xmake

Used in script code such as custom scripts, plug-in scripts, task scripts, platform extensions, template extensions, etc., that is, in code blocks like the following, you can use these module interfaces:

lua

on_run(function (target)
    print("hello xmake!")
end)

!> In order to ensure that the description scope of the outer layer is as simple and secure as possible, it is generally not recommended to use the interface and module operation api in this domain. Therefore, most module interfaces can only be used in the script domain to implement complex functions. Of course, a small number of read-only built-in interfaces can still be used in the description scope, as shown in the following table:

An example of using an interface call in a description scope is as follows, generally only for conditional control:

lua

-- Scan all subdirectories under the current xmake.lua directory, defining a task task with the name of each directory
for _, taskname in ipairs(os.dirs("*"), path.basename) do
    task(taskname)
        on_run(function ()
        end)
end

The script scope and description scope mentioned above mainly refer to:

lua

-- description scope
target("test")

    -- description scope
    set_kind("static")
    add_files("src/*.c")

    on_run(function (target)
        -- Script domain
    end)

-- description scope

import

Importing extension blocks

Import is mainly used to import xmake's extension class library and some custom class library modules, generally used to:

Custom script (on_build, on_run ..)
Plugin development
Template development
Platform extension
Custom task task

The import mechanism is as follows:

Import from the current script directory first
Import from the extended class library

Imported grammar rules:

Class library path rules based on ., for example:

Import core core extension module

lua

import("core.base.option")
import("core.base.task")

function main()

    -- Get parameter options
    print(option.get("version"))

    -- Run tasks and plugins
    task.run("hello")
end

Import the custom module in the current directory:

Directory Structure:

Plugin
  - xmake.lua
  - main.lua
  - modules
    - hello1.lua
    - hello2.lua

Import modules in main.lua

lua

import("modules.hello1")
import("modules.hello2")

After importing, you can directly use all the public interfaces inside. The private interface is marked with the _ prefix, indicating that it will not be exported and will not be called externally. .

In addition to the current directory, we can also import libraries in other specified directories, for example:

lua

import("hello3", {rootdir = "/home/xxx/modules"})

To prevent naming conflicts, you can also specify an alias after import:

lua

import("core.platform.platform", {alias = "p"})

function main()

    -- So we can use p to call the plats interface of the platform module to get a list of all the platforms supported by xmake.
    utils.dump(p.plats())
end

Import can not only import the class library, but also import and import as inheritance, realize the inheritance relationship between modules.

lua

import("xxx.xxx", {inherit = true})

This is not a reference to the module, but all the public interfaces of the module imported, so that it will be merged with the interface of the current module to achieve inheritance between modules.

Version 2.1.5 adds two new properties: `import("xxx.xxx", {try = true, anonymous = true}).

If the try is true, the imported module does not exist, only return nil, and will not interrupt xmake after throwing an exception. If anonymous is true, the imported module will not introduce the current scope, only the imported object reference will be returned in the import interface.

Custom extension module

Through import, we can import not only many built-in extension modules of xmake, but also user-defined extension modules.

Just put your own module in the project directory and import it according to the import method described above.

So, what if you want to define a module? xmake has a set of convention rules for module writing specifications, and does not follow Lua's native require import mechanism, and there is no need to use return in the module to return it globally.

If we have a module file foo.lua, its content is as follows:

lua

function _foo(a, b)
    return a + b
end

function add(a, b)
    _foo(a, b)
end

function main(a, b)
    add(a, b)
end

Among them main is the entry function, optional, if set, the module foo can be called directly, for example:

lua

import("foo")
foo(1, 2)

Or directly like this:

lua

import("foo")(1, 2)

Others without underscore are public module interface functions, such as add.

lua

import("foo")
foo.add(1, 2)

The underscore prefixed _foo is a private function that is used internally by the module and is not exported, so users cannot call it outside.

inherit

Import and inherit base class modules

This is equivalent to the inherit mode of the import interface, which is:

lua

import("xxx.xxx", {inherit = true})

With the inherit interface, it will be more concise:

Inherit("xxx.xxx")

For an example, see the script in the xmake tools directory: clang.lua

This is part of the clang tool module that inherits gcc.

try-catch-finally

Exception capture

Lua native does not provide try-catch syntax to catch exception handling, but provides interfaces such as pcall/xpcall to execute lua functions in protected mode.

Therefore, the capture mechanism of the try-catch block can be implemented by encapsulating these two interfaces.

