HXCOPY(1) HTML-XML-utils HXCOPY(1) NAME
hxcopy - copy an HTML file and update its relative links SYNOPSIS
hxcopy [ -i old-URL ] [ -o new-URL ] [ file-or-URL [ file-or-URL ] ] DESCRIPTION
The hxcopy command copies its first argument to its second argument, while updating relative links. The input is assumed to be HTML or XHTML and may be slightly reformatted in the process. If the second argument is omitted, hxcopy writes to standard output. In this case the option -o is required. If the first argument is also omitted, hxcopy reads from standard input. In this case the option -i is required. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -i old-URL For the purposes of updating relative links, act as if old-URL is the location from which the input is copied. If this option is omitted, the actual location of the first argument is used for calculating relative links. -o new-URL For the purposed of updating relative links, act as if new-URL is the location to which the input is copied. If this option is omitted, the actual location of the second argument is used for calculating relative links. ENVIRONMENT
To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy. E.g., http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/" BUGS
Unlike the last argument of cp(1), the last argument of hxcopy must be a file, not a directory. The second argument must be a local file. Writing to a URL is not yet implemented. To work around this, replace hxcopy file.html http://example.org/file.html by hxcopy -o http://example.org/file.html file.html tmp.html and then upload tmp.html to the given URL with some other command, such as curl(1). The first argument, however, may be a URL. hxcopy will download the given file. (Currently only HTTP is supported.) EXAMPLE
Assume the HTML file foo.html contains a relative link to "../bar.html". Here are some examples of commands: hxcopy foo.html bar/foo.html The file foo.html is copied to ../bar/foo.html and the relative link to "../bar.html" becomes "../../bar.html". hxcopy foo.html ../foo.html The file foo.html is copied to ../foo.html and the relative link to "../bar.html" is rewritten as "bar.html". hxcopy -i http://my.org/dir1/foo.html -o http://my.org/foo.html file1.html file2.html The file file1.html is copied to file2.html and the relative link to "../bar.html" is rewritten as "bar.html". A command like this may be useful to update files that are later uploaded to a server. SEE ALSO

Template::Plugin::File - Plugin providing information about files SYNOPSIS
[% USE File(filepath) %] [% File.path %] # full path [% File.name %] # filename [% File.dir %] # directory DESCRIPTION
This plugin provides an abstraction of a file. It can be used to fetch details about files from the file system, or to represent abstract files (e.g. when creating an index page) that may or may not exist on a file system. A file name or path should be specified as a constructor argument. e.g. [% USE File('foo.html') %] [% USE File('foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% USE File('/foo/bar/baz.html') %] The file should exist on the current file system (unless "nostat" option set, see below) as an absolute file when specified with as leading '"/"' as per '"/foo/bar/baz.html"', or otherwise as one relative to the current working directory. The constructor performs a "stat()" on the file and makes the 13 elements returned available as the plugin items: dev ino mode nlink uid gid rdev size atime mtime ctime blksize blocks e.g. [% USE File('/foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% File.mtime %] [% File.mode %] ... In addition, the "user" and "group" items are set to contain the user and group names as returned by calls to "getpwuid()" and "getgrgid()" for the file "uid" and "gid" elements, respectively. On Win32 platforms on which "getpwuid()" and "getgrid()" are not available, these values are undefined. [% USE File('/tmp/foo.html') %] [% File.uid %] # e.g. 500 [% File.user %] # e.g. abw This user/group lookup can be disabled by setting the "noid" option. [% USE File('/tmp/foo.html', noid=1) %] [% File.uid %] # e.g. 500 [% File.user %] # nothing The "isdir" flag will be set if the file is a directory. [% USE File('/tmp') %] [% File.isdir %] # 1 If