The execution takes place at the root of the target file, so if you have:

simply regarded as `file.c'.
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.
especially when multi-line comments are available. You should always
consider your usecase before using a tool like this. Bake is not an
all-in-one solution, nor is it designed to be a sophisticated build system,
consider something like GNU Make or Mason instead.
Binary files (files that contain characters < ' ' or > '~') are supported.
A manpage is included: bake(1)
Manpages are included: bake(1) shake(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 ---
--- Macro 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.
Macro provides various descriptive factors about the current context:
$@: the name of the executed file
$*: the text of the filename before the last dot
$+: the remaining arguments to Bake
@FILENAME : Filename of the baked file (abc.x.txt)
@SHORT : Shortened version of the Filename (^-> abc.x)
@ARGS : the remaining arguments to Bake
They are most useful for a template command, such as: @BAKE cc $@ -o $* $+
$@, $*, $+, respectively mapped to @FILENAME, @SHORT, and @ARGS,
are still supported, avoid these in the future.
They are most useful for a template command, such as:
@BAKE cc @FILENAME -o @SHORT @ARGS
Backslash, while otherwise ignored, will be respected at the end of the line
to concatenate lines together or if added to before any of listed macros will
yield the unfettered text.

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