.SH NAME
shape_stdvar \- shapeTools RMS project wide variant definitions
.SH DESCRIPTION
This file contains common variant definitions to be used in a
software development project supported by the shape release management
system. The stdvar file defines a variant raster for a whole
development project. This central definition facility unifies the
naming and semantics of supported system variants.
.PP
\fIStdvar\fP is to be included into the Shapefiles of any part of the
developed system via shape's include mechanism. The definitions in
stdvar should be carefully designed and maintained for each supported
project. They usually concern variant control for all
hardware/operating system platforms to be supported or variant
settings to produce different qualities of generated code (debug or
optimized).
.PP
Enclosed in the shapeTools distribution, you find the stdvar file
used in the development of the shape toolkit itself. This may be a
good starting point for developing an own variant raster. At least, it
helps you learning the definition syntax. Otherwise, for a description
on the syntax of variant definition parts see the shape(1) manual.
