types filename] [-I dir] [-l log-category] filename
ecppc-bb filename ...
DESCRIPTIONecppc is the compiler for the ecpp-language. ecpp is a template lan‐
guage, which lets the user embed C++-code into HTML for use in tnt‐
net(8). ecppc generates a C++-class from a ecpp template. It can also
compile binary data into a C++-class, which makes it possible to inte‐
grate them in a tntnet application.
OPTIONS-b This enables binary-mode. Ecppc does not look for ecpp-tags, but
creates a class, which just copies the data
-bb This enables multi-binary-mode. Every binary-file has some over‐
head, when packed into a tntnet-application. This overhead can
be quite significant, when binary-files are small, like small
icons in a web application. To reduce this overhead, multiple
binaries can be packed into a single class, which removes the
per-binary overhead completely.
When the component is called, it uses the path-info-parameter
(request.getPathInfo()) from the request, to decide, which
binary to send. If no filename matches the path-info, processing
is declined. The binaries need not be of same mime-type, since
the mime-type is looked automatically from the mime-database by
file- extension of the source-file.
-i filename
In multi binary mode (option -bb) filenames can be read from the
file specified with this option. This can be useful when the
command line gets too long or just for convenience.
-I dir Search include-files in directory. This option can be passed
multiple times. All specified directories are searched in turn
for include-files.
-l log-category
Set log category. Default is component.componentname.
-L Disable generation of #line-directives
-m mimetype
Set mimetype of output. This is the mimetype, sent by the compo‐
nent to the browser in the Content-Type- header. Without this
parameter the mimetype is looked up from the mime-database of
your system using the file-extension of the source-file.
--mimetypes file
Read mimetypes from file (default: /etc/mime.types).
-M This disables normal processing and prints just the ecpp-depen‐
dencies from this component. The output can be included into a
Makefile. Ecpp-dependencies are introduces by the
<%include>-tag.
-n name
Set the name of the component. Normally this is derived from the
source-file-name by removing the path and .ecpp-extension.
-o filename
Write the generated file to the specified file instead of deriv‐
ing the filename from the source-file-name. The outputfilename
is normally the source-file where the extension is replaced by
.cpp.
-p Keep path name when deriving name of component from input file
name.
-s Generate singleton. Normally ecppc decides automatically, if the
template is suitable for a singleton. This option force ecppc
to generate a singleton.
-s- Do not generate a singleton.
-v Enable verbose mode. This prints additional information about
the processing on the standard-output.
-z Compress the data in the component. Compressed data is automati‐
cally decopressed on first use. This reduces the code-size, but
slightly slows down the first call of the component.
