Nested elements

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the NAnt.Core.Types.Argument.Line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

Attribute Type Description Required
dir directory
The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.
False
file file
The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.
False
if bool
Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.
False
line string
List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.
False
path
The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.
False
unless bool
Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.
False
value string
A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.
False

Nested elements

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character. 

<arg value="-l -a" />

Two separate command-line arguments. 

<arg line="-l -a" />

A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems. 

<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />

<arg>

<lib>
