bake/README

--- Bake ---

Bake scripts into files.

Executes @BAKE to the end of the line or @STOP within in any given file.

You may have multi-line commands, by either including a leading @STOP
or ending each line with a backslash.

The execution takes place at the root of the target file, so if you have:
`test/file.c', and then execution takes place at `test'.

you may see a real example in the primary and only source file: `bake.c'.
this is not targeted toward any language and should be fairly flexible,
especially when multi-line comments are available.

Binary files (files that contain characters < ' ' or > '~') are supported.

A manpage is included: bake(1)

--- Building ---

Bootstrapping may be done with Shake, simply run `./shake ./bake.c'

Or simply run `install.sh', you'll need to be a privileged user to install the files.
See the file's content for more details regarding the installation.

--- I/O Extension ---

I/O provides various descriptive factors about the current context for the command,
primarily the full and shortened filename, and the remaining arguments to the process.

$@: the name of the executed file
$*: the text of the filename before the last dot
$+: the remaining arguments to Bake

They are most useful for a template command, such as: @BAKE cc $@ -o $* $+

--- Options ---

only one option may be in use at a time, and must come as the first argument.

-h, --help: displays help message, similarly to empty input.
-n, --dry-run: DRYRUN, does NOT run anything!

--- Shake ---

Bake was inspired by the Bash-based Shake utility (formerly eMake,
he liked my suggestion for a name).  It is included under authorization
of it's creator.  The original version of Shake may be found at:
<http://bis64wqhh3louusbd45iyj76kmn4rzw5ysawyan5bkxwyzihj67c5lid.onion/anon/shake>

Bake includes a modified Shake, both in installation, and as a bootstrapper.
The modified version includes all features of Bake with the exceptions of
multi-line commands.  It is not a replacement for Bake.
