NAME
ecppc - compiler for ecpp
SYNOPSIS
ecppc [-bhszvtM] [-s-] [-o filename] [-n name] [-m mimetype] [--mimetypes filename] [-I dir] [-l log-category] filename
ecppc -bb filename...
DESCRIPTION
Ecppc is the compiler for the ecpp-language. Ecpp is a template-language, which lets the user embed C++-code into HTML for use in tntnet
(8). Ecppc generates a C++-class from a ecpp-template. It can also compile binary data into a C++-class, which makes it possible to inte-
grate them in a tntnet-application.
OPTIONS
-b This enables binary-mode. Ecppc does not look for ecpp-tags, but creates a class, which just copies the data
-bb This enables multi-binary-mode. Every binary-file has some overhead, when packed into a tntnet-application. This overhead can be
quite significant, when binary-files are small, like small icons in a web application. To reduce this overhead, multiple binaries
can be packed into a single class, which removes the per-binary overhead completely.
When the component is called, it uses the path-info-parameter (request.getPathInfo()) from the request, to decide, which binary to
send. If no filename matches the path-info, processing is declined. The binaries need not be of same mime-type, since the mime-
type is looked automatically from the mime-database by file-extension of the source-file.
-I dir Search include-files in directory. This option can be passed multiple times. All specified directories are searched in turn for
include-files.
-l log-category
Set log category. Default is "component.componentname".
-L Disable generation of #line-directives
-m mimetype
Set mimetype of output. This is the mimetype, sent by the component to the browser in the Content-Type-header. Without this param-
eter the mimetype is looked up from the mime-database of your system using the file-extension of the source-file.
--mimetypes file
Read mimetypes from file (default: /etc/mime.types).
-M This disables normal processing and prints just the ecpp-dependencies from this component. The output can be included into a Make-
file. Ecpp-dependencies are introduces by the <%include>-tag.
-n name
Set the name of the component. Normally this is derived from the source-file-name by removing the path and .ecpp-extension.
-o filename
Write the generated file to the specified file instead of deriving the filename from the source-file-name. The outputfilename is
normally the source-file where the extension is replaced by .cpp.
-p Keep path name when deriving name of component from input file name.
-s Generate singleton. Normally ecppc decides automatically, if the template is suitable for a singleton. This option force ecppc to
generate a singleton.
-s- Do not generate a singleton.
-v Enable verbose mode. This prints additional information about the processing on the standard-output.
-z Compress the data in the component. Compressed data is automatically decopressed on first use. This reduces the code-size, but
slightly slows down the first call of the component.
