OCAMLMKLIB(1)

✨ OCAMLMKLIB ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for ocamlmklib, and no cap this thing is lowkey a little powerhouse 🫶

🌸 NAME

ocamlmklib — generate libraries with mixed C / Caml code.

🎀 SYNOPSIS

ocalmklib [options] files

💖 DESCRIPTION

The ocamlmklib command makes it so easy to build libraries that have Caml code and C code living in them at the same time, bestie. Like, they're roommates. And the best part? The library you get works in static linking mode and dynamic linking mode. It's giving versatility, it's giving range, it's giving main character energy 👑
