Manuals for GNU Toolchain Components</h2></div></div></div><p> | |
| Sourcery G++ Lite includes the full user manuals for each of the GNU | |
| toolchain components, such as the compiler, linker, | |
| assembler, and debugger. Most of the manuals include tutorial | |
| material for new users as well as serving as a complete reference | |
| for command-line options, supported extensions, and the like. | |
| </p><p> | |
| When you install Sourcery G++ Lite, links to both the PDF and HTML versions | |
| of the manuals are created in the shortcuts folder you select. If | |
| you elected not to create shortcuts when installing Sourcery G++ Lite, the | |
| documentation can be found in the | |
| <code class="filename">share/doc/sourceryg++-arm-none-linux-gnueabi/</code> | |
| subdirectory of your installation directory. | |
| </p><p> | |
| In addition to the detailed reference manuals, Sourcery G++ Lite includes | |
| a Unix-style manual page for each toolchain component. | |
| You can view these by invoking the <code class="command">man</code> command | |
| with the pathname of the file you want to view. For example, you can | |
| first go to the directory containing the man pages: | |
| </p><pre class="screen">> cd $INSTALL/share/doc/sourceryg++-arm-none-linux-gnueabi/man/man1</pre><p> | |
| Then you can invoke <code class="command">man</code> as: | |
| </p><pre class="screen">> man ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc.1</pre><p> | |
| Alternatively, if you use <code class="command">man</code> regularly, you'll | |
| probably find it more convenient to add the directory containing the | |
| Sourcery G++ man pages to your <code class="envar">MANPATH</code> environment variable. | |
| This should go in your <code class="filename">.profile</code> or equivalent | |
| shell startup file; see <a class="xref" href="sec-setting-up-environment.html" title="2.6. Setting up the Environment">Section 2.6, “Setting up the Environment”</a> for | |
| instructions. Then you can invoke <code class="command">man</code> | |
| with just the command name rather than a pathname. | |
| </p><p> | |
| Finally, note that every command-line utility program included with | |
| Sourcery G++ Lite can be invoked with a <code class="option">--help</code> option. | |
| This prints a brief description of the arguments and options to the | |
| program and exits without doing further processing. | |
