DETAILS

        MANIFEST: Entry.pm
        PROJECT: meta
        VERSION: 0.20

SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Revision::Entry qw();
        my($object)=Meta::Revision::Entry->new();
        my($result)=$object->printd($xml);

DESCRIPTION

This object represents a single revision entry in a list of revisions made to a source file. It has a couple of basic elements in it: the revisors initials, the revision number, the date of the revision and remarks that accompanied the revision.

You can print this revision data in various formats (Docbook) and other uses. The idea is that if you have a tool (like a Source Control system) which has revision information you would write import code which will create these types of object and then ask them to output themselves in whatever.

FUNCTIONS

        BEGIN()
        print($$)
        printd($$)
        string($)
        perl_pod_line($$)
        TEST($)

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

BEGIN()

This block sets up the Entry object which has the following attributes: number: the number of the current revision. date: date at which the revision was made. initials: initials of the author who made the revision. remark: short remark which accompanied the revision. action: which action did the revision perform (new, update, delete). change: with which change (piece of work or a formal definition of a source control system) was the revision associated ? delta: what was the number of the change with which the revision was associated with ?

print($$)

This method prints the revision object to a regular file.

printd($$)

This method will print the current object in DocBook XML format using a writer object received. Take heed that the DocBook DTD only allows revremark OR revdescription and not both.

string($)

This method will return a string representing the entire information for this entry.

perl_pod_line($$)

This method will return the revision entry in a manner suitable for insertion in a perl POD section.

TEST($)
