    <para>
        The <function>cli_checkFiles</function> standardizes the way
        files are verified inside the centos-art.sh script. It tries
        to answers questions like <emphasis>Is
        <replaceable>LOCATION</replaceable> a regular file or
        directory?</emphasis> or even, <emphasis>does
        <replaceable>LOCATION</replaceable> have execution
        rights?</emphasis>.  You can provide several
        <replaceable>LOCATION</replaceable> arguments to this function
        in order to perform the verifications over them. Likewise, you
        can combine different options to realize different
        verifications over the same files. In case the verification
        fails, an error message is printed and the script finishes its
        execution.

    <para>
        The <function>cli_checkRepoDirSource</function> function
        standardizes the path construction to directories inside it
        the working copy, using absolute paths.  This function
        transforms relative paths passed as non-option arguments to
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script command-line into
        absolute paths inside the working copy and verifies whether
        they really exist as directories inside the working copy or
        not. If the path provided doesn't exist as directory inside
        the working copy, the script will finish its execution
        immediately with an error message. Otherwise, if the directory
        exists, the variable <varname>ACTIONVAL</varname> is redefined
        with the related absolute path for further use.

    <para>
        Use the <function>cli_checkRepoDirSource</function> function

    <para>
        The <function>cli_expandTMarkers</function> standardizes
        construction of translation markers and their related
        expansion. As convention, translation markers are set inside
        source files (e.g., DocBook, SVG) and expanded inside temporal
        instances used to produce final contents.
    </para>
    <para>
        Translation markers written in source files must comply the
        <literal>=[A-Z_]+=</literal> regular expression pattern. For
        example, <literal>=UNKNOWN_MARKER=</literal> is a valid
        translation marker without any replacement. To prevent
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script from expanding
        translation markers, add a backslash (<literal>\</literal>)
        between the first equal sign and the following letter. For
        example, <literal>=\...=</literal> won't be expanded.
    </para>
    <para>
        The <function>cli_expandTMarkers</function> supports the
        following translation markers:

    <term><literal>=\COPYRIGHT_YEAR=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        These translation markers expand to the last year used in
        copyright notes. For example,
        <literal>=COPYRIGHT_YEAR_LAST=</literal>.

    <term><literal>=\COPYRIGHT_YEARS_LIST=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation markers expand to the list of years used in
        copyright notes. For example,
        <literal>=COPYRIGHT_YEARS_LIST=</literal>.  The first year
        represents the time we began to work on &TCAR;.

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\COPYRIGHT_HOLDER=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the holder used in
        copyright notes. For example,
        <literal>=COPYRIGHT_HOLDER=</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\COPYRIGHT_HOLDER_PREDICATE=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands both the holder and the
        predicate used in copyright notes. For example,
        <literal>=COPYRIGHT_HOLDER_PREDICATE=</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\BRAND=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the brand name used on
        files names and URLs inside &TCAR;.  For example,
        <literal>=BRAND=</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\LICENSE=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the license information
        used in files created by <command>centos-art.sh</command>
        script. For example, <literal>=LICENSE=</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\LICENSE_URL=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the license URL used in
        files created by <command>centos-art.sh</command> script. For
        example, <literal>=LICENSE_URL=</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\THEME=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the theme portion of path
        you are producing through centos-art.sh script. As
        consequence, this translation marker should be used in
        situations where you are producing theme components only.
        This translation marker expands its value by retrieving the
        theme part of the path you provide as non-option argument to
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script. For example, if you
        provide the path
        <filename>trunk/Identity/Images/Themes/Modern/2/Distro/5</filename>,
        this translation will expand to the
        <literal>Modern/2/</literal> value.
    </para>
    <para>
        In case you need to retrieve the theme name or version
        separately one another, then you can use the
        <literal>=\THEMENAME=</literal> and
        <literal>=\THEMERELEASE=</literal> translation markers,
        respectively. When you use these translation markers, forward
        slashes are removed from result. So, if you provide the path
        <filename>trunk/Identity/Images/Themes/Modern/2/Distro/5</filename>,
        <literal>=\THEMENAME=</literal> will expand to
        <literal>Modern</literal> and
        <literal>=THEMERELEASE=</literal> will expand to
        <literal>2</literal>.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\RELEASE=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the current release
        information of your CentOS distribution. By default this
        information is retrieved from
        <filename>/etc/redhat-release</filename>. In case the option
        <option>--release</option> be passed, the value specified with
        it will overwrite the default value and will be this the one
        used as reference for this translation marker to retrieve the
        release information. So, for example, if you are running a
        CentOS-5.8 distribution and no <option>--release</option>
        option is passed to <command>centos-art.sh</command> script,
        this translation marker expands to <literal>5.8</literal>. On
        the other hand, if you are still running a CentOS-5.8
        distribution but provide the <option>--release=6.3</option>
        option to <command>centos-art.sh</command> script, this
        translation marker expands to <literal>6.3</literal> instead.
    </para>
    <para>
        In case you need to retrieve minor and major release numbers
        separately one another, then you can use the
        <literal>=\MINOR_RELEASE=</literal> and
        <literal>=\MAJOR_RELEASE=</literal> translation makers,
        respectively.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\ARCH=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the current architecture of
        your CentOS Distribution. By default this information is
        retrieved from <command>uname -i</command>. In case the option
        <option>--arch</option> be passed, the value specified with it
        will overwrite the default value and will be the one used as
        reference. For example, if the <command>uname -i</command>
        outputs the line <computeroutput>i386</computeroutput>, this
        translation marker will expand to <literal>i386</literal>. On
        the other hand, if you pass the <option>--arch=x86_64</option>
        option to <command>centos-art.sh</command> script, this
        translation marker will expand to <literal>x86_64</literal>
        instead.
    </para>
    </listitem>
    </varlistentry>

    <varlistentry>
    <term><literal>=\URL=</literal></term>
    <listitem>
    <para>
        This translation marker expands to the URL which points to
        &TCP; home page. For example, <literal>=URL=</literal>.  In
        case you are using the centos-art.sh script in a different
        locale but English (<literal>en_US.UTF-8</literal>), this
        translation marker expands as usual but with the language
        information appended to the end of the string. For example, if
        you are executing the centos-art.shscript for Spanish locale
        (e.g., <literal>es_ES.UTF-8</literal>), this translation
        marker expands to <literal>=URL=es/</literal>.
    </para>

    <para>
        In case you need to expand other URL related to &TCP; domain,
        use translation markers described in <xref
        linkend="scripts-bash-funref-expandTMarkers-Url" />. Likewise
        =\URL=, translation markers described in <xref
        linkend="scripts-bash-funref-expandTMarkers-Url" /> does
        append the current language information to the end of the URL
        string based on the locale information you are currently
        executing the <command>centos-art.sh</command> script.

        The <function>cli_printMessage</function> function
        standardizes the way centos-ar.sh scirpt prints messages. By
        default, centos-art.sh script prints all messages to the
        standard output with the exception of those messages printed
        with the <option>--as-stderr-line</option> option, which are
        printed to standard error output instead.
    </para>

    <para>
        The <function>cli_printMessage</function> function requires
        two arguments.  The first argument specifies the
        <replaceable>MESSAGE</replaceable> you want to print and the
        second argument specifies the FORMAT you'll use to print that
        message. Because this function is so used inside the
        centos-art.sh script, it is convenient to provide localization
        to strings passed as <replaceable>MESSAGE</replaceable> using
        <command>gettext</command> contructions when they aren't
        paths.
    </para>

    <para>
        The <function>cli_printMessage</function> function accepts the
