<span id="index-history-expansion"></span>
|
|
|
|
<p>The History library provides a history expansion feature that is similar
|
|
to the history expansion provided by <code>csh</code>. This section
|
|
describes the syntax used to manipulate the history information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>History expansions introduce words from the history list into
|
|
the input stream, making it easy to repeat commands, insert the
|
|
arguments to a previous command into the current input line, or
|
|
fix errors in previous commands quickly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>History expansion takes place in two parts. The first is to determine
|
|
which line from the history list should be used during substitution.
|
|
The second is to select portions of that line for inclusion into the
|
|
current one. The line selected from the history is called the
|
|
<em>event</em>, and the portions of that line that are acted upon are
|
|
called <em>words</em>. Various <em>modifiers</em> are available to manipulate
|
|
the selected words. The line is broken into words in the same fashion
|
|
that Bash does, so that several words
|
|
surrounded by quotes are considered one word.
|
|
History expansions are introduced by the appearance of the
|
|
history expansion character, which is ‘<samp>!</samp>’ by default.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>History expansion implements shell-like quoting conventions:
|
|
a backslash can be used to remove the special handling for the next character;
|
|
single quotes enclose verbatim sequences of characters, and can be used to
|
|
inhibit history expansion;
|
|
and characters enclosed within double quotes may be subject to history
|
|
expansion, since backslash can escape the history expansion character,
|
|
but single quotes may not, since they are not treated specially within
|
|
double quotes.

|
|
|
|
<p>Word designators are used to select desired words from the event.
|
|
A ‘<samp>:</samp>’ separates the event specification from the word designator. It
|
|
may be omitted if the word designator begins with a ‘<samp>^</samp>’, ‘<samp>$</samp>’,
|
|
‘<samp>*</samp>’, ‘<samp>-</samp>’, or ‘<samp>%</samp>’. Words are numbered from the beginning
|
|
of the line, with the first word being denoted by 0 (zero). Words are
|
|
inserted into the current line separated by single spaces.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><span><code>!!</code></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>designates the preceding command. When you type this, the preceding
|
|
command is repeated in toto.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><span><code>!!:$</code></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>designates the last argument of the preceding command. This may be
|
|
shortened to <code>!$</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt><span><code>!fi:2</code></span></dt>
|

<dd><p>designates the second argument of the most recent command starting with

|
the letters <code>fi</code>.
|

</p></dd>

<dt><span><code><var>x</var>-<var>y</var></code></span></dt>

|
|
<dt><span><code>*</code></span></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>All of the words, except the <code>0</code>th. This is a synonym for ‘<samp>1-$</samp>’.

It is not an error to use ‘<samp>*</samp>’ if there is just one word in the event;

the empty string is returned in that case.

</p>
|
|
</dd>
|

<dt><span><code><var>x</var>*</code></span></dt>

<p>If a word designator is supplied without an event specification, the

|
|
|
|
<p>Many programs read input from the user a line at a time. The <small>GNU</small>
|
|
History library is able to keep track of those lines, associate arbitrary
|
|
data with each line, and utilize information from previous lines in
|
|
composing new ones.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A programmer using the History library has available functions
|
|
for remembering lines on a history list, associating arbitrary data
|
|
with a line, removing lines from the list, searching through the list
|
|
for a line containing an arbitrary text string, and referencing any line
|
|
in the list directly. In addition, a history <em>expansion</em> function
|
|
is available which provides for a consistent user interface across
|
|
different programs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The user using programs written with the History library has the
|
|
benefit of a consistent user interface with a set of well-known
|
|
commands for manipulating the text of previous lines and using that text
|
|
in new commands. The basic history manipulation commands are similar to
|
|
the history substitution provided by <code>csh</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The programmer can also use the Readline library, which
|
|
includes some history manipulation by default, and has the added
|
|
advantage of command line editing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Before declaring any functions using any functionality the History
|
|
library provides in other code, an application writer should include
|
|
the file <code><readline/history.h></code> in any file that uses the
|
|
History library’s features. It supplies extern declarations for all
|
|
of the library’s public functions and variables, and declares all of
|
|
the public data structures.

<p>The history list is an array of history entries. A history entry is
|
|
declared as follows:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">typedef void *histdata_t;
|
|
|
|
typedef struct _hist_entry {
|
|
char *line;
|
|
char *timestamp;
|
|
histdata_t data;
|
|
} HIST_ENTRY;
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The history list itself might therefore be declared as
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">HIST_ENTRY **the_history_list;
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The state of the History library is encapsulated into a single structure:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
|
|
<pre class="example">/*
|
|
* A structure used to pass around the current state of the history.
|
|
*/
|
|
typedef struct _hist_state {
|
|
HIST_ENTRY **entries; /* Pointer to the entries themselves. */
|
|
int offset; /* The location pointer within this array. */
|
|
int length; /* Number of elements within this array. */
|
|
int size; /* Number of slots allocated to this array. */
|
|
int flags;
|
|
} HISTORY_STATE;
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the flags member includes <code>HS_STIFLED</code>, the history has been
|
|
stifled.

