NAME

       cppo - lightweight cpp-like preprocessor for OCaml

SYNOPSIS

       cppo [Options...] files...

DESCRIPTION

       cppo is the equivalent of the C preprocessor for OCaml. It permits the definition and expansion of simple
       (in comparison with camlp4) macros and file inclusion.  cppo supports  functional  macros,  conditionals,
       boolean and arithmetic expressions, stringification, and calling different, external preprocessors. For a
       precise description of the features, see /usr/share/doc/cppo/README.gz.

OPTIONS

       -D IDENT
              define IDENT

       -U IDENT
              undefine IDENT

       -I DIR add DIR to the search path for included files

       -o FILE
              write output to FILE

       -q     Identify and preserve camlp4 quotations

       -s     Output line directives pointing to the exact source location of each token, including those coming
              from the body of macro definitions. This behavior is off by default.

       -n     Do not output any line directive other than those found in the input (overrides -s).

       -version
              print version and exit

       -x NAME:CMD_TEMPLATE
              Define a custom preprocessor target section starting with:

                     #ext "NAME"

              and ending with:

                     #endext

              NAME must be a lowercase identifier of the form [a-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*

              CMD_TEMPLATE is a command template supporting the following special sequences:

                     %F  file name (unescaped; beware of potential scripting attacks)

                     %B  number of the first line

                     %E  number of the last line

                     %%  a single percent sign

              The  filename,  the  first  line  number  and  the  last line number are available to the external
              preprocessor via the environment variables CPPO_FILE, CPPO_FIRST_LINE, CPPO_LAST_LINE.

              The command is expected to read from stdin and to write to stdout.

       -help | --help
              Display options and exit
