Ulm's Oberon System:
obco


NAME

obco - check out Oberon sources

SYNOPSIS

obco [-a auth] {-b basedir} [-D] [-M] {module}

DESCRIPTION

obco loads the sources of one or more Oberon modules from the compiler database (CDB) into the current directory. Downloaded source files will be named after their module name and end with ``.od'' (in case of definitions) or ``.om'' (in case of modules).

Following options are supported by obco:

-a authfile
specifies a file containing a persistent object of type Shards.Lid that is to be used for authorization.
-b basedir
defines the base path of the compiler data base (CDB). Default is /pub/cdb/oberon. Any number of base directories can be specified. Multiple base directories are combined using TranslucentNames, i.e. they are layered in a way where the last CDB tree takes precedence over the previous trees.
-D
Just check out the definitions but not the modules.
-M
Check out the modules but not the definitions.

ENVIRONMENT

Following environment parameters allow to override the builtin defaults:
CDB_AUTH
default path of the authorization file.
CDB_BASEDIR
default path of CDB within the Oberon name space.

SEE ALSO

cdbd
daemon running CDB.
