DESCRIPTION

The sconsign command displays the contents of one or more signature database (sconsign) files used by the scons build tool.

By default, sconsign dumps the entire contents of the sconsign file(s). Without the verbose option, 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, build signature (bsig), or content signature (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.

The verbose option expands the display into a more human readable format.

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 ends in .dblite is assumed to be a traditional sconsign file containing the signature entries for a single directory. If neither of those is true, sconsign attempts to guess the format. If that does not work, an explicit format may be specified using the -f or --format= options.

If there are no file arguments, the name .sconsign.dblite is assumed.
