NAME

       mlpost - wrapper around OCaml and Metapost for the Mlpost library

SYNOPSIS

       mlpost [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       mlpost is a program that compiles OCaml files to PostScript or PDF files using the Mlpost library.

OPTIONS

       -pdf   Generate .mps files (default)

       -mp    Generate .mp files

       -png   Generate .png files

       -ps    Generate .1 files

       -latex <main.tex>
	      Scan the LaTeX prelude

       -eps   Generate encapsulated postscript files

       -xpdf  WYSIWYG mode using xpdf remote server (the name of the remote server is "mlpost")

       -v     Be a bit more verbose. Otherwise nothing is printed except in case of error.

       -ocamlbuild
	      Use ocamlbuild to compile

       -native
	      Compile to native code

       -ccopt <options>
	      Pass <options> to the Ocaml compiler

       -execopt <options>
	      Pass <options> to the compiled program

       -version
	      Print Mlpost version and exit

       -no-magic
	      Do not parse mlpost options, do not call Metapost.dump

       -depend
	      output dependency lines in a format suitable for the make(1) utility

       -contrib <contrib-name>
	      compile with the specified contrib

       -dumpable
	      output one name of dumpable file by line. So it print all the figures which will be created by the .ml file.

       -get-include-compile {cmxa|cma|dir|file}
	      output the libraries which are needed by the library Mlpost if you want not to use the mlpost tool :

		      - cmxa print the needed cmxa file (opt version)
		      - cma print the needed cma file (byte version)
		      - dir print the directories needed to be include
		      - file print the file name inside this directory without extension

       -compile-name <compile-name>
	      Keep the compiled version of the .ml file and name it <compile-name>.

       -dont-execute
	      Don't execute the mlfile. So mlpost generates no figures. With this option you can check that a file compile without wasting time to
	      generate the figures. The options -dont-execute and -compile-name can be used in conjunction to create  a  program  which  generates
	      some figures according to some command line options.

       -dont-clean
	      Don't remove intermediates files. The metapost backend use some intermediates files which are removed without this option.

       -cairo Use the cairo backend instead of metapost

       -t1disasm
	      Set the program used to decrypt PostScript Type 1 font, only with cairo (default built-in one). This option will disappear soon.

       -help, --help
	      Display the list of options

NAME

       ocamldebug - the OCaml source-level replay debugger.

SYNOPSIS

       ocamldebug [ options ] program [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

       ocamldebug is the OCaml source-level replay debugger.

       Before  the  debugger can be used, the program must be compiled and linked with the -g option: all .cmo and .cma files that are part of the
       program should have been created with ocamlc -g, and they must be linked together with ocamlc -g.

       Compiling with -g entails no penalty on the running time of programs: object files and bytecode executable files are bigger and take longer
       to produce, but the executable files run at exactly the same speed as if they had been compiled without -g.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options are included below.  For a complete description, see the html documentation in the ocaml-doc package.

       -c count
	      Set the maximum number of simultaneously live checkpoints to count.

       -cd dir
	      Run the debugger program from the working directory dir, instead of the current working directory. (See also the cd command.)

       -emacs Tell the debugger it is executed under Emacs.  (See The OCaml user's manual for information on how to run the debugger under Emacs.)

       -I directory
	      Add directory to the list of directories searched for source files and compiled files.  (See also the directory command.)

       -s socket
	      Use socket for communicating with the debugged program. See the description of the command set socket in The OCaml user's manual for
	      the format of socket.

       -version
	      Print version string and exit.

       -vnum  Print short version number and exit.

       -help or --help
	      Display a short usage summary and exit.
