8.5.3 Gnatdist Command Line Options

po_gnatdist [switches] configuration-file [list-of-partitions]

The switches of po_gnatdist are, for the time being, exactly the same as those of gnatmake, with the addition of --PCS, which allows the user to override the default selection of distribution runtime library (PCS). By default po_gnatdist outputs a configuration report and the actions performed. The switch -n allows po_gnatdist to skip the first stage of recompilation of the non-distributed application.

The names of all configuration files must have the suffix .cfg. There may be several configuration files for the same distributed application, as the user may want to use different distributed configurations depending on load and other characteristics of the computing environment.

If a list of partitions is provided on the command line of the po_gnatdist command, only these partitions will be built. In the following configuration example, the user can type :

po_gnatdist <configuration> <partition_2> <partition_3>
