Synopsis
mkbom [-s] directory bom
mkbom [-s] -i filelist bom
mkbom -h | --help
Description
The mkbom command creates a bill-of-materials (bom(5)). You must specify either a source as a directory, or a text file containing a file listing as outputted by lsbom(8). mkbom will generate bill-of-materials information based on that information. Any existing bomfile will be overwritten by the new bomfile.
Options:
-h: print full usage-s: create a simplified bom containing only file paths-i filelist: use the information in filelist, one entry per line, to construct the bom file. The format of the file should match lsbom(8) output with no formatting options (the default). If -s is given to mkbom, the input filelist should contain only pathnames, as with lsbom -s.
