NAME
       ppdep - The FPC Pascal unit dependency tracking program.


SYNOPSIS
       ppdep [-DDefine] [-oFile] [-eext] [-V] [-h] [A[call]] file


Description
       ppdep dumps the dependencies of a unit in  a  format  that
       can  be  understood  by  GNU make output. It takes care of
       dependencies both in the interface and implemntation  sec-
       tion of the unit, and it can handle conditional defines.


Usage
       You  can  invoke  ppdep with as the only required argument
       the name of the file (program or unit)  whose  dependecies
       you  wish to list. You don't need to specify an extension,
       by default .pp is assumed.


Options
       ppdep has several options, which are case insensitive:


       -acall This option tells ppdep to generate a compiler call
              for  the makefile. The compiler call will be gener-
              ated for each file that is  found  in  the  current
              directory.  If  you  do no specify an explicit com-
              piler call, ppc386 is used.

       -dkeyword
              This option defines keyword
               that can be used to  verify  conditional  defines.
              ppdep  understands  conditional defines, you should
              use this switch if the uses clause of the  programs
              or units can contain conditional defines.

       -eext  This  allows  you  to specify a different extension
              for the unit files.  By default, .ppu  is  assumed.
              This extension is written to the makefile.

       -f[call]
              This option tells ppdep to generate a compiler call
              for the makefile. The compiler call will be  gener-
              ated  only  for  the file that was specified on the
              ppdep command line. If you want to generate a  com-
              piler  call for each file found, use the -a option.
              If you do no specify  an  explicit  compiler  call,
              ppc386 is used.

       -h     Shows a short help screen.

       -ofile This  option  allows you to specify a file to which
              the dependencies should be written. By default  the
              dependencies  are  written  to standard output.  If
              you specify this option, the dependencies are writ-
              ten to file

              instead.

       -v     Writes  some  diagnostic  messages. If you use this
              option, be sure to use -o as well, since the  diag-
              nostic  messages  will  also be written to standard
              output.
