2.12 Manipulate CS+ on the Command Line

You can launch CS+ from the command line (e.g. the Windows command prompt), and control it via command input without displaying the Main window.

 

This section describes the control of CS+ when launched from the Windows command prompt.

From the command prompt, execute CubeSuite+.exe or CubeSuiteW+.exe, located in the CS+ installation folder.

When executing CubeSuite+.exe

If you execute CubeSuite+.exe, you can launch CS+, load plug-ins, and execute builds without displaying the Main window.

The format to specify on the command line is shown below.

Δ: One or more spaces

[ ]: Can be omitted

|: When options are separated by pipeline characters ("|"), any one of the options can be specified

...: Pattern in proceeding [ ] can be repeated

 

Each option is described below.

Option

Description

None

Launch CS+ without displaying the Main window, and exit without performing any actions.

/bbΔ[build-mode-name]

Execute a build.

Launch without displaying the Main window, build all the projects included in specified project-file-name, with the build mode specified by build-mode-name, and then exit.

If a project does not have the build mode specified by build-mode-name, then the build mode is copied based on the DefaultBuild, and the build is performed.

If the build mode specified by build-mode-name is not defined in the project specified by project-file-name, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

If build-mode-name is omitted, then the build will use the DefaultBuild.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/brΔ[build-mode-name]

Execute a rebuild.

Launch without displaying the Main window, build all the projects included in specified project-file-name, with the build mode specified by build-mode-name, and then exit.

If a project does not have the build mode specified by build-mode-name, then the build mode is copied based on the DefaultBuild, and the build is performed.

If the build mode specified by build-mode-name is not defined in the project specified by project-file-name, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

If build-mode-name is omitted, then the build will use the DefaultBuild.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/bcbΔ[build-mode-name]

Perform a clean and then execute a build.

Launch without displaying the Main window, build all the projects included in specified project-file-name, with the build mode specified by build-mode-name, and then exit.

If a project does not have the build mode specified by build-mode-name, then the build mode is copied based on the DefaultBuild, and the build is performed.

If the build mode specified by build-mode-name is not defined in the project specified by project-file-name, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

If build-mode-name is omitted, then the build will use the DefaultBuild.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/bcΔ[build-mode-name]

Perform a clean.

Launch without displaying the Main window, build all the projects included in specified project-file-name, with the build mode specified by build-mode-name, and then exit.

If a project does not have the build mode specified by build-mode-name, then the build mode is copied based on the DefaultBuild, and the build is performed.

If the build mode specified by build-mode-name is not defined in the project specified by project-file-name, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

If build-mode-name is omitted, then the build will use the DefaultBuild.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/cve

Perform conversion from the specified project file to the common project file (*.rcpe).

Remark

The common project file (*.rcpe) is a project file that can be output by CS+ and loaded by the e2 studio that supports this file format.
Use the import function of e2 studio to load the common project file (*.rcpe).

 

Launch without opening the Main window, convert all the projects included in specified project-file-name, and then exit.

The output folder is the same folder as that of project-file-name, and the output file name is the same as project-file-name with its extension changed to ".rcpe".

The device of the project and subprojects of the conversion source is directly used as the device of conversion destination.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

 

The following conversion is supported.

/lpΔplug-in-name[,plug-in-name,...]

Start CS+ without displaying the Main window, and with loading the specified plug-ins in the Plugins folder.

In plug-in-name, specify the name of the folder in which each DLL file is saved. Note that folder names are case-insensitive.

You can specify multiple plug-in names by separating them with commas.

You can also specify the "/lp" option itself multiple times. Each DLL will be loaded.

When a plug-in with the same name is specified for the /np option, the option specified backward of the command line will take precedence.

If the plug-in specified by this option does not exist, it will be ignored.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/lpall

Start CS+ without displaying the Main window, and with loading all plugins in the Plugins folder.

If this is specified together with the "/np" or “/lp“ option, then this option will take precedence. When a plug-in is specified together with the /npall option, the option specified backward of the command line will take precedence.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/npΔplug-in-name[,plug-in-name,...]

Start CS+ without displaying the Main window, and without loading the specified plugins in the Plugins folder.

In plug-in-name, specify the name of the folder in which each DLL file is saved. Note that folder names are case-insensitive.

You can specify multiple plug-in names by separating them with commas.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.

/npall

Start CS+ without displaying the Main window, and without loading any of the specified plugins in the Plugins folder.

If this is specified together with the "/np" or “/lp“ option, then this option will take precedence. When a plug-in is specified together with the /lpall option, the option specified backward of the command line will take precedence.

If project-file-name is omitted, then an error will be displayed, and processing will end.
