NAME

       maria-cso - shared library generator for maria

SYNOPSIS

       maria-cso directory library.so file.c...
       maria-cso directory library.so file.c

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the maria-cso command.

       maria-cso  is  a  shell	script	invoked  by maria in order to compile generated C code into dynamically loadable shared object files.  The
       script invokes the C compiler and the linker, and it calculates checksums in order to avoid compiling unmodified modules.
       The directory argument specifies the location of the source files.  When the script is invoked with one file.c argument, it translates  the
       file to the shared object library.so.
       When maria-cso is invoked with multiple file.c arguments, it computes a checksum of a file named multiset.h and of each argument.  When the
       header file multiset.h has been changed since the previous invocation of maria-cso, everything will be recompiled.   Otherwise  only  those
       file.c modules that have been modified will be recompiled.  The checksum files are multiset.sum and c.sum.
