- ;# The validate routine takes a single multiline string consisting of
- ;# lines containing a filename plus a file test to try on it. (The
- ;# file test may also be a 'cd', causing subsequent relative filenames
- ;# to be interpreted relative to that directory.) After the file test
- ;# you may put '|| die' to make it a fatal error if the file test fails.
- ;# The default is '|| warn'. The file test may optionally have a ! prepended
- ;# to test for the opposite condition. If you do a cd and then list some
- ;# relative filenames, you may want to indent them slightly for readability.
- ;# If you supply your own "die" or "warn" message, you can use $file to
- ;# interpolate the filename.
-
- ;# Filetests may be bunched: -rwx tests for all of -r, -w and -x.
- ;# Only the first failed test of the bunch will produce a warning.
-
- ;# The routine returns the number of warnings issued.
-
- ;# Usage:
- ;# require "validate.pl";
- ;# $warnings += do validate('
- ;# /vmunix -e || die
- ;# /boot -e || die
- ;# /bin cd
- ;# csh -ex
- ;# csh !-ug
- ;# sh -ex
- ;# sh !-ug
- ;# /usr -d || warn "What happened to $file?\n"
- ;# ');
