Used in a command to specify a constant text string as an argument. Note that an argument doesn't have to match exactly one command line argument, it can contain a fraction of an argument as well. See also the lar arglist and value argument tags.
| Attribute | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| value |
The agrument to add to the command line. | No. |
| prefix |
A text string to prepend to the
argument. This might not be so useful for this element but it's
included to be similar to arglist and value. |
No. |
| suffix |
A text string to append to the
arguemnt. The default value is a space character. It might sometimes be
practical to set this to the empty string when the next arguemnt should
follow without a space. See the examples. |
No.
Default:" " |
The argument value can also be specified as nested text surrounded
by <arg> </arg> instead of as an attribute. See the
examples below.
<arg value="temp/obj"/>
<arg>temp/obj</arg>
The postfix attribute is set to space by default, but setting it to
the empty string will sometimes be useful:
<arg value="-L" postfix=""/>This will generate an argument string without space between the arguments:
<arg value="/usr/local/lib"/>
-L/usr/local/lib
