NAME

       dune-external-lib-deps - Moved to dune describe external-lib-deps.

SYNOPSIS

       dune external-lib-deps [OPTION]… [TARGET]…

DESCRIPTION

       This subcommand used to print out an approximate set of external libraries that were required for
       building a given set of targets, without running the build. While this feature was useful, over time the
       quality of approximation had degraded and the cost of maintenance had increased, so we decided to remove
       it.

OPTIONS

       --action-stderr-on-success=VAL
           Same as --action-stdout-on-success but for standard error instead of standard output. A good default
           for large mono-repositories is --action-stdout-on-success=swallow
           --action-stderr-on-success=must-be-empty. This ensures that a successful build has a "clean" empty
           output.

       --action-stdout-on-success=VAL
           Specify how to deal with the standard output of actions when they succeed. Possible values are: print
           to just print it to Dune's output, swallow to completely ignore it and must-be-empty to enforce that
           the action printed nothing. With must-be-empty, Dune will consider that the action failed if it
           printed something to its standard output. The default is print.

       --build-info
           Show build information.

       --display-separate-messages
           Separate error messages with a blank line.

       --error-reporting=VAL (absent=deterministic)
           Controls when the build errors are reported. early reports errors as soon as they are discovered.
           deterministic reports errors at the end of the build in a deterministic order. twice reports each
           error twice: once as soon as the error is discovered and then again at the end of the build, in a
           deterministic order.

       -f, --force
           Force actions associated to aliases to be re-executed even if their dependencies haven't changed.

       --file-watcher=VAL (absent=automatic)
           Mechanism to detect changes in the source. Automatic to make dune run an external program to detect
           changes. Manual to notify dune that files have changed manually.

       --missing
           unused

       --passive-watch-mode
           Similar to [--watch], but only start a build when instructed externally by an RPC.

       --sandbox=VAL (absent DUNE_SANDBOX env)
           Set sandboxing mode. Some actions require a certain sandboxing mode, so they will ignore this
           setting. The allowed values are: none, symlink, copy, hardlink.

       --sexp
           unused

       --stop-on-first-error
           Stop the build as soon as an error is encountered.

       --unstable-by-dir
           unused

       -w, --watch
           Instead of terminating build after completion, wait continuously for file changes.

       --wait-for-filesystem-clock
           Dune digest file contents for better incrementally. These digests are themselves cached. In some
           cases, Dune needs to drop some digest cache entries in order for things to be reliable. This option
           makes Dune wait for the file system clock to advance so that it doesn't need to drop anything. You
           should probably not care about this option; it is mostly useful for Dune developers to make Dune
           tests of the digest cache more reproducible.

COMMON OPTIONS

       These options are common to all commands.

       --always-show-command-line
           Always show the full command lines of programs executed by dune.

       --auto-promote
           Automatically promote files. This is similar to running dune promote after the build.

       --build-dir=FILE (absent DUNE_BUILD_DIR env)
           Specified build directory. _build if unspecified

       --cache=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE env)
           Enable or disable Dune cache (one of disabled, enabled-except-user-rules or enabled). Default is
           `enabled-except-user-rules'.

       --cache-check-probability=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY env)
           Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules and comparing their results with
           those stored in Dune cache. Note: by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the
           build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.

       --cache-storage-mode=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE env)
           Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is `hardlink'.

       --config-file=FILE
           Load this configuration file instead of the default one.

       --debug-artifact-substitution
           Print debugging info about artifact substitution

       --debug-backtraces
           Always print exception backtraces.

       --debug-cache=VAL
           Show debug messages on cache misses for the given cache layers. Value is a comma-separated list of
           cache layer names. All available cache layers: shared,workspace-local,fs.

       --debug-dependency-path
           In case of error, print the dependency path from the targets on the command line to the rule that
           failed.

       --debug-digests
           Explain why Dune decides to re-digest some files

       --debug-load-dir
           Print debugging info about directory loading

       --debug-package-logs (absent DUNE_DEBUG_PACKAGE_LOGS env)
           Always print the standard logs when building packages

       --default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
           Set the default target that is used when none is specified to dune build.

       --diff-command=VAL (absent DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND env)
           Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the diff.

       --disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
           Disable all promotion rules

       --display=MODE
           Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more details. Valid values for this option
           are progress, verbose, short, quiet or tui.

       --dump-gc-stats=FILE
           Dump the garbage collector stats to a file after the build is complete.

       --dump-memo-graph=FILE
           Dump the dependency graph to a file after the build is complete.

       --dump-memo-graph-format=FORMAT (absent=gexf)
           Set the file format used by --dump-memo-graph

       --dump-memo-graph-with-timing
           Re-run each cached node in the Memo graph after building and include the run duration in the output
           of --dump-memo-graph. Since all nodes contain a cached value, each measurement will only account for
           a single node.

       --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
           Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. With auto,
           the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.

       --ignore-lock-dir
           Ignore dune.lock/ directory.

       --ignore-promoted-rules
           Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The variable
           %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether this option was passed or not.

       --instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
           Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated list of library names, each one of
           which must declare an instrumentation backend.

       -j JOBS
           Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously.

       --no-buffer
           Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default dune buffers the output of
           subcommands, in order to prevent interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel.
           However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests. With --no-buffer, commands have
           direct access to the terminal. Note that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file.
           You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid interleaving. Additionally you should
           use --verbose as well, to make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.

       --no-config
           Do not load the configuration file

       --no-print-directory
           Suppress "Entering directory" messages.

       --only-packages=PACKAGES
           Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES. PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of
           package names. Note that this has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune files.
           It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is likely that what you want instead is to
           build a particular <package>.install target.

       -p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES (required)
           Shorthand for --release --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this option in your <package>.opam
           files, in order to build only what's necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well
           as getting reproducible builds.

       --print-metrics
           Print out various performance metrics after every build.

       --profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
           Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default is dev.

       --promote-install-files[=VAL] (default=true)
           Promote any generated <package>.install files to the source tree.

       --release
           Put dune into a reproducible release mode. Shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config
           --profile release --always-show-command-line --promote-install-files --require-dune-project-file
           --ignore-lock-dir --default-target @install. You should use this option for release builds. For
           instance, you must use this option in your <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p, as -p
           implies this option.

       --require-dune-project-file[=VAL] (default=true)
           Fail if a dune-project file is missing.

       --root=DIR
           Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note that this option doesn't change the
           interpretation of targets given on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.

       --store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
           Store original source location in dune-package metadata.

       --terminal-persistence=MODE
           Change how the log of build results are displayed to the console between rebuilds while in --watch
           mode. Supported modes: preserve, clear-on-rebuild, clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history.

       --trace-extended
           Output extended trace data (requires trace-file).

       --trace-file=FILE
           Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with chrome://tracing).

       --verbose
           Same as --display verbose

       --version
           Show version information.

       --watch-exclusions=REGEX
           Adds a POSIX regular expression that will exclude matching directories from `dune build --watch`. The
           option --watch-exclusions can be repeated to add multiple exclusions. Semicolons can be also used as
           a separator. If no exclusions are provided, then a standard set of exclusions is used; however, if
           one or more --watch-exclusions are used, none of the standard exclusions are used. The standard
           exclusions are: ^_opam /_opam ^_esy /_esy ^\.#.* /\.#.* ~$ ^#[^#]*#$ /#[^#]*#$ ^4913$ /4913$ /.git
           /.hg :/windows

       --workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
           Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.

       -x VAL
           Cross-compile using this toolchain.
