Detailed Description

Function Documentation

svn_error_t* svn_client_cat	(	svn_stream_t *	out,
		const char *	path_or_url,
		const svn_opt_revision_t *	revision,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Similar to svn_client_cat2() except that the peg revision is always the same as revision.

Deprecated:

Provided for backward compatibility with the 1.1 API.

svn_error_t* svn_client_cat2	(	svn_stream_t *	out,
		const char *	path_or_url,
		const svn_opt_revision_t *	peg_revision,
		const svn_opt_revision_t *	revision,
		svn_client_ctx_t *	ctx,
		apr_pool_t *	pool
	)

Output the content of a file.

Parameters

[in]	out	The stream to which the content will be written.
[in]	path_or_url	The path or URL of the file.
[in]	peg_revision	The peg revision.
[in]	revision	The operative revision.
[in]	ctx	The standard client context, used for possible authentication.
[in]	pool	Used for any temporary allocation.

Todo:

Add an expansion/translation flag?

Returns

A pointer to an svn_error_t of the type (this list is not exhaustive):
An unspecified error if revision is of kind svn_opt_revision_previous (or some other kind that requires a local path), because the desired revision cannot be determined.
If no error occurred, return SVN_NO_ERROR.

Since

New in 1.2.