We can look at the packaged try-catch usage first:

lua

try
{
    -- try code block
    function ()
        error("error message")
    end,

    -- catch code block
    catch
    {
        -- After an exception occurs, it is executed
        function (errors)
            print(errors)
        end
    }
}

In the above code, an exception is thrown inside the try block, and an error message is thrown, caught in the catch, and the error message is output.

And finally processing, this role is for the try{} code block, regardless of whether the execution is successful, will be executed into the finally block

In other words, in fact, the above implementation, the complete support syntax is: try-catch-finally mode, where catch and finally are optional, according to their actual needs.

E.g:

lua

try
{
    -- try code block
    function ()
        error("error message")
    end,

    -- catch code block
    catch
    {
        -- After an exception occurs, it is executed
        function (errors)
            print(errors)
        end
    },

    -- finally block
    finally
    {
        -- Finally will be executed here
        function (ok, errors)
            -- If there is an exception in try{}, ok is true, errors is the error message, otherwise it is false, and error is the return value in try
        end
    }
}

Or only the finally block:

lua

try
{
    -- try code block
    function ()
        return "info"
    end,

    -- finally block
    finally
    {
        -- Since there is no exception in this try code, ok is true and errors is the return value: "info"
        function (ok, errors)
        end
    }
}

Processing can get the normal return value in try in finally, in fact, in the case of only try, you can also get the return value:

lua

-- If no exception occurs, result is the return value: "xxxx", otherwise nil
local result = try
{
    function ()
        return "xxxx"
    end
}

In xmake's custom scripting and plugin development, it is also based entirely on this exception catching mechanism.

This makes the development of the extended script very succinct and readable, eliminating the cumbersome if err ~= nil then return value judgment. When an error occurs, xmake will directly throw an exception to interrupt, and then highlight the detailed error. information.

E.g:

lua

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c")

    -- After the ios program is compiled, the target program is ldid signed
    after_build(function (target))
        os.run("ldid -S %s", target:targetfile())
    end

Only one line os.run is needed, and there is no need to return a value to determine whether it runs successfully. After the operation fails, xmake will automatically throw an exception, interrupt the program and prompt the error.

If you want to run xmake without running interrupts directly after running, you can do it yourself.Add a try and you will be fine:

lua

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c")

    after_build(function (target))
        try
        {
            function ()
                os.run("ldid -S %s", target:targetfile())
            end
        }
    end

If you want to capture the error message, you can add a catch:

lua

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.c")

    after_build(function (target))
        try
        {
            function ()
                os.run("ldid -S %s", target:targetfile())
            end,
            catch
            {
                function (errors)
                    print(errors)
                end
            }
        }
    end

However, in general, write custom scripts in xmake, do not need to manually add try-catch, directly call a variety of api, after the error, let xmake default handler to take over, directly interrupted. .

pairs

Used to traverse the dictionary

This is lua's native built-in api. In xmake, it has been extended in its original behavior to simplify some of the daily lua traversal code.

First look at the default native notation:

lua

local t = {a = "a", b = "b", c = "c", d = "d", e = "e", f = "f"}

for key, val in pairs(t) do
    print("%s: %s", key, val)
end

This is sufficient for normal traversal operations, but if we get the uppercase for each of the elements it traverses, we can write:

lua

for key, val in pairs(t, function (v) return v:upper() end) do
     print("%s: %s", key, val)
end

Even pass in some parameters to the second function, for example:

lua

for key, val in pairs(t, function (v, a, b) return v:upper() .. a .. b end, "a", "b") do
     print("%s: %s", key, val)
end

ipairs

for traversing arrays

This is lua's native built-in api. In xmake, it has been extended in its original behavior to simplify some of the daily lua traversal code.

First look at the default native notation:

lua

for idx, val in ipairs({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"}) do
     print("%d %s", idx, val)
end

The extension is written like the pairs interface, for example:

lua

for idx, val in ipairs({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"}, function (v) return v:upper() end) do
     print("%d %s", idx, val)
end

for idx, val in ipairs({"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"}, function (v, a, b) return v:upper() .. a .. b end, "a", "b") do
     print("%d %s", idx, val)
end

This simplifies the logic of the for block code. For example, if I want to traverse the specified directory and get the file name, but not including the path, I can simplify the writing by this extension:

lua

for _, filename in ipairs(os.dirs("*"), path.filename) do
    -- ...
end

print

Wrapping print terminal log

This interface is also the native interface of lua. xmake is also extended based on the original behavior, and supports: formatted output, multivariable output.

