The most common use of this eclass is for manipulation of +the \fB${PV}\fR variable (and saving the result in a variable such as +\fB${MY_PV}\fR). +.SH FUNCTIONS +\fBNOTE\fR: the following functions all operate on a version string (denoted +as \fIPV\fR in this manual page), which defaults to \fB${PV}\fR if omitted. +See the eclass for example version strings and their respective results. +.TP +.B get_all_version_components \fI< PV >\fR +Splits PV into its component parts. +.TP +.B get_version_components \fI< PV >\fR +Splits PV into its component parts, ignoring '.', '-', and '_'. +.TP +.B get_major_version \fI< PV >\fR +Retrieves major version from PV. +.TP +.B get_version_component_range \fI[ RANGE ] < PV >\fR +Retrieves a component or range of components, RANGE, from PV. RANGE may be +a single number for a particular component, a range such as 1-2 for a range +of components, or a range such as 2- for that component and everything after it. +.TP +.B get_after_major_version \fI< PV >\fR +Retrieves everything after the major version and its separator (if present). +.TP +.B replace_version_separator \fI[ N ] [ SEP ] < PV >\fR +Replaces the Nth separator of PV with separator, SEP. If N is a character +literal (eg. '-'), the first separator of this kind is replaced. +.TP +.B replace_all_version_separators \fI[ SEP ] < PV >\fR +Replaces all version separators in PV with separator, SEP. +.TP +.B delete_version_separator \fI[ N ] < PV >\fR +Deletes the Nth separator of PV.
