phrep(1) Manual Page

<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>phrep -
Macro preprocessor for PHP scripts
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>phrep</strong> [<em>-OPTIONS</em>] <strong>-i</strong> <em>input.php</em> [<strong>-o</strong> <em>output.php</em>]</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <strong>phrep</strong> command applies <strong>#define</strong>, <strong>#include</strong>, <strong>#if</strong>, <strong>#else</strong>, <strong>#endif</strong>
and other C-style preprocessing directives for PHP scripts. It also
replaces collected constants and macros within <strong><?php</strong> code sections, then
outputs the resulting source code. Other comments and the code structure
are preserved.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It provides some command-line similarity to <strong>cpp</strong><em>(1)</em> and further syntax
compatibility with <strong>preprocess</strong><em>(1)</em>.py and <strong>phpp</strong><em>(1)</em>. It can read most
C/C++ header <strong>.h</strong> files or doubly-escaped <strong>// #directives</strong>. Whereas the
<strong>#if</strong> <em>expr</em> syntax is closer to PHP.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Option arguments can be space-separated <strong>-o</strong> <em>arg</em>, adjoined <strong>-o</strong><em>arg</em>,
or use an equal sign <strong>-o</strong>=<em>arg</em>.</p></div>
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-i</strong> <em>file.php</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Reads the input PHP script to be processed. There’s no requirement
as to the specific file extension being used. For Makefiles or other
build systems a <em>*.phpp</em> extension or <em>*.p.php</em> might make sense.
<strong>phrep</strong> only processes one file at a time.
If <strong>-i</strong><em>-</em> is used instead of a filename, then standard input is read instead.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-o</strong> <em>output.php</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
When specified, writes the converted source file to a specific name.
One can also use <strong>-o-</strong> to write it to standard output (that’s the
default anyway). With <strong>-oi</strong> or <strong>-o</strong><em>input</em> the original input file is
overwritten. Whereas <strong>-o</strong><em>target</em> is a magic name that can be set from
within proccessed files via <strong>#pragma(</strong><em>target</em>=<code>bld/targetfn.php</code><strong>)</strong>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-f</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Force overwriting of output file. Which phrep doesn’t do per default,
unless <strong>-oi</strong> or <strong>-oinput</strong> was specified.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-D</strong> <em>CONST=VAL</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Predefines a constant or a macro. Constants simply take the form
<em>NAME=1.2.3</em> for substition values, or just <strong>-D</strong> <em>FLAG</em> for options
that are just probed in <strong>#ifdef</strong> or <strong>#ifndef</strong> directives.
Whereas macros require arguments in parens <em>DIV(x,y)=x/y</em>. And often
you’d want to enclose this option in quotes to avoid shell substitution.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-I</strong> <em>lib/inc/</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Adds a directory to the search path for <strong>#include <fn></strong> directives.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-I</strong> <em>preload.inc</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If an existing file is given as <strong>-I</strong> argument, then that’s read before
the main input. It’ll however just be used to collect constants and
macros, but will not be prepended or generate output.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-w</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Suppress all warning messages.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-W</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Turn all warnings into errors instead, and stop execution.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-m</strong> <em>token</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The constant/macro substitution phase is context-sensitive per default.
It will only replace constants within <strong><?php</strong> code sections.
</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
The alternative <strong>-m</strong> <em>regex</em> mode however will replace constants
irrespective of that (in raw HTML areas before PHP code, in strings,
in comments; really everywhere).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You can define custom delimiters with <strong>-m</strong> "<em>regex [[ ]]</em>" to constrain
that. Thus constants would only be replaced where written as <code>[[DEFNAME]]</code>
or macros enclosed as <code>[[HTML_INPUT(text,title,href]]</code> for example.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Or use predefined constant delimiters <em>%{</em> and <em>}</em> with <strong>-m erb</strong>,
or in the <strong>-m phpp</strong> mode <em>{{{</em> and <em>}}}</em> for example.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-k</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Keep empty lines in place for <strong>#include</strong> or <strong>#define</strong> and <strong>#if</strong> etc
directives.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-p</strong> <em>opt=val</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set further processing (<strong>#pragma</strong>) options.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-E</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
NOP.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-v</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
NOP.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-V</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Print program version number.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-h</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Outputs a short help page and option summary.
</p>

<h2 id="X1">DIRECTIVES (No! They’re not <em>hashtags</em>)</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Preprocessing <strong>#directives</strong> are mostly in-line
with their CPP equivalents. They must be noted leftmost in source code.

<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>#define</strong> <em>CONSTANT</em>

<strong>#define</strong> <em>CONSTANT</em> <em>VALUE</em>

<p>
Value literals can be interpolated in <strong><?php</strong> sections later. The value
can be string or number, or often a version number. To use them in PHP
code sections it’s sensible to enquote <em>"strings"</em> already.

<strong>#define</strong> <em>MACRO(x,y)</em> <em>(2*x+3*y)</em>

Checks for a declared identifier. If it’s undefined, then following

The <strong>defined()</strong> function tests for existing constants within
arbitrary expressions. A few PHP more functions like <strong>strpos</strong>,

Files are searched among the <strong>-I</strong> include dirs, when relative paths