First look at the way native support:

lua

print("hello xmake!")
print("hello", "xmake!", 123)

And also supports extended formatting:

lua

print("hello %s!", "xmake")
print("hello xmake! %d", 123)

Xmake will support both types of writing at the same time, and the internal will automatically detect and select the output behavior.

printf

No line printing terminal log

Like the print interface, the only difference is that it doesn't wrap.

cprint

Wrap color print terminal log

The behavior is similar to print, the difference is that this interface also supports color terminal output, and supports emoji character output.

E.g:

lua

    cprint('${bright}hello xmake')
    cprint('${red}hello xmake')
    cprint('${bright green}hello ${clear}xmake')
    cprint('${blue onyellow underline}hello xmake${clear}')
    cprint('${red}hello ${magenta}xmake')
    cprint('${cyan}hello ${dim yellow}xmake')

The results are as follows:

cprint_colors

The color-related descriptions are placed in ${ }, and you can set several different properties at the same time, for example:

    ${bright red underline onyellow}

Indicates: highlighted red, background yellow, and with a down line

All of these descriptions will affect the entire entire line of characters. If you only want to display partial color text, you can insert ${clear} at the end position to clear the previous color description.

E.g:

    ${red}hello ${clear}xmake

In this case, only hello is displayed in red, and the others are still normal black display.

Other colors belong to, I will not introduce them here, directly paste the list of attributes in the xmake code:

lua

    colors.keys =
    {
        -- Attributes
        reset = 0 -- reset attribute
    , clear = 0 -- clear attribute
    , default = 0 -- default property
    , bright = 1 -- highlight
    , dim = 2 -- dark
    , underline = 4 -- underline
    , blink = 5 -- flashing
    , reverse = 7 -- reverse color
    , hidden = 8 -- hidden text

        -- Foreground
    , black = 30
    , red = 31
    , green = 32
    , yellow = 33
    , blue = 34
    , magenta = 35
    , cyan = 36
    , white = 37

        -- Background color
    , onblack = 40
    , onred = 41
    , ongreen = 42
    , onyellow = 43
    , onblue = 44
    , onmagenta = 45
    , oncyan = 46
    , onwhite = 47

In addition to color highlighting, if your terminal is under macosx, lion above the system, xmake can also support the display of emoji expressions, for systems that do not support Ignore the display, for example:

lua

    cprint("hello xmake${beer}")
    cprint("hello${ok_hand} xmake")

The above two lines of code, I printed a classic beer symbol in the homebrew, the following line printed an ok gesture symbol, is not very dazzling. .

cprint_emoji

All emoji emoticons, as well as the corresponding keys in xmake, can be found in emoji. .

Version 2.1.7 supports 24-bit true color output, if the terminal supports it:

lua

import("core.base.colors")
if colors.truecolor() then
    cprint("${255;0;0}hello")
    cprint("${on;255;0;0}hello${clear} xmake")
    cprint("${bright 255;0;0 underline}hello")
    cprint("${bright on;255;0;0 0;255;0}hello${clear} xmake")
end

Xmake's detection support for truecolor is implemented by the $COLORTERM environment variable. If your terminal supports truecolor, you can manually set this environment variable to tell xmake to enable truecolor support.

It can be enabled and tested with the following command:

bash

$ export COLORTERM=truecolor
$ xmake --version

The 2.1.7 version can disable color output with COLORTERM=nocolor.

cprintf

No line feed color print terminal log

This interface is similar to cprint, the difference is that it does not wrap the output.

format

Formatting a string

If you just want to format the string and don't output it, you can use this interface. This interface is equivalent to the string.format interface, just a simplified version of the interface name.

lua

local s = format("hello %s", xmake)

vformat

Formatting strings, support for built-in variable escaping

This interface is followed by [format](The #format) interface is similar, but adds support for the acquisition and escaping of built-in variables.

lua

local s = vformat("hello %s $(mode) $(arch) $(env PATH)", xmake)

raise

Throwing an abort program

If you want to interrupt xmake running in custom scripts and plug-in tasks, you can use this interface to throw an exception. If the upper layer does not show the call to try-catch, xmake will be executed. An error message is displayed.

lua

if (errors) raise(errors)

If an exception is thrown in the try block, the error information is captured in catch and finally. See: try-catch

os

The system operation module belongs to the built-in module. It can be called directly by the script scope without using import import.

This module is also a native module of lua, and xmake has been extended to provide more practical interfaces.

