MAKEDEFS(6) Games Manual MAKEDEFS(6) NAME makedefs - NetHack miscellaneous build-time functions SYNOPSIS makedefs { -o | -d | -e | -m | -v | -p | -q | -r | -h | -z } makedefs --input file --output file --command DESCRIPTION Makedefs is a build-time tool used for a variety of NetHack(6) source file creation and modification tasks. For historical reasons, makedefs takes two types of command lines. When invoked with a short option, the files operated on are determined when makedefs is compiled. When invoked with a long option, the --input and --output options are used to specify the files for the --command. Each command is only available in one of the two formats. SHORT COMMANDS Upper and lower case are both accepted for the short commands. -o Generate onames.h. -d Generate data.base. -e Generate dungeon.pdf. The input file dungeon.def is passed through the same logic as that used by the --grep command; see the MDGREP FUNCTIONS section below for details. -m Generate monster.c. -v Generate date.h and options file. It will read dat/gitinfo.txt, only if it is present, to obtain githash= and gitbranch= info and include related preprocessor #defines in date.h file. -p Generate pm.h -q Generate quest.dat. -r Generate the rumors file. -s Generate the bogusmon , engrave and epitaphfiles. -h Generate the oracles file. -z Generate vis_tab.c and vis_tab.h. LONG COMMANDS --debug Show debugging output. --make [command] Execute a short command. Command is given without preceding dash. --input file Specify the input file for the command (if needed). If the file is - standard input is read. --output file Specify the output file for the command (if needed). If the file is - standard output is written. --svs [delimiter] Generate a version string to standard output without a trailing newline. If specified, the delimiter is used between each part of the version string. --grep Filter the input file to the output file. See the MDGREP FUNC- TIONS section below for information on controlling the filtering operation. --grep-showvars Show the name and value for each variable known to the grep op- tion. --grep-trace Turn on debug tracing for the grep function ( --grep must be specified as well). --grep-define symbol Force the value of symbol to be "defined." Symbol must already be known to makedefs. --grep-undef symbol Force the definition of symbol to be "undefined." Symbol must already be known to makedefs. MDGREP FUNCTIONS The --grep command (and certain other commands) filter their input, on a line-by-line basis, according to control lines embedded in the input and on information gleaned from the NetHack(6) configuration. This al- lows certain changes such as embedding platform-specific documentation into the master documentation files. Rules: - The default conditional state is printing enabled. - Any line NOT starting with a caret (^) is either suppressed or passed through unchanged depending on the current condi- tional state. - Any line starting with a caret is a control line; as in C, zero or more spaces may be embedded in the line almost any- where (except immediately after the caret); however the caret must be in column 1. - Conditionals may be nested. - Makedefs will exit with an error code if any errors are de- tected; processing will continue (if it can) to allow as many errors as possible to be detected. - Unknown identifiers are treated as both TRUE and as an er- ror. Note that --undef or #undef in the NetHack(6) configu- ration are different from unknown. Control lines: ^^ a line starting with a (single) literal caret ^# a comment ^?ID if the ID is defined set the conditional state to TRUE ^!ID if the ID is not defined set the conditional state to TRUE ^: else; invert the conditional state ^. end the most recent conditional AUTHOR The NetHack Development Team SEE ALSO dgn_comp(6) COPYRIGHT This file is Copyright (C) Kenneth Lorber and was last modified 2018/04/25 (version NetHack-3.6.0:1.10).
