native::Wc(3)

💅 native::Wc(3) — the Perl user-contributed docs for SVN::Wc 💅

okay bestie, so this is native::Wc(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, and it's literally all about SVN::Wc — the Subversion working copy functions. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

SVN::Wc — Subversion working copy functions 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Incomplete 🙈

yeah… that's it. that's the synopsis. she's mysterious, she's giving "we'll finish it later", no cap.

---

🌸 FUNCTIONS 🌸

• SVN::Wc::parse_externals_description3($parent_directory, $desc, $canonicalize_url, $pool); — parses the string $desc as an "svn:externals" value and hands you back a reference to an array of _p_svn_wc_external_item2_t objects. if $canonicalize_url is true, it canonicalizes the "url" member of those objects. and $parent_directory? she's only there to help construct error strings. iconic, lowkey a background character 🎀

👑 OBJECTS 👑

🦋 svn_wc_status2_t

• $wcstat->entry() — a svn_wc_entry_t object for the item. can be undef if it's not under version control. 💀
• $wcstat->text_status() — an integer for the status of the item's text. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.
• $wcstat->prop_status() — an integer for the status of the item's properties. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.
• $wcstat->locked() — a boolean telling if the item is locked. a directory can be locked if a working copy update was interrupted. 😭
• $wcstat->copied() — a boolean telling if the item was copied. a file or directory can be copied if it's scheduled for addition-with-history (or part of a subtree that is scheduled as such).
• $wcstat->switched() — a boolean telling if the item was switched. a file or directory can be switched if the switch command has been used.
• $wcstat->repos_text_status() — an integer for the status of the item's text in the repository. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.
• $wcstat->repos_prop_status() — an integer for the status of the item's properties in the repository. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.
• $wcstat->repos_lock() — a svn_lock_t object representing the entry's lock in the repository, if any.
• $wcstat->url() — the url (actual or expected) of the item.
• $wcstat->ood_last_cmt_rev() — an integer for the youngest committed revision, or $SVN::Core::INVALID_REVNUM if not out of date.
• $wcstat->ood_last_cmt_date() — the date of the most recent commit as microseconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 UTC, or 0 if not out of date.
• $wcstat->ood_kind() — an integer for the kind of the youngest commit. can be any of the $SVN::Node::* constants. will be $SVN::Node::none if not out of date.
• $wcstat->tree_conflict() — a svn_wc_conflict_description_t object if the entry is the victim of a tree conflict, or undef. 🫶
• $wcstat->file_external() — a boolean telling if the item is a file that was added to the working copy as an svn:externals. if file_external is TRUE, then switched is always FALSE. the way those two can never both be true… periodt.
• $wcstat->pristine_text_status() — an integer for the status of the item's text as compared to the pristine base of the file. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.
• $wcstat->pristine_prop_status() — an integer for the status of the item's properties as compared to the pristine base of the node. can be one of the $SVN::Wc::Status::* constants.

🌈 svn_wc_status_t

same as svn_wc_status2_t, but without the repos_lock, url, ood_last_cmt_rev, ood_last_cmt_date, ood_kind, ood_last_cmt_author, tree_conflict, file_external, pristine_text_status, pristine_prop_status fields.

it's giving "same girl, smaller closet". 🎀

💜 svn_wc_entry_t

• $wcent->name() — entry's name.
• $wcent->revision() — base revision.
• $wcent->url() — URL in repository.
• $wcent->repos() — canonical repository URL.
• $wcent->uuid() — repository uuid.
• $wcent->kind() — the kind of node. one of the following constants: $SVN::Node::none, $SVN::Node::file, $SVN::Node::dir, $SVN::Node::unknown.
• $wcent->schedule() — scheduling. one of the SVN::Wc::Schedule::* constants.
• $wcent->copied() — in a copied state.
• $wcent->deleted() — deleted, but parent rev lags behind.
• $wcent->absent() — absent — we know an entry of this name exists, but that's all (usually this happens because of authz restrictions).
• $wcent->incomplete() — for THIS_DIR entry, implies whole entries file is incomplete.
• $wcent->copyfrom_url() — copyfrom location.
• $wcent->copyfrom_rev() — copyfrom revision.
• $wcent->conflict_old() — old version of conflicted file.
• $wcent->conflict_new() — new version of conflicted file.
• $wcent->conflict_wrk() — working version of conflicted file.
• $wcent->prejfile() — property reject file.
• $wcent->text_time() — last up-to-date time for text contents (0 means no information available).
• $wcent->prop_time() — last up-to-date time for properties (0 means no information available).
• $wcent->checksum() — base-64 encoded checksum for the untranslated text base file, can be undef for backwards compatibility.
• $wcent->cmt_rev() — last revision this was changed.
• $wcent->cmt_date() — last date this was changed.
• $wcent->cmt_author() — last commit author of this item.

✨ svn_wc_external_item2_t

• $ext->target_dir() — the name of the subdirectory into which this external should be checked out. this is relative to the parent directory that holds this external item.
• $ext->url() — where to check out from. this is possibly a relative external URL, as allowed in externals definitions, but without the peg revision.
• $ext->revision() — what revision to check out, a svn_opt_revision_t object. the only valid kind()s for this are $SVN::Core::opt_revision_number, $SVN::Core::opt_revision_date, and $SVN::Core::opt_revision_head.
• $ext->peg_revision() — the peg revision to use when checking out, a svn_opt_revision_t object. the only valid kind()s for this are $SVN::Core::opt_revision_number, $SVN::Core::opt_revision_date, and $SVN::Core::opt_revision_head.

that's the whole page, bestie — every field, every constant, every license line, untouched. you're now officially the main character of Subversion working copies. 👑✨

this lil love letter was rendered by perl v5.42.3 on 2026-10-16, and it's still signed native::Wc(3) at heart. mwah 💋
