Class Parser.RCS

Description

A RCS file parser that eats a RCS *,v file and presents nice pike data structures of its contents.

Variable access

array(string) Parser.RCS.access

Description

The usernames listed in the ACCESS section of the RCS file.

Variable branch

string|int(0..0) Parser.RCS.branch

Description

The default branch (or revision), if present, 0 otherwise.

Variable branches

mapping(string:string) Parser.RCS.branches

Description

Maps branch numbers (indices) to branch names (values).

Note

The indices are short branch revision numbers (ie "1.1.2" and not "1.1.0.2").

Variable comment

string|int(0..0) Parser.RCS.comment

Description

The RCS file comment if present, 0 otherwise.

Variable description

string Parser.RCS.description

Description

The RCS file description.

Variable expand

string Parser.RCS.expand

Description

The keyword expansion options (as named by RCS) if present, 0 otherwise.

Variable head

string Parser.RCS.head

Description

Version number of the head version of the file.

Inherit _RCS

inherit Parser._RCS : _RCS

Variable locks

mapping(string:string) Parser.RCS.locks

Description

Maps from username to revision for users that have acquired locks on this file.

Constant max_revisions_supported

constant int Parser.RCS.max_revisions_supported

Description

Feature detection constant for the max_revisions argument to create(), parse() and parse_delta_sections().

Variable rcs_file_name

string Parser.RCS.rcs_file_name

Description

The filename of the RCS file as sent to create().

Variable revisions

mapping(string:Revision) Parser.RCS.revisions

Description

Data for all revisions of the file. The indices of the mapping are the revision numbers, whereas the values are the data from the corresponding revision.

Variable strict_locks

bool Parser.RCS.strict_locks

Description

1 if strict locking is set, 0 otherwise.

Variable tags

mapping(string:string) Parser.RCS.tags

Description

Maps tag names (indices) to tagged revision numbers (values).

Note

This mapping typically contains raw revision numbers for branches (ie "1.1.0.2" and not "1.1.2").

Variable trunk

array(Revision) Parser.RCS.trunk

Description

Data for all revisions on the trunk, sorted in the same order as the RCS file stored them - ie descending, most recent first, I'd assume (rcsfile(5), of course, fails to state such irrelevant information).

Method create

Parser.RCS Parser.RCS(string|void file_name, string|int(0..0)|void file_contents, void|int max_revisions)

Description

Initializes the RCS object.

Parameter file_name

The path to the raw RCS file (includes trailing ",v"). Used mainly for error reporting (truncated RCS file or similar). Stored in rcs_file_name.

Parameter file_contents

If a string is provided, that string will be parsed to initialize the RCS object. If a zero (0) is sent, no initialization will be performed at all. If no value is given at all, but file_name was provided, that file will be loaded and parsed for object initialization.

Parameter max_revisions

Maximum number of revisions to process. If unset, all revisions will be processed.
