  NAME

   amalgamate - produce an amalgamation of C/C++ source files.

  SYNOPSIS

   amalgamate [-s]
     [-w {wildcards}]
     [-f {file|macro}]...
     [-p {file|macro}]...
     [-d {name}={file}]...
     [-i {dir}]...
     {inputFile} {outputFile}

  DESCRIPTION

   Produces an amalgamation of {inputFile} by replacing #include statements with
   the contents of the file they refer to. This replacement will only occur if
   the file was located in the same directory, or one of the additional include
   paths added with the -i option.

   Files included in angle brackets (system includes) are only inlined if the
   -s option is specified.

   If an #include line contains a macro instead of a string literal, the list
   of definitions provided through the -d option is consulted to convert the
   macro into a string.

   A file will only be inlined once, with subsequent #include lines for the same
   file silently ignored, unless the -f option is specified for the file.

  OPTIONS

    -s                Process #include lines containing angle brackets (i.e.
                      system includes). Normally these are not inlined.

    -w {wildcards}    Specify a comma separated list of file name patterns to
                      match when deciding to inline (assuming the file can be
                      located). The default setting is "*.cpp;*.c;*.h;*.mm;*.m".

    -f {file|macro}   Force reinclusion of the specified file or macro on
                      all appearances in #include lines.

    -p {file|macro}   Prevent reinclusion of the specified file or macro on
                      subsequent appearances in #include lines.

    -d {name}={file}  Use {file} for macro {name} if it appears in an #include
                      line.

    -i {dir}          Additionally look in the specified directory for files when
                      processing #include lines.

    -v                Verbose output mode
