Git::Annex::BatchCommand - Perl interface to git-annex --batch commands
version 0.001
# you should not instantiate this class yourself; use Git::Annex::batch my $annex = Git::Annex->new("/home/spwhitton/annex"); my $batch = $annex->batch("find", "--not", "--in=here"); # see git-annex-find(1) -- `git annex find --batch --not --in here` # prints an empty string for each file which is not present say "foo/bar is not present in this repo" if $batch->say("foo/bar");
This class can be used to run git-annex commands which take the --batch option. You can feed the command lines of input and you will get back git-annex's responses.
--batch
The main point of using --batch commands from Perl is to keep git-annex running rather than repeatedly executing new git-annex processes to perform queries or request changes.
Initialise a batch process in Git::Annex $annex, running git-annex subcommand $cmd (e.g. setpresentkey) with arguments @args.
$annex
$cmd
setpresentkey
@args
You should use Git::Annex::batch in preference to this method.
Say a line or lines of input to the batch command's standard input. Trailing line breaks in $input are optional.
$input
In list context, returns a list of git-annex's responses to the items of input, chomped. In scalar context, returns the last of git-annex's responses, chomped.
Synonym for say method.
say
Kill and restart the --batch command.
This is sometimes needed to ensure the --batch command picks up changes made to the git-annex branch.
