VCS::File Description

VCS::File is a Perl module for access to a file under version control. VCS::File is a Perl module for access to a file under version control.SYNOPSIS use VCS; my $f = VCS::File->new($url); print $f->url . "n"; foreach my $v ($f->versions) { print "tversion: " . $v->version . "t" . ref($v) . "n"; }VCS::File abstracts access to a file under version control.METHODSMethods marked with a "*" are not yet finalised/implemented.VCS::File->create_new($name) *$name is a file name, absolute or relative. Creates data as appropriate to convince the VCS that there is a file, and returns an object of class VCS::File, or throws an exception if it fails. This is a pure virtual method, which must be over-ridden, and cannot be called directly in this class (an exception ("die") will result).VCS::File->introduce($version_args) *$version_args is a hash-ref, see VCS::Version for details. Implementation classes are expected to use something similar to this code, to call create_new in the right VCS::Version subclass: sub introduce { my ($class, $version_args) = @_; my $call_class = $class; $call_class =~ s/+$/Version/; return $call_class->create_new($version_args); }This is a pure virtual method, which must be over-ridden, and cannot be called directly in this class (a die will result).VCS::File->new($url)$url is a file URL. Returns an object of class VCS::File, or throws an exception if it fails. Normally, an override of this method will call VCS::File->init($url) to make an object, and then add to it as appropriate.VCS::File->tags()Returns a reference to a hash that has keys that are any tags attached to the file and the values are the corresponding versions which the tags refer to.VCS::File->tags_hash()Cvs ONLYSame as for ->.VCS::File->tags_array()Cvs ONLYReturns an array of tags that are connected with the file, this is useful alongside tags_hash() as it allows you to inspect the order in which tags were applied.VCS::File->init($url)$url is a file URL. Returns an object of class VCS::File. This method calls VCS->parse_url to make sense of the URL.$file->urlReturns the $url argument to new.$file->versionsReturns a list of objects of class VCS::Version, in order of ascending revision number. If it is passed an extra (defined) argument, it only returns the last version as a VCS::Version.$file->pathReturns the absolute path of the file.Requirements:· Perl Requirements: · Perl
