From version 0.5, *centos-art.sh* script implements the idea of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules to its base design. Modules are a collection of functions
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
written in Bash that can call themselves one another to create
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
individual execution environments. They may be nested to achieve high
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
levels of maintainability and extensibility. This make possible for
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules writers to divide complicated tasks into smaller tasks that
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
can be easier to debug, maintain and share with other modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
efficiently (e.g., instead of loading modules all at once, they are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
only loaded at demand and unset once they conclude their execution).
|
|

This article describes the modular design of *centos-art.sh* script.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
It is a good place for you to start if you are planning to contribute
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
new module environments to *centos-art.sh* script or want to know more
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
about how they work. The next section delves into what a module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environment is, the three module types you can find in it and the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
correct way of execute each one of them.

Module Environment

e54180 |
------------------
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
When you execute the *centos-art.sh* script you create an execution
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environment in which variables and functions are defined. This
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
execution environment is the higher environment inside *centos-art.sh*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
script. It is considered to have a ``global'' scope, so variables and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
functions defined inside it are always available for any function
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
execution made from it. You can control the execution environment of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*centos-art.sh* script through +centos-art.sh+ and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
+centos-art.conf.sh+ files. These files don't provide too much
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
functionality so specific module environments are executed from
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
+centos-art.sh+ at demand, to extend its functionality.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Module environments are made of small functions that perform small
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
tasks and can be further executed in a specific order to produce a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
desired result. Module environments are executed and destroyed at
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
demand. Inside *centos-art.sh*, module environments can be either
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``parent modules,'' ``child modules,'' or ``sibling modules.''

Parent Modules
|
|

e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Parent modules are initiated by executing the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*tcar_setModuleEnvironment* function with the *-t parent* option set
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
on it. Parent modules are very simple in design and you can use them
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to implement simple solutions quickly. Normally, when you execute a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
parent module, you initiate the highest module environment possible
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
inside *centos-art.sh* script. Because of such high scope, parent
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules are frequently used to define module's global variables,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
interpret module-specific options passed through the command-line and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
execute the appropriate actions based on them.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
In <<debug-parent-modules>>, we have executed the *hello* module with
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the *--greeting=hi* and *--debug* options through the command-line. In
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
this example, *centos-art.sh* script executes a parent module named
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*hello*, processes the module-specific options passed through the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
command-line, prints a greeting message to standard output and exits
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
successfully.

<<debug-parent-modules>> describes an entire module environment in

|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
action. With this information you can create your own module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environment, already. However, when your module is getting too much
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
complicated you probably want to divide it in smaller pieces that you
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
can execute accordingly, based on the purpose you defined for it. Such
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
kind of division can be implemented as described in
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<module-optimization>>.

This section has covered basic concepts related to module environment
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
inside *centos-art.sh* script. The next section takes these concepts
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and focuses on the implementation of them. Once you finish it, you
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
should be able of writing your own module environments from scratch
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
inside *centos-art.sh* script.

|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
The *centos-art.sh* script implements module environments inside the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``+Modules+'' directory, as described in <<module-structure>>.

e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
For example, consider the creation of a module named *hello*. The
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
purpose of this module is to print a greeting message to standard
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
output and then exit successfully. To create such a module, we need to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
create a directory named ``Hello'' inside the ``Modules'' directory
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and put an initialization file named ``hello.sh'' inside it. Because
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
we want to execute the *hello* module from *centos-art.sh* script
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
command-line, we put it in the first level of directories of +Modules+
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
directory. See <<parent-module-layout>>.

Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<parent-module-layout>> presents a complete module layout you can use
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
as reference to create your own module implementations. However, it is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
not complete yet. At this point, when you execute *centos-art.sh*, it
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
is able to find out *hello* module's initialization file and execute
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
it but that prints an error message because the initialization file
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
doesn't have a function definition inside. It is completely empty. In
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
order for *centos-art.sh* script to do something useful, you need to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
write a function definition inside the initialization file, as
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
described in <<module-init-file>>.
|

The Initialization File
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
The module's initialization file contains the module's main function
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
definition and a comment describing what it does on top of it. This
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
comment includes a small description about what the function does, a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
written by section, the copyright note and the legal status of the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
file. The function definition is set later and must be written using
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the long definition format (i.e., it must begin with the word
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``+function+,'' then the function name, and finally the ``+{+''
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
character). The name of the function is exactly the same of the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
initialization file but without the +.sh+ extension. These conditions
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
are required in order for *centos-art.sh* script to execute the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
function definition and destroy it when it is no longer used. See
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<initialization-file>>.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
The function definition is where you write all the commands you want
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the module runs, once executed. The function definition can be as
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
simple as just one single line of code or as complex as you can
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
imagine. It is the place where you express your solutions. However,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
when writing initialization files, it is considered a good practice to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
avoid any sort of complexity. Instead, try to write small and simple
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
initialization files. In case you notice the initialization file is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
growing up inevitably, you can reduce its code by refactoring it. To
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
do this, you can use resources like module related functions and child
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules. These resources are described in <<module-optimization>>, and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
they help you to keep the initialization file in a clean state, easy
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to understand, maintain and debug.

