MKC_CHECK_PROG(1)

okay so bestie, buckle up — this is mkc_check_prog, and we're literally inside the MKC_CHECK_PROG(1) manual page. It's giving build-system helper energy, and we're gonna get through every detail together 💖✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkc_check_prog — detects presense of header file. Yep, that's the NAME line, spelling and all, no cap 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkc_check_prog [OPTIONS] <progname>
mkc_check_prog -h

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So mkc_check_prog takes a name and looks for the file with that name which would be executable. It searches for that executable along the user's PATH. If an appropriate executable is found, a path to it is printed. Otherwise, an error message is printed and mkc_check_prog exits with error. Iconic behavior, honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h — display help message. Helpful bestie behavior fr fr.
• -i progid — progid will be used as a part of _mkc_* cache file name. Cute little cache-name cameo.
• -d — delete cache and temporary files. Cleanup era 💅
• -D — delete cache files. Cache files only, bestie.

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• PATH — list of colon-separated directories. This is where the executable search happens.
• MKC_VERBOSE — if set to 1, verbose messages are output to stderr.
• MKC_SHOW_CACHED — if set to 1 and MKC_VERBOSE is set to 1, cached results are output to stderr.
• MKC_CACHEDIR — directory where temporary and cache files are created. If unset, they are created in a current directory.
• MKC_NOCACHE — all results are cached unless MKC_NOCACHE variable is set to 1.
• MKC_DELETE_TMPFILES — if set to 1, temporary files are removed.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Run these little cuties like this:

mkc_check_prog gawk
mkc_check_prog c++
mkc_check_prog lua
