Amalgamation

Mongoose is distributed as two files, mongoose.c and mongoose.h for ease of integration. However, when developing Mongoose itself, it can be quite difficult to work with them. Internally, these files are an amalgamation of source and header modules. This directory contains utilities to split and re-constitute amalgamated files.

Here's how mongoose.c can be split into its consituent parts:

$ tools/unamalgam.py mongoose.c
=> mongoose/src/internal.h
=> common/cs_dbg.h
...

This produces directories and files under mongoose/ and common/ that are easeier to work with. It also produces mongoose.c.manifest which can later be used to reconstruct the file back:

$ tools/amalgam.py --prefix=MG --public-header=mongoose.h $(cat mongoose.c.manifest) > mongoose.c

The same applies to mongoose.h, except --public-header should be omitted during amalgamation.