The function definition described in <<initialization-file>> uses the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*tcar_printMessage* global function to print localized versions of the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
string ``Hello, World!'' to standard output. Because there isn't no
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
other command in the function definition, when the greeting message is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
printed out, *centos-art.sh* destroys the *hello* module and exit
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
successfully. This process is more visible when also pass the

Congratulations! You've implemented a module environment inside
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*centos-art.sh* script. With the information you have so far, you are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
able to create your own module environment implementations. The next
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
section delves into available resources you can use to simplify module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environments when the initialization file starts growing inevitably
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and complexity daemons begin hammering your head.

The *centos-art.sh* script provides four resources you can use to

|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
optimize your module implementations. These resources are ``related

functions,'' ``child modules,'' ``sibling modules'' and ``recursive

Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Related functions are very useful when you need to simplify the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
function definition of one initialization file. For example, consider
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
extending the *hello* module so it is able to interpret arguments
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
passed through the command-line. Now, inside the initialization file,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
we have some variable definitions, one function call to a module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
related function named *hello_getOptions*, and a decision on how the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
greeting message must be printed out based on the collected actions.

======================================================================
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
When you execute the command *centos-art.sh hello* with the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*--greeting=hi* argument, *centos-art.sh* stores module-specific
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
arguments inside the +TCAR_MODULE_ARGUMENT+ variable, creates a list
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
of all function definitions inside the module directory and exports
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
them. This includes the function definition of the initialization
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
file itself. Then *centos-art.sh* executes the function definition
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
set inside the initialization file and leaves all other function
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
definitions, already in memory, waiting for further execution. At this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
point, the *hello* initialization function sets some default values
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and execute the *hello_getOptions* function to parse all the arguments
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
passed through the command-line and redefines the +ACTIONS+ variable
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
based on them. Using the +ACTIONS+ variables it decides whether to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
print the greeting message immediately or execute the child modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
named *output* so it decides what to do with the information collected
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
so far.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<hello_getOptions-definition>> defines the options you can pass to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*hello* module and the associated actions they must perform for each
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
of them. Actions aren't immediately executed here. Instead, they are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
stored in the +ACTIONS+ variable for further processing (e.g., we
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
store the names of the modules we want to execute later). The
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
+ACTIONS+ variable was defined in the initialization file so it has a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
global scope inside the module environment and is reachable from any
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
related function executed inside it. Storing the actions this way
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
lets the *hello* module to collect information about different actions
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and execute them all in just one command. When all options have been
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
parsed, only non-option arguments remain in the +TCAR_MODULE_ARGUMENT+
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |

[IMPORTANT]
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<hello_getOptions-definition>> presents the standard construction we
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
use inside *centos-art.sh* script for parsing arguments passed through
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the command-line in a per-module basis. As convention, all the parent
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules you write must be able to interpret the *--help* and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*--version* options using the construction described here.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Related functions are very useful when you are refactoring the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
initialization file of a module. However, they aren't so efficient
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
when you need to execute them at demand (e.g., based on specific
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
conditions). When a module is executed, related functions are exported
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to *centos-art.sh* script execution environment. They remain there,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
consuming memory, until the module they belong to is destroyed. If you
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
create a related function and never execute it, it will consume
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
memory, as well. So, use related functions when you are absolutely
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
sure they will be executed at some point, in one single iteration of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*centos-art.sh* script. If you need to execute functions at demand,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
use child modules, instead.

