NAME

scrollkeeper-preinstall - generate on OMF file, based on an existing OMF file, which has the correct URL for a document

SYNOPSIS

scrollkeeper-preinstall url input-omf-file output-omf-file

DESCRIPTION

scrollkeeper-preinstall creates the OMF file output-omf-file by reading the given existing OMF file input-omf-file and replacing the URL for a resource (typically a document) with the URL given by url. This is typically done as part of the build process for an application, since the actual location that a document is installed is not known until the application is built.

If output-omf-file is specified with a path, and that path does not exist, the path is created.

The url is typically the "file:" URI followed by the absolute path to a document which is (or will be) installed. (eg. "file:/usr/share/doc/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper.sgml")
