bdep-fetch - Man Page

bdep fetch [options] [--full|-F] [prj-spec] [cfg-spec]

cfg-spec = (@cfg-name | --config|-c cfg-dir)... | --all|-a
prj-spec = --directory|-d prj-dir

The fetch command fetches the list of packages available in the project's prerequisite/complement repositories in one or more build configurations.

If no project or package directory is specified, then the current working directory is assumed. If no configuration is specified, then the default configurations are assumed. See bdep-projects-configs(1) for details on specifying projects and configurations.

If the --full|-F option is specified, then instead fetch performs a full re-fetch of all the repositories added to the configuration. This mode is primarily useful when a configuration (and some of the prerequisite/complement repositories) are shared between several projects. In this situation an incremental fetch may result in an inconsistent repository state.

--full|-F

Perform a full re-fetch of all the repositories.

--all|-a

Use all build configurations.

--config|-c dir

Specify the build configuration as a directory.

--directory|-d dir

Assume project/package is in the specified directory rather than in the current working directory.

--config-name|-n name

Specify the build configuration as a name.

--config-id num

Specify the build configuration as an id.

The common options are summarized below with a more detailed description available in bdep-common-options(1).

-v

Print essential underlying commands being executed.

-V

Print all underlying commands being executed.

--quiet|-q

Run quietly, only printing error messages.

--verbose level

Set the diagnostics verbosity to level between 0 and 6.

--stdout-format format

Representation format to use for printing to stdout.

--jobs|-j num

Number of jobs to perform in parallel.

--progress

Display progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.

--no-progress

Suppress progress indicators for long-lasting operations, such as network transfers, building, etc.

--diag-color

Use color in diagnostics.

--no-diag-color

Don't use color in diagnostics.

--bpkg path

The package manager program to be used for build configuration management.

--bpkg-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the package manager program.

--build path

The build program to be used to build packages.

--build-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the build program.

--curl path

The curl program to be used for network operations.

--curl-option opt

Additional option to be passed to the curl program.

--pager path

The pager program to be used to show long text.

--pager-option opt

--default-options dir

The directory to load additional default options files from.

--no-default-options

Don't load default options files.

See bdep-default-options-files(1) for an overview of the default options files. For the fetch command the search start directory is the project directory. The following options files are searched for in each directory and, if found, loaded in the order listed:

bdep.options
bdep-fetch.options

The following fetch command options cannot be specified in the default options files:

--directory|-d
