sv...inc(1)

📦 version 2.2.6, in debian bookworm

💖 sv...inc(1) — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sv...inc(1), aka the manual page for svn2revisioninc. grab a boba, we're doing Unix lore today 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

svn2revisioninc — the Lazarus utility that creates a revision.inc file straight out of an SVN repository. no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

svn2revisioninc
svn2revisioninc [Options] <repository path> <output file>
svn2revisioninc <repository path> [Options] <output file>

like… you can literally run it with nothing, or with options, or with paths, or options-and-paths in either order. she's flexible, she's iconic, she contains multitudes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

svn2revisioninc is the lil workhorse that the Lazarus build system calls up to build a revision.inc file from an SVN repository. that's the whole job. she shows up, she does it, she leaves 🔥

👑 NOTES 👑

okay this is the part where you actually pay attention, bestie, because the switchless params have a whole pecking order:

  1. 1st switchless parameter = <repository path> — and if you don't pass one, the default is the current directory. yes, she'll just use where you're standing. main character behaviour fr 🌈
  2. 2nd switchless parameter = <output file> — and if you don't pass one, the default is the default revision.inc. she knows where she's going 🫶
lowkey important: these are switchless params, meaning they're positional — they're not flags, they're just vibes in a specific order. don't get it twisted 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — displays a short help message. the "hi bestie here's the deal" button 💖
  • --o — output file. and the way this one overrides <output file>?? she said my turn. 😤✨
  • --c=<name> — name of the constant. default is RevisionStr. so if you're feeling spicy, you can rename her 💅
  • --s — write the revision to stdout, and do not create an inc file. sometimes you just wanna peek, and that's valid 🍓
  • --v — be verbose. she will tell you everything. not me enabling this and then getting a novel 😭

the whole squad, in no particular order because they're all equally iconic:

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one is brought to you by Lazarus, dated 07 December 2008 — a certified classic from the archives 🧚✨ go build something cute, and remember: options in either order, RevisionStr unless you say otherwise, and always check the -h if you're lost. mwah 💋🦋
