DUNE-UNINSTALL(1)

NAME

dune-uninstall - Uninstall packages defined in the workspace.

SYNOPSIS

The installation directories used are defined by priority:

- directories set on the command line of dune install, or corresponding environment variables

- directories set in dune binary. They are setup before the compilation of dune with ./configure

- inferred from the environment variable OPAM_SWITCH_PREFIX if present

OPTIONS

--action-stderr-on-success=VAL
    Same as --action-stdout-on-success but for standard error instead of standard output. A good default for large mono-repositories is --action-stdout-on-success=swallow --action-stderr-on-success=must-be-empty. This ensures that a successful build has a "clean" empty output.

--action-stdout-on-success=VAL
    Specify how to deal with the standard output of actions when they succeed. Possible values are: print to just print it to Dune's output, swallow to completely ignore it and must-be-empty to enforce that the action printed nothing. With must-be-empty, Dune will consider that the action failed if it printed something to its standard output. The default is print.

--bindir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install public binaries. Only absolute path accepted.

--build-info
    Show build information.

--context=CONTEXT
    Select context to install from. By default, install files from all defined contexts.

--create-install-files
    Do not directly install, but create install files in the root directory and create substituted files if needed in destdir (_destdir by default).

--datadir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install files from share section. Only absolute path accepted.

--destdir=PATH (absent DESTDIR env)
    This directory is prepended to all installed paths.

--display-separate-messages
    Separate error messages with a blank line.

--docdir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install documentation files. Only absolute path accepted.

--dry-run
    Only display the file operations that would be performed.

--error-reporting=VAL (absent=deterministic)
    Controls when the build errors are reported. early reports errors as soon as they are discovered. deterministic reports errors at the end of the build in a deterministic order. twice reports each error twice: once as soon as the error is discovered and then again at the end of the build, in a deterministic order.

--etcdir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install configuration files. Only absolute path accepted.

-f, --force
    Force actions associated to aliases to be re-executed even if their dependencies haven't changed.

--file-watcher=VAL (absent=automatic)
    Mechanism to detect changes in the source. Automatic to make dune run an external program to detect changes. Manual to notify dune that files have changed manually.

--libdir=PATH
    Directory where library files are copied, relative to prefix or absolute. If --prefix is specified the default is $prefix/lib. Only absolute path accepted.

--libexecdir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install executable library files. Only absolute path accepted.

--mandir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install man pages. Only absolute path accepted.

--passive-watch-mode
    Similar to [--watch], but only start a build when instructed externally by an RPC.

--prefix=PREFIX (absent DUNE_INSTALL_PREFIX env)
    Directory where files are copied. For instance binaries are copied into $prefix/bin, library files into $prefix/lib, etc...

--relocatable
    Make the binaries relocatable (the installation directory can be moved). The installation directory must be specified with --prefix

--sandbox=VAL (absent DUNE_SANDBOX env)
    Set sandboxing mode. Some actions require a certain sandboxing mode, so they will ignore this setting. The allowed values are: none, symlink, copy, hardlink.

--sbindir=PATH
    Manually override the directory to install files from sbin section. Only absolute path accepted.

--sections=VAL
    sections that should be installed

--stop-on-first-error
    Stop the build as soon as an error is encountered.

-w, --watch
    Instead of terminating build after completion, wait continuously for file changes.

--wait-for-filesystem-clock
    Dune digest file contents for better incrementally. These digests are themselves cached. In some cases, Dune needs to drop some digest cache entries in order for things to be reliable. This option makes Dune wait for the file system clock to advance so that it doesn't need to drop anything. You should probably not care about this option; it is mostly useful for Dune developers to make Dune tests of the digest cache more reproducible.

COMMON OPTIONS

These options are common to all commands.

--always-show-command-line
    Always show the full command lines of programs executed by dune.

--auto-promote
    Automatically promote files. This is similar to running dune promote after the build.

--build-dir=FILE (absent DUNE_BUILD_DIR env)
    Specified build directory. _build if unspecified

--cache=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE env)
    Enable or disable Dune cache (one of disabled, enabled-except-user-rules or enabled). Default is `enabled-except-user-rules'.

