Function Documentation

   Key kdb::tools::helper::rebaseKey (const Key & key, const Key & oldParent, const Key &
       newParent)
       Rebases the supplied key from the old parent to the new parent.

       See also:
           ThreeWayMerge::rebasePath

       Parameters:
           key the key to be rebased
           oldParent the old parent of the key
           newParent the new parent of the key

       Returns:
           a rebased copy of the supplied key

       Exceptions:
           InvalidRebaseException if the key is not below the old parent

   string kdb::tools::helper::rebasePath (const Key & key, const Key & oldParent, const Key &
       newParent)
       Rebases the relative path of the passed key from the old parent to the new parent and
       returns the new path. For example a key /user/example/config/key1 with the oldparent
       /user/example and the new parent /user/newexample/newpath would result in
       /user/newexample/newpath/config/key1

       If any of the parent keys is a cascading key the namespace of the key to be rebased is
       assumed instead.

       Parameters:
           key the key whose path should be rebased
           oldParent the old parent of the key
           newParent the new parent of the key

       Returns:
           the rebased path

       Exceptions:
           InvalidRebaseException if the key is not below the old parent
