This is usually useful for maintaining source code for -different machine architectures. You create a shadow directory -containing links to the real source, which you will have usually -mounted from a remote machine. You can build in the shadow tree, and -the object files will be in the shadow directory, while the -source files in the shadow directory are just symlinks to the real -files. -.PP -This scheme has the advantage that if you update the source, you need not -propagate the change to the other architectures by hand, since all -source in all shadow directories are symlinks to the real thing: just cd -to the shadow directory and recompile away. -.PP -The -.I todir -argument is optional and defaults to the current directory. The -.I fromdir -argument may be relative (e.g., ../src) and is relative to -.I todir -(not the current directory). -.PP -.\" CVS.adm is used by the Concurrent Versions System. -Note that BitKeeper, RCS, SCCS, .svn, CVS and CVS.adm directories are -shadowed only if the \fB\-withrevinfo\fP flag is specified. -.PP -If you add files, simply run -.I lndir -again. New files will be silently added. Old files will be -checked that they have the correct link. -.PP -Deleting files is a more painful problem; the symlinks will -just point into never never land. -.PP -If a file in \fIfromdir\fP is a symbolic link, \fIlndir\fP will make -the same link in \fItodir\fP rather than making a link back to the -(symbolic link) entry in \fIfromdir.\fP The \fB\-ignorelinks\fP flag -changes this behavior. -.SH OPTIONS -.IP \-silent -Normally \fIlndir\fP outputs the name of each subdirectory as it -descends into it. The \fB\-silent\fP option suppresses these status -messages. -.IP \-ignorelinks -Causes the program to not treat symbolic links in \fIfromdir\fP -specially. The link created in \fItodir\fP will point back to the -corresponding (symbolic link) file in \fIfromdir\fP. -If the link is to a directory, this is almost certainly the wrong thing. -.IP -This option exists mostly to emulate the behavior the C version of -\fIlndir\fP had in X11R6. Its use is not recommended. -.IP \-withrevinfo -Causes any BitKeeper, RCS, SCCS, .svn, CVS and CVS.adm subdirectories to be -treated as any other directory, rather than ignored. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -The program displays the name of each subdirectory it enters, followed -by a colon. The \fB\-silent\fP option suppresses these messages. -.PP -A warning message is displayed if the symbolic link cannot be created. -The usual problem is that a regular file of the same name already -exists. -.PP -If the link already exists but doesn't point to the correct file, the -program prints the link name and the location where it does point. |
