hook_pinfo()
QNX SDP8.0Programmer's GuideDeveloper
This function is invoked after hook_postmake(). Theoretically, we don't need this hook at all and we could do all its work in hook_postmake(), but we're keeping it separate in case we get fancier in the future.
This function is responsible for generating all the *.pinfo
files in the project.
It does this by invoking the gen_pinfo() function that's defined
in build-cfg, which generates one .pinfo.
The command line for gen_pinfo() is:
gen_pinfo [-nsrc_name ] install_name install_dir pinfo_line...
The arguments are:
- src_name
- The name of the pinfo file (minus the .pinfo suffix). If it's not specified, gen_pinfo() uses install_name.
- install_name
- The basename of the executable when it's installed.
- install_dir
- The directory the executable should be installed in.
If it doesn't begin with a
/
, the target CPU directory is prepended to it. For example, if install_dir is usr/bin and you're generating an x86_64 executable, the true installation directory is /x86_64/usr/bin. - pinfo_line
- Any additional pinfo lines that you want to add.
You can repeat this argument as many times as required.

Here's an example from the nasm project:
function hook_pinfo {
gen_pinfo nasm usr/bin LIC=NASM DESCRIPTION="Netwide X86 Assembler"
gen_pinfo ndisasm usr/bin LIC=NASM DESCRIPTION="Netwide X86 Disassembler"
}
