NAME

   metaxref - builds cross-reference file/unit/item information

SYNOPSIS

   metaxref [ -dhkmsV ] [ -f manifest ] [ -L dir ]

DESCRIPTION

   Metaxref  is  a  program that scans all the files in your MANIFEST file
   and produces three files which contains information about how the files
   in that MANIFEST reference items defined by metaconfig's unit files.

   The first two files, I.fui and I.uif reference the file, unit and items
   sorted differently. The third  file,  Obsolete,  dumps  all  the  known
   obsolete  symbols,  in  which  file they appear and the new symbol that
   should be used instead.

   Note that obsolete symbols do not appear in  the  main  cross-reference
   files,  but  are  only  listed in the Obsolete file. That's yet another
   incentive to use the new symbols in your sources. :-)

OPTIONS

   Metaxref recognizes the following options:

   -d        Turn on debug mode.

   -f manifest
             Use an alternate manifest file.

   -h        Print help message and exit.

   -k        Keep temporary .MT directory.

   -m        Assume lots of memory and swap space. This  will  drastically
             improve  the  symbol lookup time in your source files, at the
             expense of memory usage.

   -s        Turn on silent mode.

   -L dir    Override  default  library  location  (where  the   U   units
             directory can be found).

   -V        Print version number and exit.

FILES

   LIB/dist/mcon/U/*.U
             Public unit files.
   U/*.U     Private unit files
   I.fui     Lists information sorted by file, unit and item.
   I.uif     Lists information sorted by unit, item and file.
   Obsolete  Lists all the obsolete symbols used by the sources.

                  where LIB is /usr/share/dist.

BUGS

   Metaxref  will  list  among  the  wanted  items all those magic symbols
   defined within units on the ?M: lines. Those  are  relevant  only  when
   metaconfig is invoked with the -M option.
