<h2 class="section"> 3.44 trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Shell </h2>
<a name="SEC262"></a>
<h3 class="subsection"> 3.44.1 Goals </h3>
<p>This section exists to organize files related to <code>shell</code>
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script.
</p>
<a name="SEC263"></a>
<h3 class="subsection"> 3.44.2 Description </h3>
<p>The <code>shell</code> functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script helps
you to maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose
you've created many functionalities for <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script,
and you want to use a common copyright and license note for
consistency in all your script files. If you have a bunch of files,
doing this one by one wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the
amount of files grows, updating the copyright and license note for all
of them would be a task rather tedious. The <code>shell</code> functionality
exists to solve maintainance tasks just as the one previously
mentioned.
</p>
<p>When you use <code>shell</code> functionality to update copyright inside
script files, it is required that your script files contain (at least)
the following top commentary structure:
</p>
<div class="float"><a name="fig_003atrunk_002fScripts_002fBash_002fFunctions_002fShell_003a1"></a>
<pre class="verbatim"> 1| #!/bin/bash
2| #
3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here.
4| #
5| # Copyright
6| #
7| # ...
8| #
9| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
10| # $Id$
11| # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
12|
13| function doSomething {
14|
15| }
</pre>
</div><p><strong>Figure 3.20: The functions script base comment structure
</strong>
</p>
<p>Relevant lines in the above structure are lines from 5 to 9.
Everything else in the file is left immutable.
</p>
<p>When you are updating copyright through <code>shell</code>
functionality, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script replaces everything
in-between line 5 --the first one matching <samp>`^# Copyright .+$'</samp>
string-- and line 9--the first long dash separator matching <samp>`^#
-+$'</samp>-- with the content of copyright template instance.
</p>
<blockquote class="orange"><img src="/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Identity/Widgets/Img/icon-admonition-attention.png" alt="Caution"><h3>Caution</h3><p> Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches
<samp>`^# -+$'</samp> regular expression <em>before</em> the function
definition. Otherwise, if the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line is present but no
long dash separator exists, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> will remove anything
in-between the <samp>`Copyright'</samp> line and the end of file. This way you
may lost your function definitions entirely.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The copyright template instance is created from one copyright template
stored in the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file. The template
instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At
this moment, when template instance is created, the
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script takes advantage of automation in order to
set copyright full name and date dynamically.
</p>
<p>When you use <code>shell</code> functionality to update copyright, the first
thing <tt>`shell'</tt> functionality does is requesting copyright
information to user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no
value was typed before pressing <kbd>RET</kbd> key), the <tt>`shell'</tt>
functionality uses its own default values.
</p>
<p>When <code>shell</code> functionality uses its own default values, the final
copyright note looks like the following:
</p>
<div class="float"><a name="fig_003atrunk_002fScripts_002fBash_002fFunctions_002fShell_003a2"></a>
<pre class="verbatim"> 1| #!/bin/bash

</pre>
</div><p><strong>Figure 3.21: The function script comment example
</strong>
</p>
<p>Relevant lines in the above structure are lines from 5 to 22. Pay
attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was
added into the top comment where previously was just three dots.
Everything else in the file was left immutable.
</p>
<p>To change copyright information (i.e., full name or year information),
run the <code>shell</code> functionality over the root directory containing
the script files you want to update copyright in and enter the
appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the
<code>shell</code> functionality as many times as you need to.
</p>
<p>To change copyright license (i.e., the text in-between lines 7 and
20), you need to edit the <tt>`Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed'</tt> file, set
the appropriate information, and run the <code>shell</code> functionality
once again for changes to take effect over the files you specify.

<h3 class="subsection"> 3.44.3 Usage </h3>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <code>centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'</code></dt>
<dt> <code>centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'</code></dt>
<dd><p>Use these commands to update copyright information in <samp>`.sh'</samp> files
under <samp>`path/to/dir'</samp> directory.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>When you provide <samp>`--filter='regex''</samp> argument, the list of files
to process is reduced as specified in <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression.
Inside <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular
expression is used in combination with <code>find</code> command to look
for files matching the regular expression path pattern.
</p>
<blockquote class="orange"><img src="/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Identity/Widgets/Img/icon-admonition-alert.png" alt="Warning"><h3>Warning</h3><p> In order for <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression to match
a file, the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expresion must match the whole file
path not just the file name.
</p></blockquote>
<p>For example, if you want to match all <tt>`render.conf.sh'</tt> files
inside <tt>`path/to/dir'</tt>, use the <code>.+/render.conf</code> regular
expression. Later, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses this value inside
<code>^$REGEX\.sh$</code> expression in order to build the final regular
expression (i.e., <code>^.+/render.conf\.sh$</code>) that is evaluated
against available file paths inside the list of files to process.
</p>
<p>Exceptionally, when you provide <samp>`--filter='regex''</samp> in the way
that <samp>`regex'</samp>, appended to <samp>`path/to/dir/'</samp> (i.e.
<samp>`path/to/dir/regex'</samp>), matches a regular file; the
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the file matching as only file in the
list of files to process.
