AFNI program: afni_history
Output of -help
afni_history: show AFNI updates per user, dates or levels
This program is meant to display a log of updates to AFNI code, the
website, educational material, etc. Users can specify a level of
importance, the author, program or how recent the changes are.
The levels of importance go from 1 to 4, with meanings:
1 - users would not care
2 - of little importance, though some users might care
3 - fairly important
4 - a big change or new program
5 - IMPORTANT: we expect users to know
-----------------------------------------------------------------
common examples:
0. get help
a. afni_history -help
1. display all of the history, possibly subject to recent days/entries
a. afni_history
b. afni_history -past_days 5
c. afni_history -past_months 6
d. afni_history -past_entries 1
2. select a specific type, level or minimum level
a. afni_history -level 2
b. afni_history -min_level 3 -type BUG_FIX
c. afni_history -type 1 -min_level 3 -past_years 1
3. select a specific author or program
a. afni_history -author rickr
b. afni_history -program afni_proc.py
display the past year of updates for rickr, sorted by program name...
c. afni_history -author rickr -past_days 365 -final_sort_by_prog
4. select level 3+ suma updates from ziad over the past year
a. afni_history -author ziad -min_level 3 -program suma
5. generate a web-page, maybe from the past year at at a minimum level
a. afni_history -html -reverse > afni_hist_all.html
b. afni_history -html -reverse -min_level 2 > afni_hist_level2.html
c. afni_history -html -reverse -min_level 3 > afni_hist_level3.html
d. afni_history -html -reverse -min_level 4 > afni_hist_level4.html
5. verify that the distribution is new enough
Compare the most recent history entry against the passed date. If
there is a history entry as recent as the given date, it is current.
Otherwise, the distribution is considered old.
a. afni_history -check_date 1 1 2010
b. afni_history -check_date 15 Mar 2050
6. show particular fields
a. show the program name for the most recent 10 entries
afni_history -show_field program 10
b. show the program name for the most recent 10 NEW_PROG entries
afni_history -type NEW_PROG -show_field program 10
c. show the authors of the past 10 BUG_FIX entries
afni_history -type BUG_FIX -show_field author 10
d. show all unique program fields, sorted
afni_history -show_field program | sort | uniq
e. show all unique program fields of NEW_PROG entries, sorted
afni_history -show_field program -type NEW_PROG | sort | uniq
f. list FIELD parameters available for use with -show_field
afni_history -show_field_names
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------ informational options: -----------------------
-help : show this help
-hist : show this program's history
-list_authors : show the list of valid authors
-list_types : show the list of valid change types
-ver : show this program's version
------------------ output restriction options: ------------------
-author AUTHOR : restrict output to the given AUTHOR
-level LEVEL : restrict output to the given LEVEL
-min_level LEVEL : restrict output to at least level LEVEL
-program PROGRAM : restrict output to the given PROGRAM
-past_entries ENTRIES : restrict output to final ENTRIES entries
-past_days DAYS : restrict output to the past DAYS days
-past_months MONTHS : restrict output to the past MONTHS months
-past_years YEARS : restrict output to the past YEARS years
-type TYPE : restrict output to the given TYPE
(TYPE = 0..5, or strings 'NEW_PROG', etc.)
e.g. -type NEW_ENV
e.g. -type BUG_FIX
------------------ verification options: ------------------------
-check_date DD MM YYYY : check history against given date
If most recent afni_history is older than the passed date, the
distribution version might be considered out of date. Otherwise, it
might be considered current.
If the version seems okay, afni_history returns 0, else 1.
That way a script can check the status.
------------------ general options: -----------------------------
-html : add html formatting
-dline : put a divider line between dates
-reverse : reverse the sorting order
(sort is by date, author, level, program)
-show_field FIELD : restrict entry output to field FIELD
For each history entry printed in the output restrict the output
to only that implied by FIELD.
Valid FIELDs include:
FIELD : what to show
---------- ----------------------------------------
all : all fields (same as without -show_field)
firstline : only the standard first line
day : day of month
month : month of year
year : year of calendar system
date : year, month, day
author : author
program : program
level : level
type : type
desc : description
verbtext : verbtext
Only one -field option is allowed at the moment.
Valid FIELD values can be shown by
afni_history -show_field_names
-show_field_names : list valid FIELD names for -show_field
Each entry in the output list can be passed to -show_field
-verb LEVEL : request verbose output
(LEVEL is from 0-6)
