[PATCH 14/36] attr: retire git_check_attrs() API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx>

Since nobody uses the old API, make it file-scope static, and update
the documentation to describe the new API.

 Querying Specific Attributes
 ----------------------------
 
-* Prepare an array of `struct git_attr_check` to define the list of
-  attributes you would want to check.  To populate this array, you would
-  need to define necessary attributes by calling `git_attr()` function.
+* Prepare `struct git_attr_check` using git_attr_check_initl()
+  function, enumerating the names of attributes whose values you are
+  interested in, terminated with a NULL pointer.  Alternatively, an
+  empty `struct git_attr_check` can be prepared by calling
+  `git_attr_check_alloc()` function and then attributes you want to
+  ask about can be added to it with `git_attr_check_append()`
+  function.
 
 * Call `git_check_attr()` to check the attributes for the path.
 
-* Inspect `git_attr_check` structure to see how each of the attribute in

 Querying All Attributes
 -----------------------
 
 To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
 
-* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which returns an array of `git_attr_check`
-  structures.
+* Prepare an empty `git_attr_check` structure by calling
+  `git_attr_check_alloc()`.
+
+* Call `git_all_attrs()`, which populates the `git_attr_check`
+  with the attributes attached to the path.
 
-* Iterate over the `git_attr_check` array to examine the attribute
-  names and values.  The name of the attribute described by a
-  `git_attr_check` object can be retrieved via
-  `git_attr_name(check[i].attr)`.  (Please note that no items will be
-  returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false
-  for all returned `git_array_check` objects.)
+* Iterate over the `git_attr_check.check[]` array to examine
+  the attribute names and values.  The name of the attribute
+  described by a  `git_attr_check.check[]` object can be retrieved via
+  `git_attr_name(check->check[i].attr)`.  (Please note that no items
+  will be returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return
+  false for all returned `git_array_check` objects.)
 
-* Free the `git_array_check` array.
+* Free the `git_array_check` by calling `git_attr_check_free()`.
