SBINIT(5) — FILE FORMATS

NAME

SYNOPSIS

sbinit

DESCRIPTION

.sbinit is a text file used by Sun SourceBrowser to obtain information about the SourceBrowser database structure. SourceBrowser’s default is to build its database in the current working directory; then search in that database when you issue a query. You will use .sbinit if you want to work with source files whose database information is stored in multiple directories. The .sbinit file is limited to the three commands described in the next section.

COMMANDS

The Import command

This command reads databases in directories other than the current working directory used by SourceBrowser. The Import command has this form

Import <path>

where path is the path to the directory that contains the subdirectory containing the database you want to import.

The Export command

This command writes databases associated with specified source files to directories other than the current working directories used by SourceBrowser and the compiler. The export command has this form

export <prefix> into <path>

Whenever the compiler processes a source file whose absolute path starts with prefix the resulting browser data (.bd) file will be stored in <path>. The export command contains an implied import command.

The Split command

This command improves performance when working with large programs. The split command has this form

split <size>

where <size> is the size in bytes of the database index when the database will be split by SourceBrowser.

EXAMPLE

import /project/source2

export /usr/include into /project/sys

split 1000000
