VCS::Dir 0.14

VCS::Dir is a Perl module for access to a VCS directory.

SYNOPSIS

use VCS;
my $d = VCS::Dir->new($url);
print $d->url . "n";
foreach my $x ($d->content) {
print "t" . $x->url . "t" . ref($x) . "n";
}

METHODS

Methods marked with a "*" are not yet finalised/implemented.
VCS::Dir->create_new($url) *

$url is a file-container URL. Creates data as appropriate to convince the VCS that there is a file-container, and returns an object of class VCS::Dir, or throws an exception if it fails. This is a pure virtual method, which must be over-ridden, and cannot be called directly in this class (a die will result).
VCS::Dir->introduce($name, $create_class) *

$name is a file or directory name, absolute or relative. $create_class is either File or Dir, and implementation classes are expected to use something similar to this code, to call the appropriate create_new:

sub introduce {
my ($class, $name, $create_class) = @_;
my $call_class = $class;
$call_class =~ s/[^:]+$/$create_class/;
return $call_class->create_new($name);
}

This is a pure virtual method, which must be over-ridden, and cannot be called directly in this class (a die will result).
VCS::Dir->new($url)

$url is a file-container URL. Returns an object of class VCS::Dir, or throws an exception if it fails. Normally, an override of this method will call VCS::Dir->init($url) to make an object, and then add to it as appropriate.
VCS::Dir->init($url)

$url is a file-container URL. Returns an object of class VCS::Dir. This method calls VCS->parse_url to make sense of the URL.
$dir->tags

* THIS METHOD WORKS RECURSIVELY ON THE DIRECTORY AT HAND *

Returns all the tags inside a directory and a little bit more information. The actual datstructure is a hash of hashes. The first level hash is a hash keyed on tag names, in other words it lists as its keys every single tag name in or below a directory. Each of these tag names point to another hash with has filenames as keys and version numbers as values.
$dir->url

Returns the $url argument to new.
$dir->content

Returns a list of objects, either of class VCS::Dir or VCS::File, corresponding to files and directories within this directory.
$dir->path

Returns the absolute path of the directory.
$dir->read_dir($dir)

Returns the contents of the given filesystem directory. This is intended as a utility method for subclasses.
