IDLINK DOCUMENTATION -------------------- idlink [-b] [-source path] [-dest path] [-script scriptfile] -b Force a full rebuild of the file, rather than a file bulking partial update -source path To place the source for the files in another directory -dest path To place the linked file in another directory -script file The script name defaults to LINKFILE.ILN if not specified Script file format: ; Comments can be uses at the beginning of a line, or after a command's parms ; whitespace can be introduced anywhere, but a command cannot cross lines outputfilename ; must be the first token of the file filename [labelname] ; adds filename to the data file, possibly with label $OPENCOMP filename ; opens a composite data file. Filenames after this ; are assumed to be in the composit file $CLOSECOMP ; Closes the open composite file. Files after this ; are assumed to be seperate files. You can issue ; multiple $OPENCOMPs without $CLOSECOMP LABEL labelname ; inserts a label on an empty lump Idlink generates the output linked file, and a file with the same base and a content file with a .ICN (Id CoNtent file) extension. This file holds the pathnames and composite files for each of the lumps. This allows the partial linking to find the correct data even if you rearrange the link script. You can delete this file whenever you want, it will just force a full rebuild. During a partial link, if a lump has grown it will be added on to the end of the file, leaving wasted space behind. You should periodically use the -B option to force a rebuild from scratch.
