BOTCH-CROSS(1)

💅 BOTCH-CROSS(1) — the botch tools, cross phase edition ✨

okay bestie, so this is botch-cross, part of the botch tools squad, and she runs the botch tools in the cross phase. yes she's that girl. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

botch-cross — execute botch tools in the cross phase. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

botch-cross [options] [buildarch hostarch buildpackages sources]

those last four are optional positional besties, they get passed along. don't overthink it 🦋

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so like, the whole point is: use the botch tools to analyze the cross bootstrap phase. that's the vibe. that's the mission. she coordinates the whole lil pipeline for you 💅

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, no skips, no cap:

• -h, --help — show the help message. the classic. the "wait what does this do again" button 🙈
• -k, --keep — keep the temporary files. normally they'd get yeeted, but with this she holds onto them 💀
• -w, --online — produce stat.html for online consumption. it's giving web-ready 🌈
• -o, --output=DIR — output directory. default is the current directory, so if you don't say anything she just drops everything right where you're standing 🎀
• -t, --tmp=DIR — temporary directory. default is created by mktemp(1) ✨
• -G, --optgraph — calculate a dependency graph where each installation set contains the minimal number of unavailable binary packages. yes she's optimizing, she's that girl 🔥
• -T, --timers — time all program executions. stopwatch energy ⏱️
• -m, --allowsrcmismatch — allow binary packages to be associated with a source package of a different version than themselves. letting the mismatched girlies through 🦋
• -e, --ignoresrclessbin — ignore binary packages without a source package. if you got no source, you're not invited to this party 💅
• -b, --sapsb — calculate strong articulation points and bridges. graph theory main character moment 👑
• -I, --deb-drop-b-d-indep — drop Build-Depends-Indep dependencies. gone, reduced to atoms 🍓
• -v, --verbose — be more verbose. she starts yapping (lovingly) 🌸
• -d, --debug — maximum verbosity. full yap mode, no filter, everything 💜
• -D, --develop — execute tools from the source checkout instead of $PATH. dev mode activated, we're not using the installed ones, we're going straight to the source 💖

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

the following files are created in the output directory. brace yourself bestie, it's a whole little family:

• buildgraph_acyclic.xml — the output of botch-profile-build-fvs.
• buildgraph.xml — the output of botch-create-graph.
• cross.json — the output of botch-dose2html.
• cyclic_src:*.xml — the strongly connected components created by botch-extract-scc.
• fas — the standard output of botch-extract-scc.
• feedback_vertex_set.list — the concatenated output of multiple runs of botch-find-fvs.
• ma.diff — the output of botch-ma-diff.
• order1.lst — the output of botch-build-fixpoint.
• order2.lst — the output of botch-partial-order.
• remove.list — the output of botch-fasofstats.
• srcgraph_acyclic.xml — buildgraph_acyclic.xml converted by botch-buildgraph2srcgraph.
• srcgraph.xml — buildgraph.xml converted by botch-buildgraph2srcgraph.
• stats.html — the standard output of botch-stat-html
• stats.json — the JSON output of botch-stat-html

heads up: yes, stats.html and stats.json are missing their trailing periods in the original. we keep it exactly as it is, we don't editorialize, periodt. 💅