!> Only some readonly interfaces (for example: os.getenv, os.arch) in the os module can be used in the description scope. Other interfaces can only be used in the script domain, for example: os.cp, os .rmetc.

os.cp

Copy files or directories

The behavior is similar to the cp command in the shell, supporting path wildcard matching (using lua pattern matching), support for multi-file copying, and built-in variable support.

e.g:

lua

os.cp("$(scriptdir)/*.h", "$(buildir)/inc")
os.cp("$(projectdir)/src/test/**.h", "$(buildir)/inc")

The above code will: all the header files in the current xmake.lua directory, the header files in the project source test directory are all copied to the $(buildir) output directory.

Among them $(scriptdir), $(projectdir) These variables are built-in variables of xmake. For details, see the related documentation of [built-in variables](#built-in variables).

The matching patterns in *.h and **.h are similar to those in add_files, the former is a single-level directory matching, and the latter is a recursive multi-level directory matching.

This interface also supports `recursive replication' of directories, for example:

lua

-- Recursively copy the current directory to a temporary directory
os.cp("$(curdir)/test/", "$(tmpdir)/test")

The copy at the top will expand and copy all files to the specified directory, and lose the source directory hierarchy. If you want to copy according to the directory structure that maintains it, you can set the rootdir parameter:

lua

os.cp ("src/**.h", "/tmp/", {rootdir="src"})

The above script can press the root directory of src to copy all sub-files under src in the same directory structure.

!> Try to use the os.cp interface instead of os.run("cp .."), which will ensure platform consistency and cross-platform build description.

Under 2.5.7, the parameter {symlink = true} is added to keep the symbolic link when copying files.

lua

os.cp("/xxx/foo", "/xxx/bar", {symlink = true})

os.mv

Move to rename a file or directory

Similar to the use of os.cp, it also supports multi-file move operations and pattern matching, for example:

lua

-- Move multiple files to a temporary directory
os.mv("$(buildir)/test1", "$(tmpdir)")

-- File movement does not support bulk operations, which is file renaming
os.mv("$(buildir)/libtest.a", "$(buildir)/libdemo.a")

os.rm

Delete files or directory trees

Support for recursive deletion of directories, bulk delete operations, and pattern matching and built-in variables, such as:

lua

os.rm("$(buildir)/inc/**.h")
os.rm("$(buildir)/lib/")

os.trycp

Try copying files or directories

Similar to os.cp, the only difference is that this interface operation will not throw an exception interrupt xmake, but the return value indicates whether the execution is successful.

lua

if os.trycp("file", "dest/file") then
end

os.trymv

Try moving a file or directory

Similar to os.mv, the only difference is that this interface operation will not throw an exception interrupt xmake, but the return value indicates whether the execution is successful.

lua

if os.trymv("file", "dest/file") then
end

os.tryrm

Try deleting files or directories

Similar to os.rm, the only difference is that this interface operation will not throw an exception interrupt xmake, but the return value indicates whether the execution is successful.

lua

if os.tryrm("file") then
end

os.cd

Enter the specified directory

This operation is used for directory switching and also supports built-in variables, but does not support pattern matching and multi-directory processing, for example:

lua

-- Enter the temporary directory
os.cd("$(tmpdir)")

If you want to leave the previous directory, there are several ways:

lua

-- Enter the parent directory
os.cd("..")

-- Enter the previous directory, equivalent to: cd -
os.cd("-")

-- Save the previous directory before entering the directory, then use it to cut back directly after the level
local oldir = os.cd("./src")
...
os.cd(oldir)

os.rmdir

delete only the directory

If it is not a directory, it cannot be deleted.

os.mkdir

Create a directory

Support for batch creation and built-in variables, such as:

lua

os.mkdir("$(tmpdir)/test", "$(buildir)/inc")

os.isdir

Determine if it is a directory

Return false if the directory does not exist

lua

if os.isdir("src") then
    -- ...
end

os.isfile

Determine if it is a file

Return false if the file does not exist

lua

if os.isfile("$(buildir)/libxxx.a") then
    -- ...
end

os.exists

Determine if a file or directory exists

Return false if the file or directory does not exist

lua

-- Judging the existence of the directory
if os.exists("$(buildir)") then
    -- ...
end

