--- Bake ---

Bake scripts into files.

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

You may have multi-line commands, by either including a leading @STOP or by
 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' and the file is
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.  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.

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.

--- Macro Extension ---

Macro provides various descriptive factors about the current context:

 @FILENAME :  Filename of the baked file         (abc.x.txt)
 @SHORT    :  Shortened version of the Filename  (^-> abc.x)
 @ARGS     :  the remaining arguments to Bake

$@, $*, $+, 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.

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