okay bestie, welcome to pas2fpm(1) from the Free Pascal crew — the little tool that turns your units into a whole fpmake.pp file. she's niche but she serves. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

pas2fpm — the Free Pascal unit to fpmake.pp file generator tool. no cap, that's literally her whole job description. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pas2fpm [options] file1...filen

so you feed her options, then a whole pile of files. in that order. slay. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

pas2fpm creates a fpmake.pp file out of the unit files you hand her. 📝

she's lowkey smart about it too — she tries to order the units in an optimal form by scanning the uses clause. like, she reads your vibes (your dependencies) and arranges everything so it makes sense. main character energy fr fr. ✨

⚠️ okay important: she does not handle program files. only unit files are supported. if you hand her a program file she's just gonna be like 🧍‍♀️. units only, bestie. 💀

🫶 USAGE 🫶

so pas2fpm takes the following options at this time:

  • -h — displays a short help message. tiny, cute, helpful. the bare minimum and she delivers. 🙈
  • -o outputfile — by default, pas2fpm writes a file called fpmake.pp, and with this option the name can be changed. so if you're not feeling the default name, you get to pick your own. customize your life. 🎀
  • -p packagename — specify the name for the package in the fpmake file. gotta name your baby something. 👶✨
  • -v — be verbose: write some diagnostic output. she'll start yapping (affectionate) and tell you what's going on. 🔥
