2.60.2 Description

b130a0
063806

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

063806
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
063806
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
063806
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
063806
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
063806
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
063806
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
063806
of them would be a task rather tedious. The shell functionality
063806
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
063806
mentioned.
063806

063806

When you use shell functionality to update copyright inside

063806
script files, it is required that your script files contain (at least)
063806
the following top commentary structure:
063806

063806
063806
 1| #!/bin/bash
063806
 2| #
063806
 3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here.
063806
 4| # 
063806
 5| # Copyright
063806
 6| #
063806
 7| # ...
063806
 8| #
063806
 9| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
063806
10| # $Id$
063806
11| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
063806
12|
063806
13| function doSomething {
063806
14|     
063806
15| }
063806
063806

Figure 2.4: The functions script base comment structure

063806
063806

063806

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

063806
Everything else in the file is left immutable.
063806

063806

When you are updating copyright through shell

063806
functionality,  the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script replaces everything
063806
in-between line 5 --the first one matching <samp>`^# Copyright .+$'</samp>
063806
string-- and line 9--the first long dash separator matching <samp>`^#
063806
-+$'</samp>-- with the content of copyright template instance.
063806

063806
Caution

Caution

Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches

063806
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression before the function
063806
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
063806
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
063806
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
063806
may lost your function definitions entirely.
b9dbd3

063806

The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template

063806
stored in the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file.  The template
063806
instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At
063806
this moment, when template instance is created, the
063806
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script takes advantage of automation in order to
063806
set copyright full name and date dynamically.
063806

063806

When you use shell functionality to update copyright, the first

063806
thing <tt>`shell'</tt> functionality does is requesting copyright
063806
information to user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no
063806
value was typed before pressing RET key), the <tt>`shell'</tt>
063806
functionality uses its own default values.
063806

063806

When shell functionality uses its own default values, the final

063806
copyright note looks like the following:
063806

063806
063806
 1| #!/bin/bash
063806
 2| #
063806
 3| # doSomthing.sh -- The function description goes here.

063806

Figure 2.5: The function script comment example

063806
063806

063806

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

063806
attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was
063806
added into the top comment where previously was just three dots.
063806
Everything else in the file was left immutable. 
063806

063806

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

063806
run the shell functionality over the root directory containing
063806
the script files you want to update copyright in and enter the
063806
appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the
063806
shell functionality as many times as you need to.
063806

063806

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

063806
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
063806
the appropriate information, and run the shell functionality
063806
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

2.60.3 Usage

b9dbd3
b9dbd3
063806
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'
063806
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'
063806

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

063806
under <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> directory. 
063806

b9dbd3
b130a0
063806

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

063806
to process is reduced as specified in <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression.
063806
Inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular
063806
expression is used in combination with find command to look
063806
for files matching the regular expression path pattern.
063806

063806
Warning

Warning

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

063806
a file, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expresion must match the whole file
063806
path not just the file name. 
063806

b130a0
063806

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

063806
inside <tt>`path/to/dir'</tt>, use the .+/render.conf regular
063806
expression.  Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses this value inside
063806
^$REGEX\.sh$ expression in order to build the final regular
063806
expression (i.e., ^.+/render.conf\.sh$) that is evaluated
063806
against available file paths inside the list of files to process.
063806

063806

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

063806
that <samp>`regex'</samp>, appended to <samp>`path/to/dir/'</samp> (i.e.
063806
<samp>`path/to/dir/regex'</samp>), matches a regular file; the
063806
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the file matching as only file in the
063806
list of files to process.
