ldecode - retrieve the original content encoded with lencode(1) within a open-lmake job
ldecode association_file context code
ldecode may be used to ask for a value (typically rather large) associated with a short code. This must have been generated using the command lencode(1) with the same association_file and context. The value corresponding to code is output on stdout.
It is an error if
|
• |
association_file is not a source (symbolic links are followed, though) | ||
|
• |
code cannot be found with the accompanying context |
Usage and use cases are more extensively documented the full open-lmake documentation.
|
(1) |
The same functionality is provided with the lmake.decode python function. | ||
|
(2) |
lencode(1) and ldecode are useful tools when the flow implies file names whose names are impractical. This is a way to transform long file names into much shorter ones by keeping an association file to retrieve long info from short codes. | ||
|
(3) |
Using this functionality may imply git(1) conflicts on the association file when several users independently create associations in their repos. This is fully dealt with and the only thing left to the user is to accept the resolution of the conflict without any action. |
