SHTOOLIZE.TMP(1)	     GNU Portable Shell Tool		SHTOOLIZE.TMP(1)

NAME
     shtoolize - Build individual GNU shtool scripts

VERSION
     GNU shtool 2.0.8 (18-Jul-2008)

SYNOPSIS
     shtoolize [-h] [-v] [-q] [-o script] module [ module ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     The shtoolize program builds individual GNU shtool scripts (written to the
     default output file "shtool" or to the specified script) out of one or more
     shtool ingredient modules.  Available modules are:

      echo	 Print string with optional construct expansion
      mdate	 Pretty-print modification time of a file or dir
      table	 Pretty print a field-separated list as a table
      prop	 Display progress with a running propeller
      move	 Move files with simultan substitution
      install	 Install a program, script or datafile
      mkdir	 Make one or more directories
      mkln	 Make link with calculation of relative paths
      mkshadow	 Make a shadow tree
      fixperm	 Fix file permissions inside a source tree
      rotate	 Rotate a logfile
      tarball	 Roll distribution tarballs
      subst	 Apply sed(1) substitution operations
      platform	 Platform identification utility
      arx	 Extended archive command
      slo	 Separate linker options by library class
      scpp	 Sharing C Pre-Processor
      version	 Generate and maintain a version information file
      path	 Deal with program paths

     Additionally there is a pseudo-module ``"all"'' which can be used as a
     short-hand for ``"echo mdate table prop move install mkdir mkln mkshadow
     fixperm platform arx slo scpp version path"'', i.e. to build a shtool
     script with all modules in the standard order. An installed shtool is usu-
     ally built this way via ``"shtoolize -o shtool all"''.

     Use the shtoolize program to build individual shtool scripts in case you
     want a smaller sized script and you don't need all of the available shtool
     functionality.  For instance for the classical Autoconf based free software
     package a "shtool" script build via ``"shtoolize -o shtool install mkdir"''
     might be sufficient.

OPTIONS
     The following command line options exist:

     -h  Displays a short help page describing the usage of shtoolize.

     -v  Displays the version number of shtoolize/shtool.

     -q  Displays no processing information.

     -o script
	 Writes the output to file script instead to file ``"shtool"''.

EXAMPLE
     The typical free software package which is based on GNU libtool and GNU
     shtool one uses a "Makefile" entry like the following:

      #   Makefile entry for upgrading GNU tools
      upgrade-tools:
	  libtoolize -f -c
	  shtoolize -q all

     This upgrades the three files "ltmain.sh", "ltconfig" and "shtool" in the
     current source tree to the latest versions.

SEE ALSO
