Usage: /usr/lib/ocaml-4/bin/cppo [OPTIONS] [FILE1 [FILE2 ...]]
Options:
-D DEF
Equivalent of interpreting '#define DEF' before processing the
input, e.g. `cppo -D 'VERSION "1.2.3"'` (no equal sign)
-U IDENT
Equivalent of interpreting '#undef IDENT' before processing the
input
-I DIR
Add directory DIR to the search path for included files
-V VAR:MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-OPTPRERELEASE+OPTBUILD
Define the following variables extracted from a version string
(following the Semantic Versioning syntax http://semver.org/):
VAR_MAJOR must be a non-negative int
VAR_MINOR must be a non-negative int
VAR_PATCH must be a non-negative int
VAR_PRERELEASE if the OPTPRERELEASE part exists
VAR_BUILD if the OPTBUILD part exists
VAR_VERSION is the tuple (MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH)
VAR_VERSION_STRING is the string MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
VAR_VERSION_FULL is the original string
Example: cppo -V OCAML:4.02.1
Note that cppo recognises both '-' and '~' preceding the pre-release
meaning -V OCAML:4.11.0+alpha1 sets OCAML_BUILD to alpha1 but
-V OCAML:4.12.0~alpha1 sets OCAML_PRERELEASE to alpha1.
-o FILE
Output file
-q
Identify and preserve camlp4 quotations
-s
Output line directives pointing to the exact source location of
each token, including those coming from the body of macro
definitions. This behavior is off by default.
-n
Do not output any line directive other than those found in the
input (overrides -s).
-version
Print the version of the program and exit.
-x NAME:CMD_TEMPLATE
Define a custom preprocessor target section starting with:
#ext "NAME"
and ending with:
#endext
NAME must be a lowercase identifier of the form [a-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*
CMD_TEMPLATE is a command template supporting the following
special sequences:
%F file name (unescaped; beware of potential scripting attacks)
%B number of the first line
%E number of the last line
%% a single percent sign
Filename, first line number and last line number are also
available from the following environment variables:
CPPO_FILE, CPPO_FIRST_LINE, CPPO_LAST_LINE.
The command produced is expected to read the data lines from stdin
and to write its output to stdout.
