b130a0
copyright note looks like the following:
010b2d

b130a0
b130a0
 1| #!/bin/bash
b130a0
 2| #
b130a0
 3| # doSomthing.sh -- The function description goes here.

Figure 1.5: The function script comment example

b130a0
010b2d

b130a0

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

b130a0
attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was
b130a0
added into the top comment where previously was just three dots.
b130a0
Everything else in the file was left immutable. 
010b2d

b130a0

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

b130a0
run the shell functionality over the root directory containing
b130a0
the script files you want to update copyright in and enter the
b130a0
appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the
b130a0
shell functionality as many times as you need to.
010b2d

b130a0

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

b130a0
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
b130a0
the appropriate information, and run the shell functionality
b130a0
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

1.60.3 Usage

ee1f37
010b2d
b130a0
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'
b130a0
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'
b130a0

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

b130a0
under <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> directory. 
010b2d

010b2d
010b2d
010b2d

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

010b2d
to process is reduced as specified in <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression.
010b2d
Inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular
010b2d
expression is used in combination with find command to look
010b2d
for files matching the regular expression path pattern.
010b2d

010b2d
Warning

Warning

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

010b2d
a file, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expresion must match the whole file
010b2d
path not just the file name. 
010b2d

010b2d
b130a0

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

b130a0
inside <tt>`path/to/dir'</tt>, use the .+/render.conf regular
b130a0
expression.  Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses this value inside
b130a0
^$REGEX\.sh$ expression in order to build the final regular
b130a0
expression (i.e., ^.+/render.conf\.sh$) that is evaluated
b130a0
against available file paths inside the list of files to process.
010b2d

010b2d

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

010b2d
that <samp>`regex'</samp>, appended to <samp>`path/to/dir/'</samp> (i.e.
010b2d
<samp>`path/to/dir/regex'</samp>), matches a regular file; the
010b2d
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the file matching as only file in the
010b2d
list of files to process.
