3. Blob

3.1. blob_create_fromdisk

parameters	Returns
luagit2_repository	luagit2_oid
path_to_blob(string)

1. luagit2_repository : The repository to look into for the given blob.
2. path_to_blob : the path to the blob in repository .

Note

The path should be relative to current path, which may or may not inside the directory.

• Creates a luagit2_oid from blob’s path.

3.2. blob_create_fromworkdir

parameters	Returns
luagit2_repository	luagit2_oid
path_to_blob(string)

1. luagit2_repository : The repository to look into for the given blob.
2. path_to_blob : the path to the blob in repository.

Note

The path should be relative to root directory of repository. Prefer this method over blob_create_fromdisk while creating blob using its path and not oid.

• Creates a luagit2_oid from blob’s path.

3.3. blob_filtered_content

parameters	Returns
luagit2_blob	luagit2_buf
path_to_blob(string)
check_for_binary_data(int)

1. luagit2_blob : The luagit2_blob whose content to look for .
2. path_to_blob : the path to the blob in repository.
3. check_for_binary_data : integer value of bool whether to check or not for filtered content.

Note

The path should be relative to root directory of repository.

• Creates a luagit2_buf from blob’s Content, can be read using buf_details().