Child Modules
|
|

e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Child modules are initiated by executing the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*tcar_setModuleEnvironment* function with the *-t child* option set on
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
it. Child modules have the characteristic of being nested modules.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
They cannot be executed from the command-line. Normally, child modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
are executed from parent modules but they can be executed from other
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
child modules, too. When several child modules are executed in one
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
single iteration of *centos-art.sh*, they create a chain of modules.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
A chain of modules is very useful in situations where you want to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
divide one large task into smaller tasks and also control which of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
these smaller tasks is executed based on specific conditions (e.g.,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
you may want to render images or documentation, but not both, in one
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
single iteration of *centos-art.sh* script). In a chain of modules,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
lower modules in the chain (those started last) have access to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
information set by modules higher in the chain (those started first),
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
but not the opposite. When processing information this way, modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
aren't destroyed until the last module executed in the chain has
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
finished its work (e.g., all the commands inside it have been
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executed). At that point, child modules are destroyed in the reverse
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
order they were executed.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
For example, when you execute the *hello* module with both *--debug*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and *--upper* option, *centos-art.sh* script creates a chain of three
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules to produce the greeting message. Firstly, it begins by
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executing the parent module named *hello*, then it continues with the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
child module named *output* which in turn executes the child module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
name *lower* to finally print the expected greeting message. In this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
example, the module named *lower* is the last module in the chain of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executed modules. It has access to all information defined by earlier
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules (e.g., in *hello* and *output* modules) and none of its earlier
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules will be destroyed until it has finished its work. This process
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
becomes more visible when you take a look at <<debug-child-modules>>.

The module environment described in <<debug-child-modules>> shows the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
child modules' ability of reducing scope as they get deeper in the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
chain of executed modules. However, child modules lack the possibility
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
of nest modules that share the same scope. For example, in the *hello*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module described above, you cannot execute the modules *lower* or
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*upper* from *camel* module, as if they were child modules of it.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
That is not possible because they all have the same scope, which is,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to print the greeting message to standard output. Child modules are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
conceived to reduce the module scope as new child modules are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executed. When you need to execute new module environments and, also,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
retain the last scope from which the new module is executed, you need
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to use ``_sibling modules_,'' instead.

Sibling Modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Sibling modules are initiated by executing the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*tcar_setModuleEnvironment* function with the *-t sibling* option set
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
on it. Sibling modules are another type of nested modules but, in
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
contrast with child modules, sibling modules cannot be executed from
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
parent modules. Normally, sibling modules are executed from other
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
sibling modules but, considering the context, they can be executed
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
from child module too, to initiate sibling processing. When several
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
siblings modules are executed, they also build a chain of modules. In
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
contrast with the chain of child modules, the chain of sibling modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
destroys the last sibling module executed before executing the next
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
sibling module. This make the chain to stop its growing at sibling
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module processing, unless you call a child module from a sibling
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module. In this case, the chain expansion would continue as long as
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the number of child modules you execute. This process becomes more
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
visible when you take a look at <<debug-sibling-modules>>.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
In <<debug-sibling-modules>>, we've executed the *hello* module with
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the *--greeting=hi*, *--camel*, and *--debug* options. In this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
example, *centos-art.sh* script executes the *hello* module then the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*output* module which in turn executes the *camel* module. At this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
point, can appreciate how the chain of modules stop growing. Observe
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
that *camel* module has gained the position 2 in the chain of modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and executes the *upper* module which takes the position 3, as
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
expected. Now, when *upper* module finishes its work it is destroyed
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and the module's counter is reset to its previous value which is 2
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
(the one set by *camel* module). Then, *camel* executes the *lower*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module which take position 3 at the chain of modules until it
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
finishes. When it finishes, the *camel* module finishes its work and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
is destroyed, then *output*, then *hello*.

e54180 |
<<debug-sibling-modules>> shows a single iteration of *centos-art.sh*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
script executing different types of modules. Normally, one module is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executed at some point and destroyed at the same point when it has
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
finished its work, however, what if the next immediate module you are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
about to execute is the same module you are about to destroyed? This
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
is, you need to execute the last module in the chain of executed
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules again, but, this time, from itself. In cases like this, the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*centos-art.sh* script doesn't destroy the last module. It cannot,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
because you are certainly executing a new module from itself, so it
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
has to wait for this new call to finish in order to be destroyed. This
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
kind of processing is known as _processing modules recursively._

Recursive Modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
When one module environment executes itself we are in presence of a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
recursive module execution. The execution of modules recursively
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
doesn't destroy the last module in the chain of executed modules and
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
doesn't increment or decrement the module counter either. The module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
counter is somehow frozen until a different module environment is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executed. In these cases, the last module environment remains in
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
memory for the new module execution to make use of. This process
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
becomes more visible when you take a look at
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<debug-recursive-modules>>.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
[CAUTION]
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
When you execute modules recursively, you should be very careful not
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
to get trapped into an endless loop.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
In <<debug-recursive-modules>>, we've executed the *hello* module with
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the *--greeting=hello*, *--random*, and *--debug* options. In this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
example, *centos-art.sh* script executes a parent module named *hello*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
which in turn executes a child module named *output* which in turn
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executes a child module named *random*. At this point, the *random*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules executes itself five times (the number of characters passed as
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
value to greeting option) to print out random letters from the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
greeting message. The output may have no much sense on itself but the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
related debugging information helps to understand the execution of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules recursively.

