NAME

       dune-subst - Substitute watermarks in source files.

SYNOPSIS

       dune subst [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       Substitute %%ID%% strings in source files, in a similar fashion to what topkg does in the default
       configuration.

       This command is only meant to be called when a user pins a package to its development version. Especially
       it replaces %%VERSION%% strings by the version obtained from the vcs. Currently only git is supported and
       the version is obtained from the output of:

         $ git describe --always --dirty

       dune subst substitutes the variables that topkg substitutes with the default configuration:
       - %%NAME%%, the name of the project (from the dune-project file)
       - %%VERSION%%, output of git describe --always --dirty
       - %%VERSION_NUM%%, same as %%VERSION%% but with a potential leading 'v' or 'V' dropped
       - %%VCS_COMMIT_ID%%, commit hash from the vcs
       - %%PKG_MAINTAINER%%, contents of the maintainer: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_AUTHORS%%, contents of the authors: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_HOMEPAGE%%, contents of the homepage: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_ISSUES%%, contents of the issues: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_DOC%%, contents of the doc: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_LICENSE%%, contents of the license: field from the opam file
       - %%PKG_REPO%%, contents of the repo: field from the opam file

       In order to call dune subst when your package is pinned, add this line to the build: field of your opam
       file:

         [dune "subst"] {pinned}

       Note that this command is meant to be called only from opam files and behaves a bit differently from
       other dune commands. In particular it doesn't try to detect the root and must be called from the root of
       the project.
