Object Storage API
This repository contains the RESTful API information for the OpenStack Object Storage Service, also known as Swift. The Swift project provides services for object storage and retrieval as well as assigning metadata.
Prerequisites
Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later,and Debian wheezy and later:
apt-get install maven
On Fedora 15 and later:
yum install maven3
Building
The manual is in the openstack-object-storage-dev
directory.
To build a specific guide, look for a pom.xml
file
within a subdirectory, then run the mvn
command in that
directory. For example:
cd openstack-object-storage-dev
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is:
openstack-object-storage-dev/target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/os-objectstorage-devguide-1.0.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is:
openstack-object-storage-dev/target/docbkx/webhelp/api/openstack-object-storage/1.0/content/index.html
Testing of changes and building of the manual
Install the python tox package and run tox
from the
top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our
Jenkins gating jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
tox -e checkniceness
- to run the niceness teststox -e checksyntax
- to run syntax checkstox -e checkdeletions
- to check that no deleted files are referencedtox -e checkbuild
- to actually build the manual
tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the build check.
