NAME
metaxref - builds cross-reference file/unit/item information
SYNOPSIS
metaxref
[ -dhkmsV ] [ -f manifest ]
[ -L dir ]
DESCRIPTION
Metaxref
is a program that scans all the files in your MANIFEST file and produces
three files which contains information about how the files in that MANIFEST
reference items defined by metaconfig's unit files.
The first two files,
I.fui
and
I.uif
reference the file, unit and items sorted differently. The
third file, Obsolete, dumps all the known obsolete symbols, in which
file they appear and the new symbol that should be used instead.
Note that obsolete symbols do not appear in the main cross-reference files,
but are only listed in the Obsolete file. That's yet another incentive
to use the new symbols in your sources. :-)
OPTIONS
Metaxref
recognizes the following options:
-d
Turn on debug mode.
-f manifest
Use an alternate manifest file.
-h
Print help message and exit.
-k
Keep temporary .MT directory.
-m
Assume lots of memory and swap space. This will drastically improve the
symbol lookup time in your source files, at the expense of memory usage.
-s
Turn on silent mode.
-L dir
Override default library location (where the U units directory
can be found).
Lists all the obsolete symbols used by the sources.
where LIB is /usr/share/dist.
BUGS
Metaxref will list among the wanted items all those magic symbols defined
within units on the ?M: lines. Those are relevant only when metaconfig is
invoked with the -M option.
