Introduction

grinc runs an include file preprocessor on one or more files, writing the result to an output file (or standard output). It uses the Grizzled::FileUtil::Includer class in the Grizzled Ruby gem.

For a complete description, see the man page.

It can be installed as a gem.

Installation

From RubyGems.org

grinc is a published gem. To install, make sure rubygems is installed, then run this command. (You may need to run it as root, depending on your permissions, whether you’re using rvm, etc.)

$ gem install grinc

From source

First, ensure that you have both rubygems and rake installed. Then, either clone the git repository or download the source and unpack it. Then:

$ cd grinc
$ rake install

Documentation

The man page is available on this site, but it is also installed with the gem. If you install the gem-man gem, you can read the man page with:

$ gem man grinc

If you alias your man command, as follows, then gem manual pages will be seamlessly integrated into your regular system manual pages:

$ alias man='gem man -s'
$ man ls    # works!
$ man grinc # works!
