ee1f37

3.47.1 Goals

ee1f37
ee1f37

The <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash'</tt> directory exists to organize the trunk

ee1f37
development line of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> automation script.  The
ee1f37
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script standardizes frequent tasks inside your
ee1f37
working copy of CentOS Artwork Repository.
ee1f37

ee1f37

3.47.2 Description

ee1f37
ee1f37

The best way to understand <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> automation script is

ee1f37
studying its source code.  However, as start point, you may prefer to
ee1f37
read an introductory resume before diving into the source code
ee1f37
details.
ee1f37

ee1f37

The <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script is written in Bash. Most tasks, inside

ee1f37
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, have been organized in many specific
ee1f37
functionalities that you can invoke from the centos-art
ee1f37
command-line interface.
ee1f37

ee1f37

When you type the centos-art command in your terminal, the

ee1f37
operating system trys to execute that command. In order to execute the
ee1f37
command, the operating system needs to know where it is, so the
ee1f37
operating system uses the PATH environment variable to look for
ee1f37
that command location. If your system was prepared to use CentOS
010b2d
Artwork Repository correctly (see section trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Verify), you should have a symbolic link inside <tt>`~/bin/'</tt>
ee1f37
directory that points to the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script file. As
ee1f37
<tt>`~/bin/'</tt> directory is, by default, inside PATH environment
ee1f37
variable, the execution of centos-art command runs the
ee1f37
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script.
ee1f37

ee1f37

When <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script is executed, the first it does is

ee1f37
executing the <tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/initEnvironment.sh'</tt> script to
ee1f37
initialize global variables (e.g., gettext variables) and
ee1f37
global function scripts.  Global function scripts are located inside
ee1f37
<tt>`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions'</tt> directory and their file names
ee1f37
begin with <samp>`cli'</samp>. Global function scripts provide common
ee1f37
functionalities that can be used anywhere inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
ee1f37
script execution environment.
ee1f37

ee1f37

Once global variables and function scripts have been loaded,

ee1f37
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script executes the cli global function
ee1f37
from <tt>`cli.sh'</tt> function script to retrive command-line arguments
ee1f37
and define some default values that may be used later by specific
010b2d
function scripts (see section trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions).
ee1f37

ee1f37

As convenction, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> command-line arguments have

ee1f37
the following format:
ee1f37

ee1f37
centos-art arg1 --arg2=val2 --arg3=val3
ee1f37
ee1f37

In the above example, <samp>`centos-art'</samp> is the command you use to

ee1f37
invoke <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script. The <samp>`arg1'</samp> is required and
ee1f37
represents the functionality you want to perform (e.g.,
ee1f37
<samp>`verify'</samp>, <samp>`render'</samp>, <samp>`locale'</samp>, <samp>`manual'</samp>,
ee1f37
etc.). The remaining arguments are modifiers to <samp>`arg1'</samp>. The
ee1f37
<samp>`--arg2'</samp> definition is required and represets, specifically,
ee1f37
the action inside the functionality you want to perform.  The
ee1f37
<samp>`--arg3'</samp> and on, are optional.
ee1f37

ee1f37

Once command-line arguments have been retrived, the

ee1f37
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script loads specific functionalities using the
ee1f37
<tt>`cli_getFunctions.sh'</tt> function script. Only one specific
ee1f37
functionality can be loaded at one script execution I.e., you run
ee1f37
centos-art.sh script to run just one functionality.

ee1f37

Functionalities are implemented by means of actions. Once the

ee1f37
functionality has been initiazalized, actions initialization take
ee1f37
place for that functionality. Actions initialization model is very
ee1f37
similar to functions initialization model. But with the difference,
ee1f37
that actions are loaded inside function environment, and so, share
ee1f37
variables and functions defined inside function environment.