the "stat()" on the file fails (e.g. file doesn't exists, bad permission, etc) then the constructor will throw a "File" exception. This can be caught within a "TRY...CATCH" block. [% TRY %] [% USE File('/tmp/myfile') %] File exists! [% CATCH File %] File error: [% error.info %] [% END %] Note the capitalisation of the exception type, '"File"', to indicate an error thrown by the "File" plugin, to distinguish it from a regular "file" exception thrown by the Template Toolkit. Note that the "File" plugin can also be referenced by the lower case name '"file"'. However, exceptions are always thrown of the "File" type, regardless of the capitalisation of the plugin named used. [% USE file('foo.html') %] [% file.mtime %] As with any other Template Toolkit plugin, an alternate name can be specified for the object created. [% USE foo = file('foo.html') %] [% foo.mtime %] The "nostat" option can be specified to prevent the plugin constructor from performing a "stat()" on the file specified. In this case, the file does not have to exist in the file system, no attempt will be made to verify that it does, and no error will be thrown if it doesn't. The entries for the items usually returned by "stat()" will be set empty. [% USE file('/some/where/over/the/rainbow.html', nostat=1) [% file.mtime %] # nothing METHODS
All "File" plugins, regardless of the "nostat" option, have set a number of items relating to the original path specified. path The full, original file path specified to the constructor. [% USE file('/foo/bar.html') %] [% file.path %] # /foo/bar.html name The name of the file without any leading directories. [% USE file('/foo/bar.html') %] [% file.name %] # bar.html dir The directory element of the path with the filename removed. [% USE file('/foo/bar.html') %] [% file.name %] # /foo ext The file extension, if any, appearing at the end of the path following a '"."' (not included in the extension). [% USE file('/foo/bar.html') %] [% file.ext %] # html home This contains a string of the form '"../.."' to represent the upward path from a file to its root directory. [% USE file('bar.html') %] [% file.home %] # nothing [% USE file('foo/bar.html') %] [% file.home %] # .. [% USE file('foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% file.home %] # ../.. root The "root" item can be specified as a constructor argument, indicating a root directory in which the named file resides. This is otherwise set empty. [% USE file('foo/bar.html', root='/tmp') %] [% file.root %] # /tmp abs This returns the absolute file path by constructing a path from the "root" and "path" options. [% USE file('foo/bar.html', root='/tmp') %] [% file.path %] # foo/bar.html [% file.root %] # /tmp [% file.abs %] # /tmp/foo/bar.html rel(path) This returns a relative path from the current file to another path specified as an argument. It is constructed by appending the path to the '"home"' item. [% USE file('foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% file.rel('wiz/waz.html') %] # ../../wiz/waz.html EXAMPLES
[% USE file('/foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% file.path %] # /foo/bar/baz.html [% file.dir %] # /foo/bar [% file.name %] # baz.html [% file.home %] # ../.. [% file.root %] # '' [% file.abs %] # /foo/bar/baz.html [% file.ext %] # html [% file.mtime %] # 987654321 [% file.atime %] # 987654321 [% file.uid %] # 500 [% file.user %] # abw [% USE file('foo.html') %] [% file.path %] # foo.html [% file.dir %] # '' [% file.name %] # foo.html [% file.root %] # '' [% file.home %] # '' [% file.abs %] # foo.html [% USE file('foo/bar/baz.html') %] [% file.path %] # foo/bar/baz.html [% file.dir %] # foo/bar [% file.name %] # baz.html [% file.root %] # '' [% file.home %] # ../..

[% file.abs %] # /tmp/foo/bar/baz.html # calculate other file paths relative to this file and its root [% USE file('foo/bar/baz.html', root => '/tmp/tt2') %] [% file.path('baz/qux.html') %] # ../../baz/qux.html [% file.dir('wiz/woz.html') %] # ../../wiz/woz.html AUTHORS
Michael Stevens wrote the original "Directory" plugin on which this is based. Andy Wardley split it into separate "File" and "Directory" plugins, added some extra code and documentation for "VIEW" support, and made a few other minor tweaks. COPYRIGHT
