swshrink.8


SYNOPSIS

       swshrink <package-name>


DESCRIPTION

       Over  the  past  few years, more and more software packages come with a
       "<name>-config" script  meant  to  help  building  dependant  packages.
       While  such  scripts  do  simplify things, they also make keeping inter
       package dependencies tidy much more difficult as  they  typically  give
       out  the  real  prefix  of the package, something that needs to be kept
       hidden.  The swshrink utility looks for files matching  "*-config"  and
       optionally   creates  a  wrapper  for  them.   It  requires  that  both
       SWPKG_SOURCE and SWPKG_NAME to  be  set.   This  is  normally  done  by
       swbuild(8).


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SWPKG_NAME
              Package name.

       SWPKG_SOURCE
              Source directory for packages.


EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0      No wrapper was created.

       1      One or more wrappers were created.

       2      An error occured.
