NAME

       SVN::Dump::Record - A SVN dump record

SYNOPSIS

	   # SVN::Dump::Record objects are returns by the next_record()
	   # method of SVN::Dump

DESCRIPTION

       An "SVN::Dump::Record" object represents a Subversion dump record.

METHODS

       "SVN::Dump" provides the following gourps of methods:

       Record methods

       new()
	   Create a new empty "SVN::Dump::Record" object.

       type()
	   Return the record type, as guessed from its headers.

	   The method dies if the record type cannot be determined.

       set_header( $h, $v )
	   Set the header $h to the value $v.

       get_header( $h )
	   Get the value of header $h.

       set_property( $p, $v )
	   Set the property $p to the value $v.

       get_property( $p )
	   Get the value of property $p.

       delete_property( @k )
	   Delete the

       set_text( $t )
	   Set the value of the text block.

       get_text()
	   Get the value of the text block.

       Inner blocks manipulation

       A "SVN::Dump::Record" is composed of several inner blocks of various kinds: "SVN::Dump::Headers", "SVN::Dump::Property" and
       "SVN::Dump::Text".

       The following methods provide access to these blocks:

       set_headers_block( $headers )
       get_headers_block()
	   Get or set the "SVN::Dump::Headers" object that represents the record headers.

       set_property_block( $property )
       get_property_block()
	   Get or set the "SVN::Dump::Property" object that represents the record property block.

       delete_property( @keys )
	   Delete the given properties. Behave like the builtin "delete()".

       set_text_block( $text )
       get_text_block()
	   Get or set the "SVN::Dump::Text" object that represents the record text block.

       set_included_record( $record )
       get_included_record()
	   Some special record are actually output recursiveley by svnadmin dump.  The "record in the record" is stored within the parent record,
	   so they are parsed as a single record with an included record.

	   "get_record()" / "set_record()" give access to the included record.

	   According to the Subversion sources (subversion/libsvn_repos/dump.c), this is a "delete original, then add-with-history" node. The dump
	   looks like this:

	       Node-path: tags/mytag/myfile
	       Node-kind: file
	       Node-action: delete

	       Node-path: tags/mytag/myfile
	       Node-kind: file
	       Node-action: add
	       Node-copyfrom-rev: 23
	       Node-copyfrom-path: trunk/myfile

	   Note that there is a single blank line after the first header block, and four after the included one.

       update_headers()
	   Update the various "...-length" headers. Used internally.

	   You must call this method if you update the inner property or text blocks directly, or the results of "as_string()" will be
	   inconsistent.

       Information methods

       has_prop()
	   Return a boolean value indicating if the record has a property block.

       has_text()
	   Return a boolean value indicating if the record has a text block.

       has_prop_only()
	   Return a boolean value indicating if the record has only a property block (and no text block).

       has_prop_or_text()
	   Return a boolean value indicating if the record has a property block or a text block.

       property_length()
	   Return the length of the property block.

       text_length()
	   Return the length of the text block.

       Output method

       as_string()
	   Return a string representation of the record.

	   Warning: dumping a record currenly gives back the information that was read from the original dump. Which means that if you modified
	   the property or text block of a record, the headers will be inconstent.

ENCAPSULATION

       When using "SVN::Dump" to manipulate a SVN dump, one should not directly access the "SVN::Dump::Headers", "SVN::Dump::Property" and
       "SVN::Dump::Text" components of a "SVN::Dump::Record" object, but use the appropriate "set_...()" and "get_...()" methods of the record
       object.

       These methods compute the appropriate modifications of the header values, so that the "as_string()" method outputs the correct information
       after any modification of the record.
