The sconsign command displays the contents of one or more .sconsign files specified by the user.
By default, sconsign dumps the entire contents of the specified file(s). Each entry is printed in the following format:
file: signature timestamp length implicit_dependency_1: signature timestamp length implicit_dependency_2: signature timestamp length action_signature [action string]
None is printed in place of any missing timestamp, bsig, or csig values for any entry or any of its dependencies. If the entry has no implicit dependencies, or no build action, the lines are simply omitted.
By default,
sconsign
assumes that any
file
arguments that end with a
.dbm
suffix contains
signature entries for
more than one directory
(that is,
was specified by the
SConsignFile ()
function).
Any
file
argument that does not end in
.dbm
is assumed to be a traditional
.sconsign
file containing the signature entries
for a single directory.
An explicit format
may be specified using the
-f
or
--file=
options.
Various options control what information is printed and the format:
Prints the build action information for all entries or the specified entries.
Prints the content signature (csig) information for all entries or the specified entries.
When the signatures are being
read from a
.dbm
file, or the
-f dbm
or
--format=dbm
options are used,
prints information about
only the signatures
for entries in the specified
DIRECTORY.
Prints information about only the specified ENTRY. Multiple -e options may be used, in which case information about each ENTRY is printed in the order in which the options are specified on the command line.
The file(s) to be printed are in the specified FORMAT. Legal values are dbm (the DBM format used when the SConsignFile() function is used) or sconsign (the default format used for an individual .sconsign file in each directory).
Prints a help message and exits.
Prints the list of cached implicit dependencies for all entries or the the specified entries.
Prints a pretty-printed representation of the raw Python dictionary that holds build information about individual entry (both the entry itself or its implicit dependencies). An entry's build action is still printed in its usual format.
Prints timestamps in a human-readable string, enclosed in single quotes.
Prints the timestamp information for all entries or the specified entries.
Prints labels identifying each field being printed.
