Function Documentation

def copyright.get_update_list

(

)

Return the list of files to update.

Assumes that the current working directory when called is the root
of the GDB source tree (NOT the gdb/ subdirectory!).  The names of
the files are relative to that root directory.

Definition at line 39 of file copyright.py.

def copyright.main

(

)

The main subprogram.

def copyright.may_have_copyright_notice

(

filename

)

Check that the given file does not seem to have a copyright notice.

The filename is relative to the root directory.
This function assumes that the current working directory is that root
directory.

The algorigthm is fairly crude, meaning that it might return
some false positives.  I do not think it will return any false
negatives...  We might improve this function to handle more
complex cases later...

def copyright.update_files

(

update_list

)

Update the copyright header of the files in the given list.

We use gnulib's update-copyright script for that.
