find_GHurls
Retrieve unique URLs to every function’s location within the package’s GitHub repository.
find_GHurls requires two input arguments, pkgurl, a char string
with the URL to the root directory to the package’s GitHub repository and
pkgfcns, a Nx2 cell array containing the package’s available functions
(1st column) and their respective category (2nd column).
Note: find_GHurls explicitly works with repositories hosted on GitHub!
pkgurl can be easily retrieved from the PKG_URL field of the
info structure returned from package_texi2html.
find_GHurls returns a cell array, pkgfcns, by appending a third
column to the input pkgfcns with the URLs to the source code location
of each individual function listed in the 1st column of pkgfcns.
find_GHurls relies on curl and tar, which must be
installed and available to the system’s $PATH, and an active internet
connection to download and extract the targeted repository to a temporary
directory. If either curl or tar fail for any reason,
find_GHurls returns a verbatim copy of the input pkgfcns.
Use the following example to obtain a cell array with each function’s URL to its source code location at GitHub:
[pkgfcns, info] = package_texi2html ("pkg-octave-doc");
pkgfcns = find_GHurls (info.PKG_URL, pkgfcns);
