#ifndef FILEATTR_H

/* File containing per-file attributes.  The format of this file is in
   cvs.texinfo but here is a quick summary.  The file contains a
   series of entries:

   ENT-TYPE FILENAME <tab> ATTRNAME = ATTRVAL
     {; ATTRNAME = ATTRVAL} <linefeed>

   ENT-TYPE is 'F' for a file.

   ENT-TYPE is 'D', and FILENAME empty, for default attributes.

   Other ENT-TYPE are reserved for future expansion.

   Note that the order of the line is not significant; CVS is free to
   rearrange them at its convenience.

   FIXME: this implementation doesn't handle '\0' in any of the
   fields.  We are encouraged to fix this (by cvs.texinfo).

   By convention, ATTRNAME starting with '_' is for an attribute given
   special meaning by CVS; other ATTRNAMEs are for user-defined attributes
   (or will be, once we add commands to manipulate user-defined attributes).

   Builtin attributes:

   _watched: Present means the file is watched and should be checked out
   read-only.

   _watchers: Users with watches for this file.  Value is
   WATCHER > TYPE { , WATCHER > TYPE }
   where WATCHER is a username, and TYPE is edit,unedit,commit separated by
   + (or nothing if none; there is no "none" or "all" keyword).

   _editors: Users editing this file.  Value is
   EDITOR > VAL { , EDITOR > VAL }
   where EDITOR is a username, and VAL is TIME+HOSTNAME+PATHNAME, where
   TIME is when the "cvs edit" command happened,
   and HOSTNAME and PATHNAME are for the working directory.  */

/* Prepare for a new directory with repository REPOS.  If REPOS is NULL,

/* Get the attribute ATTRNAME for file FILENAME.  The return value
   points into memory managed by the fileattr_* routines, should not
   be altered by the caller, and is only good until the next call to
   fileattr_clear or fileattr_set.  It points to the value, terminated
   by '\0' or ';'.  Return NULL if said file lacks said attribute.
   If FILENAME is NULL, return default attributes (attributes for
   files created in the future).  */

/* This is just a string manipulation function; it does not manipulate

   LIST is in the format

   ATTRNAME NAMEVALSEP ATTRVAL {ENTSEP ATTRNAME NAMEVALSEP ATTRVAL}

   And we want to put in an attribute with name NAME and value VAL,
   replacing the already-present attribute with name NAME if there is
   one.  Or if VAL is NULL remove attribute NAME.  Return a new
   malloc'd list; don't muck with the one passed in.  If we are removing
   the last attribute return NULL.  LIST can be NULL to mean that we
   started out without any attributes.

   Examples:

   fileattr_modify ("abc=def", "xxx", "val", '=', ';')) => "abc=def;xxx=val"
   fileattr_modify ("abc=def", "abc", "val", '=', ';')) => "abc=val"
   fileattr_modify ("abc=v1;def=v2", "abc", "val", '=', ';'))
     => "abc=val;def=v2"
   fileattr_modify ("abc=v1;def=v2", "def", "val", '=', ';'))
     => "abc=v1;def=val"
   fileattr_modify ("abc=v1;def=v2", "xxx", "val", '=', ';'))
     => "abc=v1;def=v2;xxx=val"
   fileattr_modify ("abc=v1;def=v2;ghi=v3", "def", "val", '=', ';'))
