mk

Simple text preprocessor for content segmentation.

Installation

With cargo

cargo install --git https://github.com/x0k/mk.git

With nix profile

nix profile install github:x0k/mk

Syntax

mkfile content:

common content

foo:
    foo segment start

# segment with a dependency
bar: foo
    bar segment content

# multiple segment definition
foo:
    foo segment end

$ mk bar | cat output:

common content

foo segment start

# segment with a dependency
bar segment content

# multiple segment definition
foo segment end

That's all.

Input

• Content can be specified via std in or input files.
• By default, input file names should begin with Mkfile or mkfile.
• Files are read in lexicographic order.
• The contents of the files are concatenated.

Output

• By default, a temporary file will be created and executed.
• If you pipe the program to something then the std out will be used.

Syntax sugar

Groups

• / at the end of the segment name defines a group.
• / at the beginning of the dependency name indicates that name should be left as is.

foo:
    foo content

group/:
    pushd folder

    bar: /foo
        bar segment content

    baz: bar
        baz segment content

    popd

Desugared:

foo:
    foo content

group:
    pushd folder

group/bar: foo group
    bar segment content

group/baz: group/bar group
    baz segment content

group:
    popd

Glob pattern in dependencies list

• glob implementation.

l/lib1/build:
    build lib1

l/lib2/build:
    build lib2

app: l/*/build
    build app

Desugared:

l/lib1/build:
    build lib1

l/lib2/build:
    build lib2

app: l/lib1/build l/lib2/build
    build app
