.Nd manage tinderbox runs
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op options
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
script manages
.Xr tinderbox 1
runs, generates log summaries, and mails out failure reports.
.Pp
The following options are recognized:
.Bl -tag -width 12n
.It Fl c Ar CONFIG , Fl -config Ns = Ns Ar CONFIG
The name of the configuration to use.
The default is the hostname minus the domain part.
.It Fl d , Fl -dump
Dumps the configuration and exits without running the tinderbox.
.It Fl e Ar DIR , Fl -etcdir Ns = Ns Ar DIR
The directory where configuration files are located.
The default is
.Pa $HOME/etc .
.El
.Ss Configuration
The
.Nm
script uses named configurations located in individual files named for
the setup they describe, with a
.Pa .rc
suffix.
For instance, the
.Dq snoosnoo
configuration is contained in
.Pa snoosnoo.rc .
.Pp
In addition,
.Nm
attempts to read
.Pa default.rc
before reading the actual configuration file; thus, that file may be
used to specify default values shared by multiple configurations.
.Pp
The configuration consists of a list of single- or multiple-value
variable assignments:
.Bl -tag
.It Va variable Ns = Ns Ar value
.It Va variable Ns = Ns Ar value1 , Ar value 2, ...
.El
.Pp
Whitespace around the equal sign and around the commas separating
multiple values is optional.
.Pp
Blank lines are ignoed, as is anything following a hash sign
.Pq Dq # .
.Pp
The following configuration variables are defined:
.Bl -tag -width 12n
.It ARCH
.Pq Vt simple
The architecture currently being built for.
Read-only.
.It BRANCH

Read-only.
.It BRANCHES

No default value.
.It PLATFORMS
.Pq Vt multiple
Which architectures and machines to build for.
Each value is the name of an architecture, optionally followed by a
forward slash
.Pq Dq /

.Pp
Fields which are left undefined are filled in from the
.Dq global
setup.
.Ss Variable Substitution
All single-valued configuration variables are subject to variable
substitution immediately before use.
If a variable's value contains strings of the form
.Va %%VAR%%
or
.Va %%var%% ,
those strings are replaced with the values of the corresponding
variables.
The difference between the first and the second form is that the
latter expands to lower-case.
For instance,
.Dq %%BRANCH%%
might expand to
.Dq RELENG_4
while
.Dq %%branch%%
would expand to
.Dq releng_4 .
