Dependency rules describe the relationships among the files in a
software system and specify the actions MMS is to perform in updating
those files.
Format:
target,... : source,... [! comment]
action line [! comment]
Targets and sources are OpenVMS file specifications or mnemonic
names. A target is the file you want updated. A source is a file
from which the target is built and can be optional. You must begin a
target/source line in column 1 of the line, and you must include at
least one space or tab on each side of the colon. A comment is
simply a string of text that documents the description file.
An action line contains a CLI command that specifies how the target
is to be built from the source. An action line must be indented by
at least one space or tab below the corresponding target/source line.
When you run MMS, all action lines, including any comments you
specified in the description file, are written to SYS$OUTPUT (or to
the file specified by the /OUTPUT qualifier) as they are executed.
MMS supplies some default, or "built-in," dependency rules. You can
also define your own rules.
