NAME

       sconsign - print SCons .sconsign file information

SYNOPSIS

       sconsign [ options...  ] file [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       The sconsign command displays the contents of one or more .sconsign files specified by the user.

       By  default,  sconsign  dumps the entire contents of the specified file(s).  Each entry is printed in the
       following format:

           file: signature timestamp length
                   implicit_dependency_1: signature timestamp length
                   implicit_dependency_2: signature timestamp length
                   action_signature [action string]

       None is printed in place of any missing timestamp, bsig, or csig values for  any  entry  or  any  of  its
       dependencies.   If  the  entry  has  no  implicit  dependencies, or no build action, the lines are simply
       omitted.

       By default, sconsign assumes that any file arguments that end  with  a  .dbm  suffix  contains  signature
       entries  for  more than one directory (that is, was specified by the SConsignFile () function).  Any file
       argument that does not end in .dbm is assumed to be a traditional .sconsign file containing the signature
       entries for a single directory.  An explicit format may be specified using the -f or --file= options.

OPTIONS

       Various options control what information is printed and the format:

       -a, --act, --action
              Prints the build action information for all entries or the specified entries.

       -c, --csig
              Prints the content signature (csig) information for all entries or the specified entries.

       -d DIRECTORY, --dir=DIRECTORY
              When the signatures are being read from a .dbm file, or the -f dbm  or  --format=dbm  options  are
              used, prints information about only the signatures for entries in the specified DIRECTORY.

       -e ENTRY, --entry=ENTRY
              Prints information about only the specified ENTRY.  Multiple -e options may be used, in which case
              information  about  each  ENTRY  is printed in the order in which the options are specified on the
              command line.

       -f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
              The file(s) to be printed are in the specified FORMAT.  Legal values are dbm (the DBM format  used
              when  the  SConsignFile() function is used) or sconsign (the default format used for an individual
              .sconsign file in each directory).

       -h, --help
              Prints a help message and exits.

       -i, --implicit
              Prints the list of cached implicit dependencies for all entries or the the specified entries.

       --raw  Prints a pretty-printed representation of the raw Python dictionary that holds  build  information
              about  individual  entry  (both  the entry itself or its implicit dependencies).  An entry's build
              action is still printed in its usual format.

       -r, --readable
              Prints timestamps in a human-readable string, enclosed in single quotes.

       -t, --timestamp
              Prints the timestamp information for all entries or the specified entries.

       -v, --verbose
              Prints labels identifying each field being printed.

ENVIRONMENT

       SCONS_LIB_DIR

              src-0.01/src/engine).  on the command line.
