target_depot will be created. If the depot already exists, you
must specify the advanced option -x
allow_existing_depot=true and understand its
implications. (See also the -x allow_existing_depot option
in Extended Options).
-q The verbosity level is decreased by one each time -q is specified.
(See also the -x verbosity option.)
-v The verbosity level is increased by one each time -v is specified.
(See also the -x verbosity option.)
-? Displays general usage.
-option -? Describes the legal values for this option. If option is -x, all
possible extended options are listed for the specified major
mode. If no major mode is given, all extended options are listed
for all the major modes.
-x option=value Sets the extended option to a value. See the Extended Options
definitions below.
-x option=-? Describes the legal values for this extended option.
-X option_file Gets the extended options from option_file. For a description
and examples of syntax for this file, see the
/etc/opt/swa/swa.conf.template file.
Extended Options
The extended options may be specified in different ways: on the command line using the -x option,
in an option file specified using the -X option, or in one of the configuration files
/etc/opt/swa/swa.conf (system wide) or $HOME/.swa.conf (user-specific). The
/etc/opt/swa/swa.conf.template file provides example syntax for a configuration or -X
file.
If the same option is given in multiple locations, the following order is prioritized from highest to
lowest:
1. Options specified on the command line
2. Options specified within an option file (-X option_file)
3. Proxy environment variables (See the Environment Variable section.)
4. Options specified within the $HOME/.swa.conf file
5. Options specified within the /etc/opt/swa/swa.conf file
6. Default value, specified in the descriptions of each option below in
option_name=default_value format.
Note: If the same option or extended option is given multiple times in the same location, the last
option takes effect. If the option has a single letter equivalent (for example, -v and -x verbosity)
and both are used on the command line, the single letter option generally takes precedence. If the
single letter option affects an extended option that takes a list of arguments, specifying the single
letter option multiple times will append to the list.
swa step recognizes the following -x (extended) options, which are shown with their default
values:
-x allow_existing_depot=false
Usage: Advanced
Applicable steps: download, depot
This option determines whether the target depot must be created or is an existing depot. SWA
does not perform any analysis of the depot contents. By specifying this option, you accept
responsibility for the contents of this depot.
