# ocamlify(1)

create an OCaml file including other files.

## NAME

ocamlify - create an OCaml file including other files.

## SYNOPSIS

ocamlify \[options\] option-file

## DESCRIPTION

This program allows to copy files inside OCaml code. It uses a first file that describes the other files that must be included and the type of OCaml variable it should create. It can also describe dependencies to other files, in order to generate .depends files for make.

For example, we can create a file **test.mlify** with this content:

`      VarString oasissys_ml "OASISSys.ml"`\
 `      VarStringList readme_template_mkd "MANUAL-template.mkd"`

We then translate it using the program:

`      $> ocamlify --output test.ml test.mlify`

And we get a file **test.ml** containing two OCaml variables: *oasissys\_ml*, which is a string, and *readme\_template\_mkd* which is a string list (one string per line).
