010b2d

This section exists to organize files related to shell

010b2d
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script.

3.57.2 Description

ee1f37
010b2d

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

010b2d
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
010b2d
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
010b2d
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
010b2d
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
010b2d
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
010b2d
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
010b2d
of them would be a task rather tedious. The shell functionality
010b2d
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
010b2d
mentioned.
010b2d

010b2d

When you use shell functionality to update copyright inside

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

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

Figure 3.4: The functions script base comment structure

010b2d
010b2d

010b2d

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

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

010b2d

When you are updating copyright through shell

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

010b2d
Caution

Caution

Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches

010b2d
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression before the function
010b2d
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
010b2d
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
010b2d
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
010b2d
may lost your function definitions entirely.
ee1f37

ee1f37
010b2d

The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template

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

010b2d

When you use shell functionality to update copyright, the first

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

010b2d

When shell functionality uses its own default values, the final

010b2d
copyright note looks like the following:
010b2d

010b2d
010b2d
 1| #!/bin/bash
010b2d
 2| #
010b2d
 3| # doSomthing.sh -- The function description goes here.

Figure 3.5: The function script comment example

010b2d
010b2d

010b2d

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

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

010b2d

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

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

010b2d

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

010b2d
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
010b2d
the appropriate information, and run the shell functionality
010b2d
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

3.57.3 Usage

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

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

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

ee1f37
ee1f37
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
010b2d

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

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