UPDATE-DISTCC-SYMLINKS(8) System Manager's Manual UPDATE-DISTCC-SYMLINKS(8)NAME
update-distcc-symlinks - update symlinks in /usr/lib/distcc
SYNOPSIS
update-distcc-symlinks
DESCRIPTION
update-distcc-symlinks creates and removes symlinks in /usr/lib/distcc. See the distcc man page for more information.
It is normally not necessary to run update-distcc-symlinks by hand as this is done automatically when compiler packages are removed or
installed.

distcc-pump - accelerate remote compilation with distcc
SYNOPSIS
distcc-pump BUILD-COMMAND [ARGS] ...
eval ` distcc-pump --startup `; BUILD-COMMAND [ARGS] ... ; distcc-pump --shutdown
DESCRIPTION
distcc-pump is part of distcc. It is used for distcc's pump mode. Distcc's pump mode accelerates remote compilation with distcc by also
distributing preprocessing to the servers.
For a detailed description of pump mode, including most notably some important restrictions, see the distcc(1) man page, in particular the
HOW PUMP-MODE WORKS section and the RESTRICTIONS ON PUMP MODE section.
The simplest usage is the form
distcc-pump COMMAND [ARG] ...
This will start an include server for distcc's "pump" mode; optionally run lsdistcc to compute the distcc host list; set some auxiliary
environment variables; change PATH to use the distcc client in the same directory as the "distcc-pump" script; execute COMMAND with the
specified ARG(s) ; and then shut down the include server. The COMMAND is typically a parallel build command, such as "make -j80", that
will do many concurrent invocations of distcc.
An alternative way of invoking distcc-pump is to explicitly invoke "distcc-pump --startup" to start the include server and "distcc-pump
--shutdown" to stop the include server. The "distcc-pump --startup" command will start up the include server, and will print out some
environment variable settings. These environment variables are used to communicate between the pump-mode "distcc" client and the include
server, and to communicate between "distcc-pump --startup" and "distcc-pump --shutdown". The caller of "distcc-pump --startup" is respon-
sible for setting those environment variables before invoking "distcc" or "distcc-pump --shutdown".
For example:
eval `distcc-pump --startup`
make -j80
distcc-pump --shutdown
Note that distcc's pump-mode assumes that sources files will not be
modified during the lifetime of the include server, so modifying source files during a build may cause inconsistent results.
INVOKING LSDISTCC
When invoked in either the simple " distcc-pump COMMAND [ARG] ... " form, or as " distcc-pump --startup ", the distcc-pump script will
invoke lsdistcc whenever DISTCC_POTENTIAL_HOSTS is set and DISTCC_HOSTS isn't. It will pass the value of DISTCC_POTENTIAL_HOSTS to
lsdistcc and use the output of lsdistcc to set DISTCC_HOSTS.
OPTIONS --help Displays summary instructions.
--startup
Starts an include server, and outputs the environment variable settings needed for distcc(1) or distcc-pump --shutdown to access it.
--shutdown
Shuts down an include server started up by distcc-pump --startup.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are all optional.
DISTCC_LOCATION
The location of the distcc bin directory, which is normally inferred from the link-resolved dirname of argv[0]. If this location is
in fact the bin directory inside an installation (as will be the case when the pump script in the installation executes), then
Python executables and distcc itself will be retrieved from the parent directory of the location.
DISTCC_POTENTIAL_HOSTS
The distcc servers that will be queried by lsdistcc in order to produce a value for DISTCC_HOSTS. This value may be unset or null.
In such cases, lsdistcc will not be invoked, and distcc will use DISTCC_HOSTS or the distcc hosts configuration file, as described
in the "Host Specifications" section of distcc(1).
DISTCC_HOSTS
This variable is passed through to distcc but only if DISTCC_POTENTIAL_HOSTS is not set.
LSDISTCC_ARGS
Extra arguments to pass to lsdistcc. See lsdistcc --help for more details.
INCLUDE_SERVER_ARGS
Extra arguments to pass to the include server.
PYTHONOPTIMIZE
If set to "", then Python optimization is disabled.
EXAMPLE
distcc-pump make -j20
