Deprecation: #68804 - CLI-related constants and methods

Description

Logic regarding regular CLI-based scripts with the CLIkey option has been moved into the CliRequestHandler.

Therefore, the following method has been marked as deprecated:

BackendUserAuthentication->checkCLIuser()

Additionally, the following constants and global parameters have been marked for deprecation in CLI context.

const TYPO3_cliKey
const TYPO3_cliInclude
$GLOBALS['MCONF']['name']
$GLOBALS['temp_cliScriptPath']
$GLOBALS['temp_cliKey']

The method, constants and variables will be removed in TYPO3 CMS 8.

Impact

Calling BackendUserAuthentication->checkCLIuser() directly will now trigger a deprecation log entry.

Affected Installations

Installations with custom entry points in a CLI environment that make use of the method, constants or variables above.

Migration

Use the native $_SERVER['argv'] or the given Input object directly in your code to detect the current CLI-relevant data.
