PMKSYNTAX(5)
NAME
PMK Syntax -- PMK files syntax manual
DESCRIPTION
This manual page describe the basic syntax used in PMK files such as
pmkfile and scanfile
DATA TYPES
PMK uses pseudo types like the following:
- bool The classical boolean type with TRUE and FALSE values.
- For example:
TRUE
FALSE - identifier An identifier is a string of alphanumerical and underscores
- characters.
- For example:
REQUIRED
a_label
underscores_are_nice - quoted This means quoted string which can contain a set of charac
- ters delimited by quotation marks.
- For examples:
"simple quoted string"
"string that contain \"quotes\" backslashed"
"can also contain filenames like pmkfile.scan" - list It is one or more of the previous types between brackets.
- Multiple objects are separated with a comma. Blanks are currently not allowed beside commas, this means that you can
find them only in a quoted string of the list. - For example:
("only_one_string")
("added a boolean",TRUE)
(mixed_list_of,"words","and",TRUE,"quoted strings")
BASIC SYNTAX
PMK can contain comments, blank lines and commands.
- A command has the following format (? character means optional field):
- <command><?(label)> {
<body>
- }
- The command and label names can be assimilated to the 'word' type. See
DATA TYPES above. - The body can contain comment(s) and definition line(s). A commented line start with a '#' character like the following:
# this is a comment line- A definition line has the following format:
<?blank><key name><?blank>=<?blank><key value>- The key name is of identifier type.
- The key value type can be 'bool', 'quoted' or 'list'. The right type
will depend on the key name (see further). - For example:
CHECK_INCLUDE(header_sys_param) {# following options use different uses of blank characters # key value is word type
REQUIRED = TRUE
# key value is list type
DEPEND= ("dep_one",dep_two,"dep_three")
# key value is quoted type
INCLUDE = "sys/param.h"- }
