3.55.1 Goals

1023f4
1023f4

This section exists to organize files related to shell

1023f4
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script.
1023f4

1023f4
1023f4

3.55.2 Description

1023f4
1023f4

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

1023f4
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
1023f4
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
1023f4
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
1023f4
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
1023f4
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
1023f4
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
1023f4
of them would be a task rather tedious. The shell functionality
1023f4
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
1023f4
mentioned.
1023f4

1023f4

When you use shell functionality to update copyright inside

1023f4
script files, it is required that your script files contain (at least)
1023f4
the following top commentary structure:
1023f4

1023f4
1023f4
 1| #!/bin/bash
1023f4
 2| #
1023f4
 3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here.
1023f4
 4| # 
1023f4
 5| # Copyright
1023f4
 6| #
1023f4
 7| # ...
1023f4
 8| #
1023f4
 9| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1023f4
10| # $Id$
1023f4
11| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
1023f4
12|
1023f4
13| function doSomething {
1023f4
14|     
1023f4
15| }
70ef27
1023f4

Figure 3.4: The functions script base comment structure

1023f4
1023f4

1023f4

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

1023f4
Everything else in the file is left immutable.
1023f4

1023f4

When you are updating copyright through shell

1023f4
functionality,  the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script replaces everything
1023f4
in-between line 5 --the first one matching <samp>`^# Copyright .+$'</samp>
1023f4
string-- and line 9--the first long dash separator matching <samp>`^#
1023f4
-+$'</samp>-- with the content of copyright template instance.
1023f4

1023f4
Caution

Caution

Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches

1023f4
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression before the function
1023f4
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
1023f4
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
1023f4
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
1023f4
may lost your function definitions entirely.
70ef27

42563b
1023f4

The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template

1023f4
stored in the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file.  The template
1023f4
instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At
1023f4
this moment, when template instance is created, the
1023f4
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script takes advantage of automation in order to
1023f4
set copyright full name and date dynamically.
1023f4

1023f4

When you use shell functionality to update copyright, the first

1023f4
thing <tt>`shell'</tt> functionality does is requesting copyright
1023f4
information to user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no
1023f4
value was typed before pressing RET key), the <tt>`shell'</tt>
1023f4
functionality uses its own default values.
1023f4

1023f4

When shell functionality uses its own default values, the final

1023f4
copyright note looks like the following:
1023f4

1023f4
1023f4
 1| #!/bin/bash
1023f4
 2| #
1023f4
 3| # doSomthing.sh -- The function description goes here.

Figure 3.5: The function script comment example

1023f4
70ef27

1023f4

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

1023f4
attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was
1023f4
added into the top comment where previously was just three dots.
1023f4
Everything else in the file was left immutable. 
70ef27

1023f4

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

1023f4
run the shell functionality over the root directory containing
1023f4
the script files you want to update copyright in and enter the
1023f4
appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the
1023f4
shell functionality as many times as you need to.
70ef27

1023f4

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

1023f4
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
1023f4
the appropriate information, and run the shell functionality
1023f4
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

3.55.3 Usage

70ef27
70ef27
1023f4
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'
1023f4
centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'
1023f4

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

1023f4
under <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> directory. 
70ef27

70ef27
d11e55
1023f4

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

1023f4
to process is reduced as specified in <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression.
1023f4
Inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular
1023f4
expression is used in combination with find command to look
1023f4
for files matching the regular expression path pattern.
70ef27

1023f4
Warning

Warning

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

1023f4
a file, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expresion must match the whole file
1023f4
path not just the file name. 
1023f4

70ef27
1023f4

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

1023f4
inside <tt>`path/to/dir'</tt>, use the .+/render.conf regular
1023f4
expression.  Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses this value inside
1023f4
^$REGEX\.sh$ expression in order to build the final regular
1023f4
expression (i.e., ^.+/render.conf\.sh$) that is evaluated
1023f4
against available file paths inside the list of files to process.
70ef27

1023f4

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

1023f4
that <samp>`regex'</samp>, appended to <samp>`path/to/dir/'</samp> (i.e.
1023f4
<samp>`path/to/dir/regex'</samp>), matches a regular file; the
1023f4
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the file matching as only file in the
1023f4
list of files to process.
