+#  Script:  update_copyright.sh
+#
+#  Purpose: This script updates the copyright comment headers in
+#           c/c++, shell script, and Makefiles. Depending on the options
+#           specified below, this script will also automatically create a
+#           Perforce changelist and checkout the files before updating the
+#           copyright headers.
+#
+#  Usage:   ./update_copyright.sh [-c chglist num|"none"] <files>
+#             Options:
+#
+#             -c num|"none"    If -c is specified with a Perforce changelist 
+#                              number, then files that are updated by this
+#                              script will be put into the specified changelist.
+#
+#                              If '-c none' is specified, the script will not 
+#                              execute any Perforce commands before updating the
+#                              copyright in files. The user is expected to checkout 
+#                              the files prior to excuting this script.
+#
+#                              If -c is not specified (default), a new change list 
+#                              is created and all updated files are put into the new 
+#                              change list.
+#
+#
+#  This script makes use of the following perl scripts:
+#      strip_c_copyright.pl   - Strips a copyright header from a c/c++ file.
+#      strip_sh_copyright.pl  - Strips a copyright header from a Makefile or shell 
+#                               script.
+#      insert_copyright.pl    - Inserts a copyright header into a c/c++, shell script, 
+#                               or Makefile file.
+#
+#
+#  --------------------------
+#  Copyright Update Procedure
+#  --------------------------
+#
+#  The following procedure should be used to update the copyright information.
+#
+#  1) find . -regextype egrep -regex '.*\.c|.*\.h|.*\.cpp|.*Makefile|.*Makefile\.sdk|.*\.mk|.*\.sh' | xargs $PROJROOT/tools/copyright_tools/update_copyright.sh
+#
+#  To exlude a directory from the search, use the following command
+#
+#  1a) find . -path ./3rdparty -prune -o -regextype egrep -regex '.*\.c|.*\.h|.*\.cpp|.*Makefile|.*Makefile\.sdk|.*\.mk|.*\.sh' | xargs $PROJROOT/tools/copyright_tools/update_copyright.sh
+#
+#  2) Update the "Copyright (c)" statement in the debug CLI (./lib/libdbg/dbgCli.c)
+#        - Note: newer versions of the script may already handle this automatically.
+#
+#  3) Update the following files by hand because they do not follow
+#     the standard source file naming conventions:
+#         - bal/cur/3rdparty/indigo/indigo/modules/ofpal_driver/module/src/ofpal_driver.c
+#         - bal/cur/3rdparty/indigo/indigo/modules/ofpal-driver/utest/main.c
+#         - bal/cur/doxygen/Makefile
+#
+#      Also, you can use the following command to find additional straglers...
+#
+#         find . | xargs grep 2013
+#
+#  (Optional) Use the following procedure to verify the changes.
+#
+#        a) Use p4 to build a list of files that are being modified by this CL.
+#
+#           p4 describe <CL from step1> | grep '^\.\.\.' | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's%//SystemSoftware/Rel/pioneer/dml/%%g' | sed 's%\#.$%%g'  > p4_changes_files.txt
+#        
+#        b) Add the following bash script to a file called temp.sh and
+#           add execute permissions to the file.
+#
+#            #!/bin/sh
+#            #
+#            while read -r line; do
+#                echo "$line:  "`p4 diff -ds $line | grep changed`
+#            done < p4_changes_files.txt
+#        
+#        c) Run the script
+#
+#            ./temp.sh | tee p4_diffs.txt
+#        
+#        d) Check the scripe for unusual/unexpected changes and use 'p4 diff file'
+#           to investigate.
+#
+#            cat p4_diffs.txt | grep -v "changed 1 chunks 1 / 1 lines" | tee t1.txt
