    <title>Standardizing File Maintainance</title>

    <para>
        The <function>tuneup</function> functionality is the
        interface the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script provides
        to standardize the maintainance tasks related to individual
        files inside the working copy.
    </para>

    <screen>centos-art tuneup [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORY]</screen>

    <para>
        The <varname>DIRECTORY</varname> parameter specifies the
        directory path, inside the working copy of &TCAR;, where the
        files you want to process are stored in.  This paramter can be
        provided more than once in order to process more than one
        directory path in a single command execution.  When this
        parameter is not provided, the current directory path where
        the command was called from is used instead.
    </para>
    <para>
        The <function>tuneup</function> functionality accepts the
        following options: 
    </para>

    <variablelist>
    <varlistentry>
    <term><option>--quiet</option></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        Supress all output messages except error messages.  When this
        option is passed, all confirmation requests are supressed and
        a possitive answer is assumed for them, just as if the
        <option>--answer-yes</option> option would have been provided.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><option>--answer-yes</option></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
       Assume <emphasis>yes</emphasis> to all confirmation requests.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><option>--filter="REGEX"</option></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        Reduce the list of files to process inside
        <replaceable>path/to/dir</replaceable> using
        <replaceable>REGEX</replaceable> as pattern.  You can use this
        option to control the amount of files you want to tuneup.  The
        deeper you go into the directory structure the more specific
        you'll be about the files you want to tuneup.  When you cannot
        go deeper into the directory structure through
        <replaceable>path/to/dir</replaceable> specification, use this
        option to reduce the list of files therein.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><option>--dont-commit-changes</option></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        Supress all commit and update actions realized over files,
        before and after the action itself had took place over files
        in the working copy.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>
    </variablelist>

    <para>
        Tasks related to file maintainance are repetitive. You might
        find yourself doing them time after time inside the working
        copy of &TCAR;. Some of these maintainance tasks do update top
        comments on shell scripts, create table of contents for web
        pages, update metadata related to design models and remove
        unused definitions from design models.
    </para>

    <para>
        When you execute the tuneup functionality of centos-art.sh
        script, it looks for all files that match the supported
        extensions (e.g., <filename class="extension">.sh</filename>,
        <filename class="extension">.svg</filename> and <filename
        class="extension">.xhtml</filename>) in the directory
        specified, builds a list with them and applies the
        maintainance tasks using file extensions as reference.
    </para>

    <para>
        When shell scripts are found, the <function>tuneup</function>
        functionality of centos-art.sh script reads a comment template
        from
        <filename>trunk/Scripts/Functions/Tuneup/Shell/Config/topcomment.sed</filename>
        and applies it to all shell scripts found, one by one. As
        result, all shell scripts will end up having the same
        copyright and license information the comment template does.
    </para>
    <para>
        In order for the shell script top comment template to be
        applied correctly, the shell scripts you write must have the
        structure described in <xref linkend="scripts-bash-tuneup-fig1" />.
    </para>

    <para>
        The <function>tuneup</function> functionality of
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script replaces all lines
        between the <literal>Copyright</literal> line (e.g., line 5)
        and the first separator line (e.g., line 9), inclusively.
        Everything else will remain immutable in the file.
    </para>

    <para>
        When scalable vector graphics are found, the tuneup
        functionality reads a SVG metadata template from
        <filename>trunk/Scripts/Functions/Tuneup/Svg/Config/metadata.sed</filename>
        and applies it to all files found, one by one. Immediatly
        after the metadata template has been applied and, before
        passing to next file, all unused definition are removed from
        the file, too.
    </para>
    <para>
        The metadata applied by the SVG metadata template is created
        dynamicaly combining the absolute path of the file being
        currently modified, the workstation's date information, the
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script copyright holder
        (e.g., =COPYRIGHT_HOLDER=) as reference and the Creative
        Common Distribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License as default license
        to release SVG files.
    </para>
    <para>
        The elimination of unused definitions inside SVG files takes
        place through Inkscape's <option>--vacuum-defs</option>
        option, as described in its man page (e.g., <command>man
        inkscape</command>).
    </para>

    <para>
        When HTML files are found, the <function>tuneup</function>
        functionality of <command>centos-art.sh</command> script
        transforms web page headings to make them accessible through a
        table of contents.  The table of contents is expanded in
        place, wherever the <code>&lt;div
        class="toc"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</code> piece of code be in the
        file.  Once the table of contents has been expanded, there is
        no need to put anything else in the page.  You can run the
        <function>tuneup</function> functionality everytime you update
        the heading information so as to update the table of contents,
        too.
    </para>
    <para>
        In order for this functionality to build the table of contents
        from headings, you need to put headings in just one line. The
        headin level can vary from <code>h1</code> to <code>h6</code>
        with attribute definitions accepted.  Closing tag must be
        present and also match the openning tag.  Inside the heading
        definition an anchor definition must be present with attribute
        definitions accepted. The value of <property>name</property>
        and <property>href</property> attributes from the anchor
        element are set dynamically using the md5sum output of
        combining the page location, the <literal>head-</literal>
        string and the heading content itself.  If any of the
        components used to build the heading reference changes, you
        need to run the the tuneup functionality of
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script in order for the
        anchor elements to use the correct information.
    </para>
    <para>
        For example, the headings shown in <xref
        linkend="scripts-bash-tuneup-fig2" /> produces the table of
        contents shown in <xref linkend="scripts-bash-tuneup-fig3" />.
