ppdep(1)	     Free Pascal unit dependency tracking	      ppdep(1)

NAME
       ppdep - The FPC Pascal unit dependency tracking program.

SYNOPSIS
       ppdep [-DDefine] [-oFile] [-eext] [-V] [-h] [A[call]] file

Description
       ppdep  dumps  the dependencies of a unit in a format that can be under‐
       stood by GNU make. It writes these dependencies to standard output.  It
       takes  care  of	dependencies  both in the interface and implementation
       section of the unit, and it can handle conditional defines.

Usage
       You can invoke ppdep with as the only required argument the name of the
       file  (program  or  unit) whose dependecies you wish to list. You don't
       need to specify an extension, by default .pp is assumed.

Options
       ppdep has several options, which are case insensitive:

       -acall This option tells ppdep to generate  a  compiler	call  for  the
	      makefile. The compiler call will be generated for each file that
	      is found in the current directory.  If  you  do  no  specify  an
	      explicit compiler call, ppc386 is used.

       -dkeyword
	      This  option  defines  keyword that can be used to verify condi‐
	      tional defines.	ppdep  understands  conditional	 defines,  you
	      should  use  this	 switch	 if the uses clause of the programs or
	      units can contain conditional defines.

       -eext  This allows you to specify a different extension	for  the  unit
	      files.   By  default, .ppu is assumed. This extension is written
	      to the makefile.

       -f[call]
	      This option tells ppdep to generate  a  compiler	call  for  the
	      makefile.	 The compiler call will be generated only for the file
	      that was specified on the ppdep command line.  If	 you  want  to
	      generate a compiler call for each file found, use the -a option.
	      If you do no specify an explicit compiler call, ppc386 is used.

       -h     Shows a short help screen.

       -ofile This option allows you to specify a file to which the  dependen‐
	      cies  should be written. By default the dependencies are written
	      to standard output.  If you specify this option,	the  dependen‐
	      cies are written to file

	      instead.

       -v     Writes some diagnostic messages. If you use this option, be sure
	      to use -o as well, since the diagnostic messages	will  also  be
	      written to standard output.
