Detailed Description

A test program for the produtil.fileop.deliver_file() function.

This program provides access to the produtil.fileop.deliver_file() function to shell programs. It was originally used to test that function, but it can also be used in scripts for other purposes. It is called as follows:

[.sh]
 hwrf_deliver.py [options] [--] fromfile tofile

It will copy the fromfile to the tofile file or directory without leaving the destination file in an incomplete state. This is accomplished by copying to a temporary file in the same directory and renaming that file to the final filename. If requested, a simple move (like "mv") is done if possible.

Options:

• -v — verbose; use more -v for higher verbosity
• -m — move the file instead of copying it, if possible. This may not be possible if the source and destination are in different filesystems or filesets.
• -c — verify: check to see if the temporary and original file have the same contents before renaming to the destination
• -b bytes — copy this many bytes at a time
• -t template — template to prefix to tempoarary filenames
• -k — keep the temporary file if the rename fails
• – (two hyphens) — Terminate option processing. This is needed for "misbehaving" filenames that begin with a hyphen