<li> PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
<p>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
|
functional and useful document <em>free</em> in the sense of freedom: to
|
|
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
|
|
with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
|
|
Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
|
|
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
|
|
for modifications made by others.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative
|
|
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
|
|
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
|
|
license designed for free software.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
|
|
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
|
|
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
|
|
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
|
|
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
|
|
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
|
|
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
|
|
|
<p>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
|
|
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
|
|
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
|
|
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
|
|
work under the conditions stated herein. The “Document”, below,
|
|
refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
|
|
licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if you
|
|
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
|
|
under copyright law.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the
|
|
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
|
|
modifications and/or translated into another language.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section
|
|
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
|
|
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall
|
|
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
|
|
directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
|
|
part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
|
|
any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
|
|
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
|
|
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
|
|
them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
|
|
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
|
|
that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
|
|
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
|
|
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
|
|
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
|
|
Sections then there are none.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed,
|
|
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
|
|
the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
|
|
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
|
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
|
|
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
|
|
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
|
|
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
|
|
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
|
|
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
|
|
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
|
|
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
|
|
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
|
|
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
|
|
of text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
|
|
<small>ASCII</small> without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
|
|
format, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or <acronym>XML</acronym> using a publicly available
|
|
<acronym>DTD</acronym>, and standard-conforming simple <acronym>HTML</acronym>,
|
|
PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> designed for human modification. Examples
|
|
of transparent image formats include <acronym>PNG</acronym>, <acronym>XCF</acronym> and
|
|
<acronym>JPG</acronym>. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
|
|
read and edited only by proprietary word processors, <acronym>SGML</acronym> or
|
|
<acronym>XML</acronym> for which the <acronym>DTD</acronym> and/or processing tools are
|
|
not generally available, and the machine-generated <acronym>HTML</acronym>,
|
|
PostScript or <acronym>PDF</acronym> produced by some word processors for
|
|
output purposes only.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
|
|
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
|
|
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
|
|
formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means
|
|
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work’s title,
|
|
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies
|
|
of the Document to the public.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose
|
|
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
|
|
text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
|
|
specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”,
|
|
“Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title”
|
|
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
|
|
section “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
|
|
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
|
|
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
|
|
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
|
|
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
|
|
no effect on the meaning of this License.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> VERBATIM COPYING
|
|
|
|
<p>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
|
|
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
|
|
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
|
|
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
|
|
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
|
|
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
|
|
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
|
|
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
|
|
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
|
|
you may publicly display copies.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
|
|
|
<p>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
|
|
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
|
|
Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
|
|
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
|
|
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
|
|
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
|
|
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
|
|
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
|
|
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
|
|
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
|
|
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
|
|
as verbatim copying in other respects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
|
|
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
|
|
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
|
|
pages.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
|
|
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
|
|
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
|
|
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
|
|
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
|
|
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
|
|
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
|
|
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
|
|
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
|
|
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
|
|
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
|
|
edition to the public.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
|
|
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
|
|
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> MODIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
<p>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
|
|
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
|
|
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
|
|
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
|
|
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
|
|
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol type="A" start="1">
|
|
<li> Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
|
|
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
|
|
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
|
|
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
|
|
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
|
|
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
|
|
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
|
|
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
|
|
unless they release you from this requirement.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
|
|
Modified Version, as the publisher.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
|
|
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
|
|
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
|
|
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
|
|
and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Include an unaltered copy of this License.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add
|
|
to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
|
|
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
|
|
there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one
|
|
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
|
|
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
|
|
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
|
|
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
|
|
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
|
|
it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section.
|
|
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
|
|
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
|
|
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve
|
|
the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
|
|
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
|
|
dedications given therein.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
|
|
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
|
|
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section
|
|
may not be included in the Modified Version.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or
|
|
to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
|
|
</li></ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
|
|
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
|
|
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
|
|
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
|
|
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice.
|
|
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains
|
|
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
|
|
parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
|
|
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
|
|
standard.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
|
|
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
|
|
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
|
|
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
|
|
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
|
|
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
|
|
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
|
|
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
|
|
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
|
|
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
|
|
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
<p>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
|
|
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
|
|
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
|
|
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
|
|
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
|
|
license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
|
|
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
|
|
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
|
|
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
|
|
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
|
|
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
|
|
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
|
|
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History”
|
|
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
|
|
“History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”,
|
|
and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all
|
|
sections Entitled “Endorsements.”
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
<p>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
|
|
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
|
|
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
|
|
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
|
|
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
|
|
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
|
|
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
|
|
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|
|
|
|
<p>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
|
|
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
|
|
distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyright
|
|
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
|
|
of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit.
|
|
When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
|
|
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
|
|
derivative works of the Document.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
|
|
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
|
|
the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on
|
|
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
|
|
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
|
|
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
|
|
aggregate.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> TRANSLATION
|
|
|
|
<p>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
|
|
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
|
|
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
|
|
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
|
|
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
|
|
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
|
|
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
|
|
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
|
|
the original English version of this License and the original versions
|
|
of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
|
|
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
|
|
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”,
|
|
“Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
|
|
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
|
|
title.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> TERMINATION
|
|
|
|
<p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
|
|
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
|
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
|
|
will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
|
|
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
|
|
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
|
|
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
|
|
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
|
|
60 days after the cessation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
|
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
|
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
|
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
|
|
your receipt of the notice.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
|
|
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
|
|
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
|
|
reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
|
|
not give you any rights to use it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li><li> FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
|
|
|
|
<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
|
|
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
|
|
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
|
|
License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
|
|
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
|
|
Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
|
|
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not

<p>“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any
|
|
World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
|
|
provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
|
|
public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
|
|
“Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the
|
|
site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
|
|
site.
|

</p>
|
|
<p>“CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
|
|
license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
|
|
corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
|
|
California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
|
|
published by that same organization.

<p>“Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
|
|
in part, as part of another Document.

</p>
|
|
<p>An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this
|
|
License, and if all works that were first published under this License
|
|
somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole
|
|
or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,
|
|
and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
|
|
under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
|
|
provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

<p>To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
|
|
the License in the document and put the following copyright and
|
|
license notices just after the title page:
|

</p>
|
|
<div class="example">
