6 dune-rules - Dump internal rules.
7
9 dune rules [OPTION]... [TARGET]...
10
12 Dump Dune internal rules for the given targets. If no targets are
13 given, dump all the internal rules.
14 By default the output is a list of S-expressions, one S-expression per
16 rule. Each S-expression is of the form:
17 ((deps (<dependencies>))
19 (targets (<targets>))
20 (context <context-name>)
21 (action <action>))
22 <context-name> is the context is which the action is executed. It is
24 omitted if the action is independent from the context.
25 <action> is the action following the same syntax as user actions, as
27 described in the manual.
28
30 --build-info
31 Show build information.
32 -f, --force
34 Force actions associated to aliases to be re-executed even if their
35 dependencies haven't changed.
36 --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
38 Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of `auto',
39 `pager', `groff' or `plain'. With `auto', the format is `pager` or
40 `plain' whenever the TERM env var is `dumb' or undefined.
41 -m, --makefile
43 Output the rules in Makefile syntax.
44 -o FILE
46 Output to a file instead of stdout.
47 -r, --recursive
49 Print all rules needed to build the transitive dependencies of the
50 given targets.
51 --sandbox=VAL (absent DUNE_SANDBOX env)
53 Sandboxing mode to use by default. Some actions require a certain
54 sandboxing mode, so they will ignore this setting. The allowed
55 values are: none, symlink, copy.
56 --version
58 Show version information.
59 -w, --watch
61 Instead of terminating build after completion, wait continuously
62 for file changes.
63
65 These options are common to all commands.
66 --always-show-command-line
68 Always show the full command lines of programs executed by dune
69 --auto-promote
71 Automatically promote files. This is similar to running dune
72 promote after the build.
73 --build-dir=FILE (absent DUNE_BUILD_DIR env)
75 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
76 --cache=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE env)
78 Activate binary cache (either `disabled' or `enabled'). Default is
79 `disabled'.
80 --cache-check-probability=VAL (absent=0. or
82 DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY env)
83 Probability cached rules are rerun to check for reproducibility
84 --cache-duplication=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_DUPLICATION env)
86 Binary cache duplication mode
87 --cache-transport=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_TRANSPORT env)
89 Binary cache protocol
90 --config-file=FILE
92 Load this configuration file instead of the default one.
93 --debug-artifact-substitution
95 Print debugging info about artifact substitution
96 --debug-backtraces
98 Always print exception backtraces.
99 --debug-dependency-path
101 In case of error, print the dependency path from the targets on the
102 command line to the rule that failed.
103 --debug-findlib
105 Debug the findlib sub-system.
106 --default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
108 Set the default target that when none is specified to dune build.
109 --diff-command=VAL
111 Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the
112 diff.
113 --disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
115 Disable all promotion rules
116 --display=MODE
118 Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more
119 details.
120 --ignore-promoted-rules
122 Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The
123 variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether
124 this option was passed or not.
125 --instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
127 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
128 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
129 instrumentation backend.
130 -j JOBS
132 Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously.
133 --no-buffer
135 Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default
136 dune buffers the output of subcommands, in order to prevent
137 interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel.
138 However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests.
139 With --no-buffer, commands have direct access to the terminal. Note
140 that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file.
141 You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid
142 interleaving. Additionally you should use --verbose as well, to
143 make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.
144 --no-config
146 Do not load the configuration file
147 --no-print-directory
149 Suppress "Entering directory" messages
150 --only-packages=PACKAGES
152 Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES.
153 PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of package names. Note that this
154 has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune
155 files. It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is
156 likely that what you want instead is to build a particular
157 <package>.install target.
158 -p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES
160 Shorthand for --release --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this
161 option in your <package>.opam files, in order to build only what's
162 necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well as
163 getting reproducible builds.
164 --profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
166 Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default
167 is dev.
168 --promote-install-files
170 Promote the generated <package>.install files to the source tree
171 --release
173 Put dune into a reproducible release mode. This is in fact a
174 shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config
175 --profile release --always-show-command-line
176 --promote-install-files --default-target @install. You should use
177 this option for release builds. For instance, you must use this
178 option in your <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p,
179 as -p implies this option.
180 --root=DIR
182 Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note
183 that this option doesn't change the interpretation of targets given
184 on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.
185 --store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
187 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
188 --terminal-persistence=MODE
190 Changes how the log of build results are displayed to the console
191 between rebuilds while in --watch mode. Supported modes: preserve,
192 clear-on-rebuild.
193 --trace-file=FILE
195 Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with
196 chrome://tracing)
197 --verbose
199 Same as --display verbose
200 --workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
202 Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.
203 -x VAL
205 Cross-compile using this toolchain.
206
208 Use `dune COMMAND --help' for help on a single command.
209
211 These environment variables affect the execution of rules:
212 DUNE_BUILD_DIR
214 Specified build directory. _build if unspecified
215 DUNE_CACHE
217 Activate binary cache (either `disabled' or `enabled'). Default is

222 DUNE_CACHE_DUPLICATION
224 Binary cache duplication mode
225 DUNE_CACHE_TRANSPORT
227 Binary cache protocol
228 DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION
230 Disable all promotion rules
231 DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH
233 "Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated
234 list of library names, each one of which must declare an
235 instrumentation backend.
236 DUNE_PROFILE
238 Build profile. dev if unspecified or release if -p is set.
239 DUNE_SANDBOX
241 Sandboxing mode to use by default. (see --sandbox)
242 DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR
244 Store original source location in dune-package metadata
