   5  * gitattributes mechanism gives a uniform way to associate various attributes
   6  * to set of paths.
   7  *
   8  *
   9  * Querying Specific Attributes
  10  * ----------------------------
  11  *
  12  * - Prepare `struct attr_check` using attr_check_initl() function, enumerating
  13  *   the names of attributes whose values you are interested in, terminated with
  14  *   a NULL pointer.  Alternatively, an empty `struct attr_check` can be
  15  *   prepared by calling `attr_check_alloc()` function and then attributes you
  16  *   want to ask about can be added to it with `attr_check_append()` function.
  17  *
  18  * - Call `git_check_attr()` to check the attributes for the path.
  19  *
  20  * - Inspect `attr_check` structure to see how each of the attribute in the
  21  *   array is defined for the path.
  22  *
  23  *
  24  * Example
  25  * -------
  26  *
  27  * To see how attributes "crlf" and "ident" are set for different paths.
  28  *
  29  * - Prepare a `struct attr_check` with two elements (because we are checking
  30  *   two attributes):
  31  *
  32  * ------------
  33  * static struct attr_check *check;
  34  * static void setup_check(void)
  35  * {
  36  *      if (check)
  37  *              return; // already done
  38  * check = attr_check_initl("crlf", "ident", NULL);
  39  * }
  40  * ------------
  41  *
  42  * - Call `git_check_attr()` with the prepared `struct attr_check`:
  43  *
  44  * ------------
  45  * const char *path;
  46  *
  47  * setup_check();
  48  * git_check_attr(path, check);
  49  * ------------
  50  *
  51  * - Act on `.value` member of the result, left in `check->items[]`:
  52  *
  53  * ------------
  54  * const char *value = check->items[0].value;
  55  *
  56  * if (ATTR_TRUE(value)) {
  57  * The attribute is Set, by listing only the name of the
  58  * attribute in the gitattributes file for the path.
  59  * } else if (ATTR_FALSE(value)) {
  60  * The attribute is Unset, by listing the name of the
  61  *         attribute prefixed with a dash - for the path.
  62  * } else if (ATTR_UNSET(value)) {
  63  * The attribute is neither set nor unset for the path.
  64  * } else if (!strcmp(value, "input")) {
  65  * If none of ATTR_TRUE(), ATTR_FALSE(), or ATTR_UNSET() is
  66  *         true, the value is a string set in the gitattributes
  67  * file for the path by saying "attr=value".
  68  * } else if (... other check using value as string ...) {
  69  * ...
  70  * }
  71  * ------------
  72  *
  73  * To see how attributes in argv[] are set for different paths, only
  74  * the first step in the above would be different.
  75  *
  76  * ------------
  77  * static struct attr_check *check;
  78  * static void setup_check(const char **argv)
  79  * {
  80  *     check = attr_check_alloc();
  81  *     while (*argv) {
  82  *         struct git_attr *attr = git_attr(*argv);
  83  *         attr_check_append(check, attr);
  84  *         argv++;
  85  *     }
  86  * }
  87  * ------------
  88  *
  89  *
  90  * Querying All Attributes
  91  * -----------------------
  92  *
  93  * To get the values of all attributes associated with a file:
  94  *
  95  * - Prepare an empty `attr_check` structure by calling `attr_check_alloc()`.
  96  *
  97  * - Call `git_all_attrs()`, which populates the `attr_check` with the
  98  * attributes attached to the path.
  99  *
 100  * - Iterate over the `attr_check.items[]` array to examine the attribute
 101  * names and values. The name of the attribute described by an
 102  * `attr_check.items[]` object can be retrieved via
 103  * `git_attr_name(check->items[i].attr)`. (Please note that no items will be
 104  * returned for unset attributes, so `ATTR_UNSET()` will return false for all
 105  * returned `attr_check.items[]` objects.)
 106  *
 107  * - Free the `attr_check` struct by calling `attr_check_free()`.
