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