-- Judging the existence of the file
if os.exists("$(buildir)/libxxx.a") then
    -- ...
end

os.dirs

Traverse to get all the directories under the specified directory

Supports pattern matching in add_files, supports recursive and non-recursive mode traversal, and returns a table array. If not, returns an empty array, for example:

lua

-- Recursive traversal to get all subdirectories
for _, dir in ipairs(os.dirs("$(buildir)/inc/**")) do
    print(dir)
end

os.files

Traverse to get all the files in the specified directory

Supports pattern matching in add_files, supports recursive and non-recursive mode traversal, and returns a table array. If not, returns an empty array, for example:

lua

-- Non-recursive traversal to get all child files
for _, filepath in ipairs(os.files("$(buildir)/inc/*.h")) do
    print(filepath)
end

os.filedirs

Traverse to get all files and directories under the specified directory

Supports pattern matching in add_files, supports recursive and non-recursive mode traversal, and returns a table array. If not, returns an empty array, for example:

lua

-- Recursive traversal to get all child files and directories
for _, filedir in ipairs(os.filedirs("$(buildir)/**")) do
    print(filedir)
end

os.exit

Exit the program

os.isexec

Test if a file is executable

lua

if os.isexec("path/to/file.exe") then
    os.run("path/to/file.exe")
end

os.run

Quietly running native shell commands

Used to execute third-party shell commands, but will not echo the output, only after the error, highlight the error message.

This interface supports parameter formatting and built-in variables such as:

lua

-- Formatted parameters passed in
os.run("echo hello %s!", "xmake")

-- List build directory files
os.run("ls -l $(buildir)")

Using this interface to execute shell commands can easily reduce the cross-platform build. For `os.run("cp ..")`, try to use `os.cp` instead.
If you must use this interface to run the shell program, please use the [config.plat](#config-plat) interface to determine the platform support.

For more advanced process operations and control, see the process module interface.

os.runv

Quietly running native shell commands with parameter list

Similar to os.run, just the way to pass parameters is passed through the parameter list, not the string command, for example:

lua

os.runv("echo", {"hello", "xmake!"})

os.exec

Echo running native shell commands

Similar to the os.run interface, the only difference is that when this interface executes the shell program, it has the output output, which is used in general debugging.

os.execv

Echo running native shell commands with parameter list

Similar to os.exec, just the way to pass parameters is passed through the parameter list, not the string command, for example:

lua

os.execv("echo", {"hello", "xmake!"})

In addition, this interface also supports an optional parameter for passing settings: redirect output, perform environment variable settings, for example:

lua

os.execv("echo", {"hello", "xmake!"}, {stdout = outfile, stderr = errfile, envs = {PATH = "xxx;xx", CFLAGS = "xx"}}

Among them, the stdout and stderr parameters are used to pass redirected output and error output. You can directly pass in the file path or the file object opened by io.open.

After v2.5.1, we also support setting the stdin parameter to support redirecting input files.

!> stdout/stderr/stdin can simultaneously support three types of values: file path, file object, and pipe object.

In addition, if you want to temporarily set and rewrite some environment variables during this execution, you can pass the envs parameter. The environment variable settings inside will replace the existing settings, but will not affect the outer execution environment, only the current command.

We can also get all the current environment variables through the os.getenvs() interface, and then pass in the envs parameter after rewriting some parts.

os.iorun

Quietly running native shell commands and getting output

Similar to the os.run interface, the only difference is that after executing the shell program, this interface will get the execution result of the shell program, which is equivalent to redirecting the output.

You can get the contents of stdout, stderr at the same time, for example:

lua

local outdata, errdata = os.iorun("echo hello xmake!")

os.iorunv

Run the native shell command quietly and get the output with a list of parameters

Similar to os.iorun, just the way to pass arguments is passed through the argument list, not the string command, for example:

lua

local outdata, errdata = os.iorunv("echo", {"hello", "xmake!"})
local outdata, errdata = os.iorunv("echo", {"hello", "xmake!"}, {envs = {PATH="..."}})

os.tmpdir

Get temporary directory

Consistent with the result of $(tmpdir), it is just a direct return to return a variable that can be maintained with subsequent strings.

Consistent with the result of $(programdir), it is just a direct get returned to a variable, which can be maintained with subsequent strings.

os.programfile

Get the path of the xmake executable

os.projectdir

Get the project home directory

Consistent with the result of $(projectdir), it is just a direct return to return a variable that can be maintained with subsequent strings.

os.arch

Get current system architecture

That is the default architecture of the current host system, for example, I execute xmake on linux x86_64 to build, then the return value is: x86_64

os.host

Get the operating system of the current host

Consistent with the result of $(host), for example, if I execute xmake on linux x86_64 to build, the return value is: linux

os.subhost

Get Subsystem host, e.g. msys, cygwin on windows

os.subarch

Get Subsystem host architecture

os.is_host

Test if a given host is the current

os.is_arch

Test if a given arch is the current

os.is_subhost

Test if a given sub host is the current

os.is_subarch

Test if a given sub arch is the current

os.ln

lua

-- creates a symlink file "xxx.txt.ln" which is pointing to "xxx.txt"
os.ln("xxx.txt", "xxx.txt.ln")

os.readlink

Read the content of a symlink

os.raise

Raise an exception and abort the current script

lua

-- Raise exception with message "an error occurred"
os.raise("an error occurred")

