The help functionality is the interface the centos-art.sh script provides to control frequent documentation tasks (e.g., reading, editing, update output files, etc.) requied by specific documentation backends. Documentation backends supported by help functionality are described in . centos-art help [OPTIONS] path/to/dir ... The path/to/dir parameter specifies the directory structure inside the working copy of The CentOS Artwork Repository you want to process the related documentation entry for. More than one directory structure can be passed as path/to/dir parameter. The help functionality accepts the following options: --quiet Supress all output messages except error messages. When this option is passed, all confirmation requests are supressed as well and a possitive answer is assumed for them, just as if the --answer-yes option had been provided. --answer-yes Assume yes to all confirmation requests. --dont-commit-changes Supress all commit and update actions realized over files, before and after the action itself had took place over files in the working copy. --backend="STRING" Specify STRING as default documentation backend to use. Possible arguments to this options are: texinfo or docbook. If this option is not provided, texinfo is used as default documentation backend. --search="STRING" Go to node pointed by index entry STRING. --edit Edit documentation entry related to path specified by path/to/dir parameter. The path/to/dir parameter must point to any directory inside the repository. When more than one path/to/dir are passed as non-option arguments to the centos-art.sh script command-line, they are queued for further edition. The edition itself takes place through your default text editor (e.g., the one you specified in the EDITOR environment variable) and the text editor opens one file at time (i.e., the queue of files to edit is not loaded in the text editor.). --read Read documentation entry specified by path/to/dir path. This option is used internally by centos-art.sh script to print out the reference you can follow to know more about an error message. --update Update output files rexporting them from the specified backend source files. --copy Duplicate documentation entries inside the working copy of the repository. When documentation entries are copied, it is required to pass two non-option parameters in the command-line. The first non-option parameter is considered the source location and the second one the target location. Both source location and target location must point to a directory under the working copy. --delete Delete documentation entries specified by path/to/dir inside the working copy. It is possible to delete more than one documentation entry by specifying more path/to/dir parameters in the command-line. --rename Rename documentation entries inside the working copy. When documentation entries are renamed, it is required to pass only two non-option parameters to the command-line. The first non-option parameter is considered the source location and the second one the target location. Both source location and target location must point to a directory under the working copy. When documentation entries are removed (e.g., through --delete or --rename options), the help functionality takes care of updating nodes, menus and cross references related to documentation entries in order to keep the manual structure in a correct state. centos-art help --edit trunk/Identity This command edits the documentation entry related to trunk/Identity directory inside the repository working copy. centos-art help --read trunk/Identity This command reads the documentation entry related to trunk/Identity directory inside the repository working copy.
