NAME af - Command line tool for alienfile VERSION version 0.07 SYNOPSIS af download --help af install --help af requires --help af missing --help af prop --help af list --help DESCRIPTION The af command is a command line interface to alienfile and Alien::Build. options These options are available for all subcommands. --help Print the help for either af as a whole, or the specific subcommand. --version Print the version of af and exit. SUBCOMMANDS download Usage af download [ ( -f | --file ) alienfile | ( -c | --class ) class ] [ ( -l | --local ) directory ] description Download the external resource using the usual alienfile logic. File will be deposited in the directory indicated by the --local (or -l) option, or the current working directory if not specified. options -f | --file The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then alienfile in the current directory will be assumed. -c | --class Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as simply curl. -l | --local The location to store the downloaded resource. The current directory if not specified. install Usage af install [ ( -f | --file ) alienfile | ( -c | --class ) class ] [ --prefix directory | --dry-run ] [ --stage directory ] [ --type ( share | system ) ] [ --root directory ] [ --before hook command ] [ --after hook command ] [ -I lib ] [ --blib ] description Install or reinstall using the given alienfile or already installed Alien. options -f | --file The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then alienfile in the current directory will be assumed. -c | --class Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as simply curl. If you do not specify the --prefix option, the package will replace the already installed one. --stage The stage directory. By default this is a temporary directory that will automatically be removed. --prefix The final install location to use. Required when using the -f option, but optional when using the -c option. --type Override the install type. May be either share or system. --dry-run Do not install into the final location. --root Build in root --before Execute the given command before the given hook. Note that the same hook my execute several times for a given recipe. Example, to open up an interactive shell before the build has started, right after the extraction: % af install --before build bash The build configuration is check pointed, so you can read the install and runtime properties in the state.json file in the build root. Use * or % as the hook to run the command before all hooks. You can use :repl as the command to open up a Perl REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) to inspect the $build and $meta objects. --after Execute the given command after the given hook. Note that the same hook my execute several times for a given recipe. Example, to open up an interactive shell after the build has completed: % af install --after build bash The build configuration is check pointed, so you can read the install and runtime properties in the state.json file in the build root. Use * or % as the hook to run the command before all hooks. You can use :repl as the command to open up a Perl REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) to inspect the $build and $meta objects. -I Add directory to the Perl search lib (like -I on perl). --blib Use the blib from the current directory. requires Usage af requires [ ( -f | --file ) alienfile | ( -c | --class ) class ] [ ( -p | --phase ) ( configure | any | share | system ) ] description Print the requirements for the given phase in YAML format. If the phase is not provided, then requirements for all phases will be printed separately in YAML format. options -f | --file The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then alienfile in the current directory will be assumed. -c | --class Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as simply curl. -p | --phase The phase of the requirement. Please refer to the Alien::Build documentation for the meaning of the various phases. missing Usage af missing [ ( -f | --file ) alienfile | ( -c | --class ) class ] [ ( -p | --phase ) ( configure | any | share | system ) ] description Print the requirements for the given phase in list format that are not currently fulfilled. This output can be piped into cpanm in order to install any missing requirements: % af missing -p configure | cpanm % af missing | cpanm If no phase is specified, then missing prereqs for configure, and either share or system will be printed depending on what type of install is detected (for this to work you may need to install the configure prereqs, since the probe may use configure required modules). options -f | --file The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then alienfile in the current directory will be assumed. -c | --class Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as simply curl. -p | --phase The phase of the requirement. Please refer to the Alien::Build documentation for the meaning of the various phases. prop Usage af prop ( -c | --class ) class [ --cflags ] [ --libs ] [ --static ] [ --modversion ] [ --bin-dir ] prop Print the runtime properties for the given Alien class. You may omit the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be queried as simply curl. If no specific properties are requested then the entire runtime property hash will be printed in YAML format. options -c | --class The class to query for runtime properties. This option is required. --cflags Print the compiler flags --libs Print the linker flags --static For either the --cflags or --libs option print the static versions. --modversion Print the version of the Alienized package. This is not the version of the Alien module itself. --bin-dir Print the list of directories bundled with a share install. list Usage af list [ -l | --long ] prop Print list of Alien modules already installed that used Alien::Build as their installer. options -l | --long Also print the version number of the Alien module, and the version of the alienized package.