!> recommanded to use builtin function raise instead of os.raise

os.raiselevel

Similar to os.raise but you can specify the level of the error

lua

-- Raise exception with message "an error occurred"
os.raiselevel(3,"an error occurred")

os.features

local oldenvs = os.addenvs({EXAMPLE = "some/path/"})
print(os.getenvs()["EXAMPLE"]) --got some/path/;a/path
print(oldenvs["EXAMPLE"]) -- got a/path

os.joinenvs

Join environment variables. Similar to os.addenvs but with two envs variable

lua

local envs = {CUSTOM = "a/path"}

io.open

Open file for reading and writing

This is a native interface for lua. For detailed usage, see Lua's official documentation: The Complete I/O Model

If you want to read all the contents of the file, you can write:

lua

local file = io.open("$(tmpdir)/file.txt", "r")
if file then
    local data = file:read("*all")
    file:close()
end

Or you can read it more quickly using io.readfile.

If you want to write a file, you can do this:

lua

-- Open file: w is write mode, a is append write mode
local file = io.open("xxx.txt", "w")
if file then

    -- Write data to file with native lua interface, does not support formatting, no line breaks, does not support built-in variables
    file:write("hello xmake\n")

    -- Write data to file with xmake extended interface, support formatting, no line breaks, no built-in variables
    file:writef("hello %s\n", "xmake")

    -- Use xmake extended formatted parameters to write to one line, with line breaks, and support for built-in variables
    file:print("hello %s and $(buildir)", "xmake")

    -- Write a line using the xmake extended formatted arguments, no line breaks, and support for built-in variables
    file:printf("hello %s and $(buildir) \n", "xmake")

    -- Close the file
    file:close()
end

io.load

Load all table contents from the specified path file deserialization

You can load serialized table contents from a file, generally used with io.save, for example:

lua

-- Load the contents of the serialized file to the table
local data = io.load("xxx.txt")
if data then

    -- Dump prints the contents of the entire table in the terminal, formatting the output
    utils.dump(data)
end

io.save

Serialize all table contents to the specified path file

You can serialize the contents of the table to the specified file, generally used in conjunction with io.load, for example:

lua

io.save("xxx.txt", {a = "a", b = "b", c = "c"})

The result of the storage is:

{
    ["b"] = "b"
,   ["a"] = "a"
,   ["c"] = "c"
}

io.readfile

Read everything from the specified path file

It is more convenient to directly read the contents of the entire file without opening the file, for example:

lua

local data = io.readfile("xxx.txt")

io.writefile

Write all content to the specified path file

It is more convenient to directly write the contents of the entire file without opening the file, for example:

lua

io.writefile("xxx.txt", "all data")

io.gsub

Full text replaces the contents of the specified path file

Similar to the string.gsub interface, the full-text pattern matches the replacement content, but here is the direct operation file, for example:

lua

-- Remove all whitespace characters from the file
io.gsub("xxx.txt", "%s+", "")

io.tail

Read and display the tail content of the file

Reads the data of the specified number of lines at the end of the file and displays a command like cat xxx.txt | tail -n 10, for example:

lua

-- Display the last 10 lines of the file
io.tail("xxx.txt", 10)

io.cat

read and display all contents of the file

Read all the contents of the file and display it, similar to the cat xxx.txt command, for example:

lua

io.cat("xxx.txt")

io.print

Formatted output content to file with newline

Directly format the passed parameter to output a line of string to the file with a line break, for example:

lua

io.print("xxx.txt", "hello %s!", "xmake")

io.printf

Formatted output to file without line breaks

Directly format the passed parameter to output a line of string to the file without a line break, for example:

lua

io.printf("xxx.txt", "hello %s!\n", "xmake")

io.lines

Read all lines from file

Returns all lines from a given file name

lua

local lines = io.lines("xxx.txt")
for line in lines do
    print(line)
end

io.stdfile

Get a std file

Returns a file for a given std file name

lua

-- returns stdin
io.stdin
-- returns stdout
io.stdout
-- returns stderr
io.stderr

io.openlock

Open a lock of a file

Returns a file lock object when successfully locking the file

lua

local lock = io.openlock("xxx.txt")
lock:lock()
lock:unlock()
lock:close()

io.replace

Replace text of the given file and return the replaced data

Replaces a given pattern in a file by a replacement string

lua

-- replace string "Hello" in "xxx.txt" with "World"
io.replace("xxx.txt", "Hello", "World")
-- if you want to replace a string and not a pattern
io.replace("xxx.txt", "1+1=2", "2+2=4", {plain = true})

path

The path operation module implements cross-platform path operations, which is a custom module of xmake.

