MKC_CHECK_CUSTOM(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the MKC_CHECK_CUSTOM(1) page — this one is literally about running your own custom checks, and it’s giving main-character build-system energy ✨

mkc_check_custom — run user’s custom checks. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkc_check_custom [-r] sourcefile
mkc_check_custom cmd [args...]
mkc_check_custom -h

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If cmd is executable, mkc_check_custom runs cmd args. No cap.

Otherwise it tries to compile sourcefile and output 1 if compilation succeeded and 0 otherwise. Lowkey iconic behavior.

If the -r option was applied, it runs a compiled program. 🏃‍♀️💨

What type of compiler to use depends on the sourcefile extension, iykyk:

• .c corresponds to ${CC} (C language)
• .cc, .cxx, .C and .cpp correspond to ${CXX} (C++ language)
