status
Synopsis
qbs status [options] [config:configuration-name]
Description
Lists all the files in the project directory and shows whether they are known to Qbs in the respective configuration.
Options
--build-directory|-d <directory>
Specifies a <directory>
where build artifacts are stored.
The default value is the current directory unless preferences.defaultBuildDirectory
is set.
Relative paths will be interpreted relative to the current directory.
You can use the following special values as placeholders:
@project
is expanded to the name of the project file excluding the extension.qbs
.@path
is expanded to the name of the directory containing the project file.
--settings-dir <directory>
Reads all settings (such as profile information) from the specified <directory>
. If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
The default value is system-specific. For example:
- Linux:
$HOME/.config/QtProject/qbs
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\QtProject\qbs
- macOS:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/qbs
Parameters
config:configuration-name
Specifies the build configuration to use.
The debug
and release
configuration names imply the respective build variant. A debug build contains additional debug symbols that are needed for debugging the application but that can be left out from the release version. Generally, debug builds are used for testing and release builds for creating the final installation file.
The build variant can also be specified explicitly by using the qbs.buildVariant property.
When naming configurations created for special purposes, follow the rules for legal names generally used in programming languages:
- The first character must be a letter (a-z), an underscore (_), or a dollar sign ($).
- Subsequent characters may be letters, digits, underscores, or dollar signs.