Interface	Description	Supported Versions
path.new	Create a new path instance	>= 2.0.1
path.join	Stitching Path	>= 2.0.1
path.translate	Convert path to the path style of the current platform	>= 2.0.1

path.cygwin_path	Get the converted MSYS2/Cygwin style path	>= 2.2.7
path.pattern	Convert a path pattern to a lua pattern	>= 2.2.7

path.new

Create a new path instance

lua

local p = path.new("/tmp/file.txt")
print(p:filename())

The result is: file.txt

path.join

Stitching path

Adding multiple path items by splicing. Due to the path difference of windows/unix style, using api to append paths is more cross-platform, for example:

lua

print(path.join("$(tmpdir)", "dir1", "dir2", "file.txt"))

The above splicing on Unix is equivalent to: $(tmpdir)/dir1/dir2/file.txt, and on Windows is equivalent to: $(tmpdir)\\dir1\\dir2\\file.txt

If you find this cumbersome and not clear enough, you can use: path.translate to format the conversion path string to the format supported by the current platform.

path.translate

Convert path to the path style of the current platform

Formatting converts the specified path string to the path style supported by the current platform, and supports the path string parameter of the windows/unix format to be passed in, even mixed, such as:

lua

print(path.translate("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt"))
print(path.translate("$(tmpdir)\\dir\\file.txt"))
print(path.translate("$(tmpdir)\\dir/dir2//file.txt"))

The path strings of the above three different formats, after being standardized by translate, will become the format supported by the current platform, and the redundant path separator will be removed.

path.basename

Get the file name with no suffix at the end of the path

lua

print(path.basename("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt"))

The result is: file

path.filename

Get the file name with the last suffix of the path

lua

print(path.filename("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt"))

The result is: file.txt

path.extension

Get the suffix of the path

lua

print(path.extensione("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt"))

The result is: .txt

path.directory

The result is: $(tmpdir)/dir

path.relative

Convert to relative path

lua

print(path.relative("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt", "$(tmpdir)"))

The result is: dir/file.txt

The second parameter is to specify the relative root directory. If not specified, the default is relative to the current directory:

lua

os.cd("$(tmpdir)")
print(path.relative("$(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt"))

The result is the same.

path.absolute

Convert to absolute path

lua

print(path.absolute("dir/file.txt", "$(tmpdir)"))

The result is: $(tmpdir)/dir/file.txt

The second parameter is to specify the relative root directory. If not specified, the default is relative to the current directory:

lua

os.cd("$(tmpdir)")
print(path.absolute("dir/file.txt"))

The result is the same.

path.is_absolute

Determine if it is an absolute path

lua

if path.is_absolute("/tmp/file.txt") then
    -- if it is an absolute path
end

path.split

Split the path by the separator

lua

print(path.split("/tmp/file.txt"))

The result is: { "tmp", "file.txt" }

path.sep

Return the current separator, usually /

lua

print(path.sep("/tmp/file.txt"))

The result is: /

path.islastsep

Get if the last character is a separator

lua

if (path.islastsep("/tmp/dir/")) then
    -- if the last character is a separator
end

path.splitenv

Split a environment variable value of an array of pathes

lua

local pathes = path.splitenv(vformat("$(env PATH)"))

-- for windows 
local pathes = path.splitenv("C:\\Windows;C:\\Windows\\System32")
-- got { "C:\\Windows", "C:\\Windows\\System32" }

-- for *nix 
local pathes = path.splitenv("/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin")
-- got { "/usr/bin", "/usr/local/bin" }

The result is an array of strings, each item is a path in the input string.

path.joinenv

Concat two environment variable by the environment separator

lua

print(path.joinenv({"/tmp/dir", "/tmp/dir2"}))

The result is: /tmp/dir;/tmp/dir2 (on Windows)

path.envsep

Get the environment separator

lua

print(path.envsep())

The result is: ;

path.cygwin_path

Get the converted MSYS2/Cygwin style path

lua

print(path.cygwin_path("C:\\Windows"))

The result is: /C/Windows

path.pattern

Convert path pattern to lua pattern

lua

print(path.pattern("/tmp/file.txt"))

table

Table belongs to the module provided by Lua native. For the native interface, you can refer to: lua official document

