NAME
project_bin - Call a Dir::Project specific program
SYNOPSIS
[program] [program_arguments]
[program] --project_bin-helpDESCRIPTION
project_bin is used to call another project specific program, where the name of the program is simply the name that project_bin is invoked as.
Before the program is called, the DIRPROJECT environment variable is set, which has the link to the current project area. The DIRPROJECT_PATH directories are then searched to find the executable specified. See Dir::Project program_bin() for more details.
This enables multiple versions of the executable to exist in different project directories and everything to sort itself out.
This program is not usually called directly. Instead project_bin is symlinked as the name of the program to be executed. project_bin then uses that name to determine the program to be called.
If project_bin can't determine the project, it tries to execute {program}__notfound which is generally a link to a version of the program that is the default for when outside a project.
