Previous: Switches for gnatchop, Up: Renaming Files with gnatchop [Contents][Index]
$ gnatchop -w hello_s.ada prerelease/files
Chops the source file hello_s.ada. The output files will be
placed in the directory prerelease/files,
overwriting any
files with matching names in that directory (no files in the current
directory are modified).
$ gnatchop archive
Chops the source file archive
into the current directory. One
useful application of gnatchop is in sending sets of sources
around, for example in email messages. The required sources are simply
concatenated (for example, using a Unix cat
command), and then
`gnatchop' is used at the other end to reconstitute the original
file names.
$ gnatchop file1 file2 file3 direc
Chops all units in files file1, file2, file3, placing
the resulting files in the directory direc. Note that if any units
occur more than once anywhere within this set of files, an error message
is generated, and no files are written. To override this check, use the
`-w' switch,
in which case the last occurrence in the last file will
be the one that is output, and earlier duplicate occurrences for a given
unit will be skipped.