It has been extended in xmake to add some extension interfaces:

Interface	Description	Supported Versions
table.join	Merge multiple tables and return	>= 2.0.1
table.join2	Merge multiple tables into the first table	>= 2.0.1
table.unique	Deduplicate the contents of the table	>= 2.0.1
table.slice	Get the slice of the table	>= 2.0.1

table.join

Merge multiple tables and return

You can merge the elements in multiple tables and return to a new table, for example:

lua

local newtable = table.join({1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9})

The result is: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

And it also supports the merging of dictionaries:

lua

local newtable = table.join({a = "a", b = "b"}, {c = "c"}, {d = "d"})

The result is: {a = "a", b = "b", c = "c", d = "d"}

table.join2

Combine multiple tables into the first table

Similar to table.join, the only difference is that the result of the merge is placed in the first argument, for example:

lua

local t = {0, 9}
table.join2(t, {1, 2, 3})

The result is: t = {0, 9, 1, 2, 3}

table.unique

Deduplicate the contents of the table

To de-table elements, generally used in array tables, for example:

lua

local newtable = table.unique({1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5})

The result is: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

table.slice

Get the slice of the table

Used to extract some elements of an array table, for example:

lua

-- Extract all elements after the 4th element, resulting in: {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
table.slice({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, 4)

-- Extract the 4th-8th element and the result: {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
table.slice({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, 4, 8)

-- Extract the 4th-8th element with an interval of 2, resulting in: {4, 6, 8}
table.slice({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, 4, 8, 2)

table.contains

Determine that the table contains the specified value

lua

if table.contains(t, 1, 2, 3) then
     - ...
end

As long as the table contains any value from 1, 2, 3, it returns true

table.orderkeys

Get an ordered list of keys

The order of the key list returned by table.keys(t) is random. If you want to get an ordered key list, you can use this interface.

("abc123123xyz123abc"):split('123', {plain = true}) => abc, xyz, abc

pattern match and contains empty string

lua

("1\n\n2\n3"):split('\n', {strict = true}) => 1, , 2, 3
("abc123123xyz123abc"):split('123', {strict = true}) => abc, , xyz, abc
("abc123123xyz123abc"):split('[123]+', {strict = true}) => abc, xyz, abc

plain match and contains empty string

lua

("1\n\n2\n3"):split('\n', {plain = true, strict = true}) => 1, , 2, 3
("abc123123xyz123abc"):split('123', {plain = true, strict = true}) => abc, , xyz, abc

limit split count

lua

("1\n\n2\n3"):split('\n', {limit = 2}) => 1, 2\n3
("1.2.3.4.5"):split('%.', {limit = 3}) => 1, 2, 3.4.5

string.trim

Remove the left and right whitespace characters of the string

lua

string.trim("    hello xmake!    ")

The result is: "hello xmake!"

string.ltrim

Remove the whitespace character to the left of the string

lua

string.ltrim("    hello xmake!    ")

The result is: "hello xmake! "

string.rtrim

Remove the whitespace character to the right of the string

lua

string.rtrim("    hello xmake!    ")

The result is: " hello xmake!"

coroutine

The coroutine module is a native module of lua. For use, see: lua official manual

signal

2.9.1 adds a new signal registration interface. We can register signal processing functions such as SIGINT in the Lua layer to customize the response logic.

signal.register

Currently, it only supports SIGINT signal processing, and it also supports mainstream platforms such as windows.

lua

import("core.base.signal")

function main()
     signal.register(signal.SIGINT, function (signo)
         print("signal.SIGINT(%d)", signo)
     end)
     io.read()
end

This is useful when some sub-processes internally shield SIGINT, causing them to freeze and not exit. Even if the user presses Ctrl+C to exit the xmake process, it does not exit. We can force it out in this way.

lua

import("core.base.process")
import("core.base.signal")

function main()
     local proc
     signal.register(signal.SIGINT, function (signo)
         print("sigint")
         if proc then
             proc:kill()
         end
     end)
     proc = process.open("./trap.sh")
     if proc then
         proc:wait()
         proc:close()
     end
end

For the background of this issue, please refer to: #4889

signal.ignore

Ignore a signal

We can also ignore the processing of blocking a certain signal through the signal.ignore interface.

lua

signal.ignore(signal.SIGINT)

signal.reset

Reset a signal

We can also clear the processing function of a certain signal and fall back to the default processing logic.

lua

signal.reset(signal.SIGINT)