Recursive execution of modules occurs only when the module you are
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
executing is considered sibling of the last module executed in the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
chain of executed modules and they both have the same name. The fact
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
that no variable name is printed out in <<debug-recursive-modules>>
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
means that they were not created. The arrows change from +->+ to +~>+,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
means that module's related functions weren't exported for the new
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module execution either. It also means that the initialization script
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
is reusing both related functions and variables from the last module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environment in the chain of executed modules. In this case the

|

highest level which you can store modules in. Modules stored in this
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
location are known as parent modules. Parent modules can optimize
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
their structure by using related functions, child modules, sibling
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
modules and recursive modules. Basically, all these types of modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
share the same structure. They all have function files and,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
optionally, module related stuff like locales, documentation,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
configuration and dependent modules. See <<module-directory-layout>>.

[IMPORTANT]
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
From version 0.7 on, child modules no longer have +Locales+, +Manuals+
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and +Configs+ directories inside. Only initialization files, related
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
functions and +Modules+ directory are supported inside child modules.

Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
<<module-directory-layout>> presents a complete structure for module
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
environments you can use as reference for writing your own modules. It
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
begins with a parent module directory named ``Hello'' which contains
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
an initialization file (``hello.sh'') and one related function file
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
(``hello_getOptions.sh''). These files work together with a child
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module named *output* which in turn has four child modules inside
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
named *camel,* *lower,* *random,* and *upper.* The +Locales+ directory
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
contains the required information to print *hello* messages in
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
different languages (e.g., it only supports Spanish language in our
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
example, but it can be extended to other languages as needed). The
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
+Manuals+ directory contains all the files required to produce
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
documentation for the *hello* module (e.g., the information you read
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
when provide the *--help* option in the command-line).
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
The Function Files
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
The function files are used to create the initialization file of a
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module and the related functions of it. As convention, both
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
initialization file and related function files are stored in the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module's directory, see <<module-directory-layout>>.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
At execution time, the definition of related function are exported to
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
*centos-art.sh* execution environment before executing the function
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
definition set inside the initialization file, so related functions
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
are always available for you to use in the initialization file file
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and other related functions as well. This is rather useful when you
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
are refactoring your initialization scripts and probably related
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
functions as well.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
As naming convention, related function files are written using the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module's name, then an underscore (``_''), then a descriptive name
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
and, finally, the ``+.sh+'' extension. The function definition inside
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the function file also follows this convention but excludes the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``+.sh+'' extension from name (e.g., the function file
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``+hello_getOptions.sh+'' has a function definition named
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``+hello_getOptions+'' inside). The *centos-art.sh* script relays in
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
these conventions to export and destroy related functions when new
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module environments are created and destroyed. If you create related
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
function files with a pattern different from that described here, they
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
will not be executed nor available inside the initialization file of
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the module environment being currently executed.

e54180 |
This directory contains nested modules (e.g., child modules) and is
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
used for extending the current module functionality in a modular way.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
There isn't a visible limitation in the number of +Modules+ directory
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
you can nest inside one module to achieve certain functionality so,
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
you can create as many levels of +Modules+ directories as you need.

Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
This directory contains module-specific localization files. The
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
content of this directory is automatically generated by *locale*
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
module of *centos-art.sh* script, when you execute it using the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
initialization file as source and the *--update --sibling* options.
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
Once the localization files have been created, you need to edit PO
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
files to translate the strings from English to your preferred
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
language. If the translatable strings inside the module's source
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
files change, you need to run the *locale* module again to update the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
PO files and repeat the localization process all over again.

e54180 |
This directory contains module-specific configuration. Some modules
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
(e.g., ``tuneup'') need to store auxiliary files required to achieve
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
its main goal (e.g., the ``tuneup'' module uses sed files to transform
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
the top-comment of scripts each time it is executed, the sed file
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
itself is stored in this directory). Whenever you need to make
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
reference to a file inside this directory, use the
|
|
Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
``TCAR_MODULE_DIR_CONFIGS'' variable. This variable provides the

Alain Reguera Delgado |
e54180 |
absolute path of module-related configuration file.
