NAME
makeflow_linker - automatic dependency location for workflows
SYNOPSIS
FCmakeflow_linker [options] <workflow_description>FT
DESCRIPTION
makeflow_linker is a tool for automatically determining dependencies of workflows. It accepts a workflow description, currently Makeflow syntax is required, and recursively determines the dependencies and produces a self-contained package. makeflow_linker supports Python, Perl, and shared libraries.
makeflow_linker finds dependencies by static analysis. FCevalFT and other dynamic code loading may obscure dependencies causing makeflow_linker to miss some critical dependencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid these techniques when desiging a workflow.
OPTIONS
- --dry-run
-
Run without creating directories or copying dependencies.
- -h,--help
-
Show this help screen.
- -n,--use-named
-
Do not copy files which are part of a named dependency, e.g. standard libraries.
- -o,--output=<directory>
-
Specify output directory.
- --verbose
-
Output status during run.
- -v,--version
-
Display version information.
EXIT STATUS
On success, returns zero. On failure (typically permission errors), returns non-zero.
BUGS
- •
-
The makeflow_linker does not check for naming collisions beyond the initial workflow inputs.
- •
-
The makeflow_linker relies on regex parsing of files
EXAMPLES
Package a workflow:
-
makeflow_linker -o example_mf example.mf
Run packaged workflow:
-
makeflow example_mf/example.mf
