3.1 Overview of via files
Via files are plain text files that allow you to specify librarian command-line arguments and options.
Typically, you use a via file to overcome the command-line length limitations. However, you might want to create multiple via files that:
- Group similar arguments and options together.
- Contain different sets of arguments and options to be used in different scenarios.
Note
In general, you can use a via file to specify any command-line
option to a tool, including
--via. This means that you
can call multiple nested via files from within a via file.Via file evaluation
When the librarian is invoked it:
- Replaces the first specified
--viaargument with the sequence of argument words extracted from the via file, including recursively processing any nestedvia_file--viacommands in the via file. - Processes any subsequent
--viaarguments in the same way, in the order they are presented.via_file
That is, via files are processed in the order you specify
them, and each via file is processed completely including processing
nested via files before processing the next via file.
