Saturn The PSYMAKE Utility 15-5
Psy-Q Development System
Executing commands:
Once the commands to execute have been determined, PSYMAKE will search for
and invoke the command. Search order is:
• current directory;
• directories in the path.
If the command cannot be found as A.EXE or A.COM file or the command is A.BAT
file, PSYMAKE will invoke COMMAND.COM to execute the command/batch
file. This enables commands like CD and DEL to be used.
Command prefixes:
The commands in a dependency or implicit rule command list, may optionally be
prefixed with the following qualifiers :
@ - suppress printing of command before execution
- number - abort if exit status exceeds specified level
- - (without number) ignore exit status (never abort)
• Normally, unless /q is specified on the command line, PSYMAKE will print a
command before executing it. If the command is prefixed by @, it will not be
printed.
• If a command is prefixed with a hyphen followed by a number, PSYMAKE will
abort if the command returns an error code greater than the specified number.
• If a command is prefixed with a hyphen without a number, PSYMAKE will not
abort if the command returns an error code.
• If neither a hyphen or a hyphen+number is specified, and /i is not specified on the
command line, PSYMAKE will abort if the command returns an error code other
than 0.
