NAME

       maria-cso - shared library generator for maria

SYNOPSIS

       maria-cso directory library.so file.c...
       maria-cso directory library.so file.c

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the maria-cso command.

       maria-cso  is  a  shell  script invoked by maria in order to compile generated C code into
       dynamically loadable shared object files.  The script  invokes  the  C  compiler  and  the
       linker, and it calculates checksums in order to avoid compiling unmodified modules.
       The  directory  argument  specifies  the location of the source files.  When the script is
       invoked with one file.c argument, it translates the file to the shared object library.so.
       When maria-cso is invoked with multiple file.c arguments, it computes a checksum of a file
       named  multiset.h  and of each argument.  When the header file multiset.h has been changed
       since the previous invocation of maria-cso, everything will be recompiled.  Otherwise only
       those  file.c  modules that have been modified will be recompiled.  The checksum files are
       multiset.sum and c.sum.
