scanfile

scanfile is a file containing specifications that defines which sources are to be scanned and what to generate from the resulting data.

See pmksyntax.5 to have an overview of the basic syntax of scanfiles.

The available commands are the following :

GEN_PMKFILE

This command specify a zone to scan and generate a pmkfile.

Arguments:

CFGNAME: type is 'quoted', give the name of the template config file to use instead of the default one.
DIRECTORY: type is 'quoted', define the zone directory to scan.
DISCARD: type is 'list', list of directories to discard in recursive mode.
EXTRATAG: type is 'list', list of extra tags to add in template files.
RECURSE: type is 'bool', enable recursive scanning, default is FALSE.
UNIQUE: type is 'bool', enable unique resulting file instead of one for each directory. This is actually the default and only one method available (work in progress).

For example:

GEN_PMKFILE {
	DIRECTORY = "."
	RECURSE = TRUE
	DISCARD = ("samples", "doc", "data", "man")
	UNIQUE = TRUE
}

GEN_MAKEFILE

This command specify a zone to scan and generate a makefile.

Arguments:

DIRECTORY: type is 'quoted', define the zone directory to scan.
DISCARD: type is 'list', list of directories to discard in recursive mode.
EXTRATAG: type is 'list', list of extra tags to add in template files.
MKFNAME: type is 'quoted', give the name of the template makefile to use instead of the default one.
RECURSE: type is 'bool', enable recursive scanning, default is FALSE.
UNIQUE: type is 'bool', enable unique resulting file instead of one for each directory. This is actually the default and only one method available (work in progress).

For example:

GEN_MAKEFILE {
	DIRECTORY = "."
	RECURSE = TRUE
	DISCARD = ("samples", "doc", "tests")
	MKFNAME = "Makefile.pmk"
	UNIQUE = TRUE
}

GEN_ZONE

This command specify a zone to scan and what to generate.

Arguments:

CFGNAME: type is 'quoted', give the name of the template config file to use instead of the default one.
DIRECTORY: type is 'quoted', define the zone directory to scan.
DISCARD: type is 'list', list of directories to discard in recursive mode.
EXTRATAG: type is 'list', list of extra tags to add in template files.
PMKFILE: type is 'bool', enable generation of a pmkfile
MAKEFILE: type is 'bool', enable generation of a makefile
MKFNAME: type is 'quoted', give the name of the template makefile to use instead of the default one.
RECURSE: type is 'bool', enable recursive scanning, default is FALSE.
UNIQUE: type is 'bool', enable unique resulting file instead of one for each directory. This is actually the default and only one method available (work in progress).

For example:

GEN_ZONE(main) {
	DIRECTORY = "."
	RECURSE = TRUE
	DISCARD = ("samples", "doc", "tests")
	PMKFILE = TRUE
	MAKEFILE = TRUE
	MKFNAME = "Makefile.pmk"
	UNIQUE = TRUE
}

DEF_LIB

This command define library attributes.

Arguments:

NAME: type is 'quoted', give the name of the library.
VMAJ: type is 'quoted', give the major version of the library.
VMIN: type is 'quoted', give the minor version of the library.
LINKER: type is 'quoted', define the relative language of the linker to be used.
SOURCES: type is 'list', list of the main sources which objects must be linked in the library.
HEADERS: type is 'list', list of library headers to be installed.

For example:

DEFINE_LIB {
	NAME = "testc"
	VMAJ = "1"
	VMIN = "3"
	LINKER = "C"
	SOURCES = ("libtest.c")
	HEADERS = ("libtest.h")
}
