Install

Install rust toolchain for build

I recommend using cargo install until I prepare a proper CD pipeline.

# Binary with full macros support
cargo install r4d --features binary --locked

# Only include macros that doesnt't require external crates
cargo install r4d --features basic --locked

# Refer docs.rs or usage section for detailed feature usage

Simple usage

Binary

There are two binaries of each rad and rado. Rad is a main processor and rado is a wrapper binary.

# rad
# Read from a file and print to stdout 
rad input_file.txt
# Read from standard input and print to a file
printf '...text...' | rad -o out_file.txt
# Get a simple manual for a macro
rad --man ifdef

# rado
# Edit a source file
rado edit file_name.txt
# Read a processed file
rado read file_name.txt
# Print environment variables
rado env

Library

use r4d::RadError;
use r4d::Processor;

let processor = Processor::new()
    .write_to_file(PathBuf::from("cache.txt"))?;

processor.process_file(Path::new("input.txt"))?;
processor.print_result()?;
