NAME
haskell-utils - utility for managing Haskell compilers
SYNOPSIS
haskell-utils [ --help | -h | --version | -v ]
haskell-utils [ -e ] --add-compiler PATH_TO_COMPILER TYPE VERSION
haskell-utils [ -e ] --remove-compiler PATH_TO_COMPILER
haskell-utils [ -e ] --add-trigger IDENT TYPE TRIGGER
haskell-utils [ -e ] --add-untrigger IDENT TYPE TRIGGER
haskell-utils [ -e ] --remove-triggers IDENT
DESCRIPTION
haskell-utils allows compilers and tools that like to know about compilers to register themselves so the latter can be informed about the addition and removal of the former.
OPTIONS
PATH_TO_COMPILER is the path to the compiler, e.g. /usr/bin/ghc6
TYPE is GHC | NHC | HUGS | Other.
IDENT is a string uniquely identifying the trigger owner.
TRIGGER is the command to be run when the trigger happens. %% is replaced with % and %p with the path to the compiler.
- --help, -h
-
Show summary of options.
- --version, -v
-
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
- -e
-
If a program called fails, or if we are asked to remove something that doesn't exist from our database, fail.
- --add-compiler PATH_TO_COMPILER TYPE VERSION
-
Registers the compiler at PATH_TO_COMPILER as being of the given type and version. For example, “haskell-utils --add-compiler /usr/bin/ghc6 GHC 6.0.1”.
- --remove-compiler PATH_TO_COMPILER
-
Unregisters compilers added with --add-compiler, e.g. “haskell-utils --add-compiler /usr/bin/ghc6”.
- --add-trigger IDENT TYPE TRIGGER
-
Add a trigger. The TRIGGER will be executed as a command whenever a new compiler of type TYPE is registered. Additionally it will be run for all registered compilers of the appropriate type when the trigger itself is added. Any occurence of %% will be replaced by % and %p by the compiler path in TRIGGER. The IDENT is just a string unique to the installing package so triggers can be removed.
- --add-untrigger IDENT TYPE TRIGGER
-
The same as --add-untrigger but called when compilers are removed rather than added.
- --remove-triggers IDENT
-
Remove all triggers with identifier IDENT.
