export
Exports the derived objects produced from a particular build.
Format
export full_build_name
[-link]
[-into pathname]
[-r]
[-from file_suffix]
[-select build_unit_specifier]
[-read]
Description
The export command exports copies of the derived objects produced from a given
build to either the working directory or an alternate directory. You designate
the build by its full build name. (Type help full_build_name for the correct
syntax for this argument.)
For example,
DSEE> export alpha.pas!22-May-1984.10:27:00
copies the derived object(s) built for component alpha.pas on May 22, 1984 at
10:27 a.m.
By default, export copies the derived objects to your working directory. The
configuration manager names each copy after the component, with the suffix of
the derived object appended. If the component's name ends in a file extension,
the configuration manager strips off that extension first. Thus, the preceding
example might result in a file called alpha.bin in the working directory.
The -link option exports links to the derived objects, instead of actual copies.
The links point to the objects in the binary pool. However, since objects in the
pool may be deleted periodically (as part of the configuration manager's usual
clean-up procedures), you should use links only for short-term access to derived
objects.
The -into pathname option specifies a pathname prefix for the exported copies or
links. For example, an export of component msg_db into file //node6/db might
export an object called //node6/db.bin. If pathname refers to a directory, the
configuration manager applies the usual naming convention for exported objects,
but redirects the object to the specified directory (for example,
//node6/db/msg_db.bin).
Use the -r option to overwrite existing copies or links.
The -from file_suffix option exports only those derived objects that have the
specified filename suffix (.bin, .pr, .fmt, and so on).
The -select build_unit_specifier clause causes the configuration manager to
export the specified subcomponent used in the named build rather than the build
itself.
The -read option opens one read pane for each readable derived object associated
with the specified build. If you specify both the -read and -from options, only
those derived objects that have the filename suffix specified in the -from
clause are displayed.
Options:
-link Exports links to the derived objects, instead
of copies.
-into pathname Specifies a pathname prefix for the exported
objects.
-r Overwrites existing copies or links.
-from file_suffix Exports only those derived objects with the
specified file suffix.
-select build_unit_specifier Causes DSEE to export the specified subcom-
ponent used in the named build rather than the
build itself.
-read Opens one read pane for each readable derived
object associated with the specified build.
