+.TH ppdep 1 "9 June 1999" FreePascal "Free Pascal unit dependency tracking"
|
|
|
+.SH NAME
|
|
|
+ppdep \- The FPC Pascal unit dependency tracking program.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+\fBppdep\fP [-DDefine] [-oFile] [-eext] [-V] [-h] [A[call]] file
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH Description
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+\fBppdep\fP dumps the dependencies of a unit in a format that can be
|
|
|
+understood by GNU \fBmake\fP. It writes these dependencies to standard
|
|
|
+output. It takes care of dependencies both in the interface and
|
|
|
+implemntation section of the unit, and it can handle conditional defines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH Usage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can invoke \fBppdep\fP with as the only required argument the name of the
|
|
|
+file (program or unit) whose dependecies you wish to list. You don't need
|
|
|
+to specify an extension, by default \fB.pp\fP is assumed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.SH Options
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+\fBppdep\fP has several options, which are case insensitive:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-a[call]\fP
|
|
|
+This option tells \fBppdep\fP to generate a compiler call for the
|
|
|
+makefile. The compiler call will be generated for each file that
|
|
|
+is found in the current directory. If you do no specify an explicit
|
|
|
+compiler call, \fBppc386\fP is used.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-dKeyword\fP
|
|
|
+This option defines \fBkeyword\fP that can be used to verify conditional
|
|
|
+defines. \fBppdep\fP understands conditional defines, you should use this
|
|
|
+switch if the \fIuses\fP clause of the programs or units can contain conditional
|
|
|
+defines.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-eext\fP
|
|
|
+This allows you to specify a different extension for the unit files.
|
|
|
+By default, \fB.ppu\fP is assumed. This extension is written to the
|
|
|
+makefile.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI-f[call]\fP
|
|
|
+This option tells \fBppdep\fP to generate a compiler call for the
|
|
|
+makefile. The compiler call will be generated only for the file that
|
|
|
+was specified on the \fBppdep\fP command line. If you want to generate a
|
|
|
+compiler call for each file found, use the \fI\-a\fP option.
|
|
|
+If you do no specify an explicit compiler call, \fBppc386\fP is used.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-h\fP
|
|
|
+Shows a short help screen.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-ofile\fP
|
|
|
+This option allows you to specify a file to which the dependencies should be
|
|
|
+written. By default the dependencies are written to standard output.
|
|
|
+If you specify this option, the dependencies are written to \fBfile\fP
|
|
|
+instead.
|
|
|
+.IP \fI\-v\fP
|
|
|
+Writes some diagnostic messages. If you use this option, be sure to use
|
|
|
+\fI\-o\fP as well, since the diagnostic messages will also be written to
|
|
|
+standard output.