--cache-check-probability=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_CHECK_PROBABILITY env)
    Check build reproducibility by re-executing randomly chosen rules and comparing their results with those stored in Dune cache. Note: by increasing the probability of such checks you slow down the build. The default probability is zero, i.e. no rules are checked.

--cache-storage-mode=VAL (absent DUNE_CACHE_STORAGE_MODE env)
    Dune cache storage mode (one of auto, hardlink or copy). Default is `hardlink'.

--config-file=FILE
    Load this configuration file instead of the default one.

--debug-backtraces
    Always print exception backtraces.

--debug-dependency-path
    In case of error, print the dependency path from the targets on the command line to the rule that failed.

--debug-package-logs (absent DUNE_DEBUG_PACKAGE_LOGS env)
    Always print the standard logs when building packages

--default-target=TARGET (absent=@@default)
    Set the default target that is used when none is specified to dune build.

--diff-command=VAL (absent DUNE_DIFF_COMMAND env)
    Shell command to use to diff files. Use - to disable printing the diff.

--disable-promotion (absent DUNE_DISABLE_PROMOTION env)
    Disable all promotion rules

--display=MODE
    Control the display mode of Dune. See dune-config(5) for more details. Valid values for this option are progress, verbose, short, quiet or tui.

--dump-gc-stats=FILE
    Dump the garbage collector stats to a file after the build is complete.

--help[=FMT] (default=auto)
    Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.

--ignore-promoted-rules
    Ignore rules with (mode promote), except ones with (only ...). The variable %{ignoring_promoted_rules} in dune files reflects whether this option was passed or not.

--instrument-with=BACKENDS (absent DUNE_INSTRUMENT_WITH env)
    Enable instrumentation by BACKENDS. BACKENDS is a comma-separated list of library names, each one of which must declare an instrumentation backend.

-j JOBS (absent DUNE_JOBS env)
    Run no more than JOBS commands simultaneously. JOBS must be a positive integer or auto to auto-detect the number of cores (the default).

--no-buffer
    Do not buffer the output of commands executed by dune. By default dune buffers the output of subcommands, in order to prevent interleaving when multiple commands are executed in parallel. However, this can be an issue when debugging long running tests. With --no-buffer, commands have direct access to the terminal. Note that as a result their output won't be captured in the log file. You should use this option in conjunction with -j 1, to avoid interleaving. Additionally you should use --verbose as well, to make sure that commands are printed before they are being executed.

--no-config
    Do not load the configuration file

--no-print-directory
    Suppress "Entering directory" messages.

--only-packages=PACKAGES
    Ignore stanzas referring to a package that is not in PACKAGES. PACKAGES is a comma-separated list of package names. Note that this has the same effect as deleting the relevant stanzas from dune files. It is mostly meant for releases. During development, it is likely that what you want instead is to build a particular <package>.install target.

-p PACKAGES, --for-release-of-packages=PACKAGES (required)
    Shorthand for --release --pkg=disabled --only-packages PACKAGE. You must use this option in your <package>.opam files, in order to build only what's necessary when your project contains multiple packages as well as getting reproducible builds.

--pkg=VAL
    Enable or disable package management. The default behaviour depends on whether a lock directory exists.

--profile=VAL (absent DUNE_PROFILE env)
    Select the build profile, for instance dev or release. The default is dev.

--promote-install-files[=VAL] (default=true)
    Promote any generated <package>.install files to the source tree.

--release
    Put dune into a reproducible release mode. Shorthand for --root . --ignore-promoted-rules --no-config --profile release --always-show-command-line --promote-install-files --require-dune-project-file --default-target @install. You should use this option for release builds. For instance, you must use this option in your <package>.opam files. Except if you already use -p, as -p implies this option.

--require-dune-project-file[=VAL] (default=true)
    Fail if a dune-project file is missing.

--root=DIR (absent DUNE_ROOT env)
    Use this directory as workspace root instead of guessing it. Note that this option doesn't change the interpretation of targets given on the command line. It is only intended for scripts.

--store-orig-source-dir (absent DUNE_STORE_ORIG_SOURCE_DIR env)
    Store original source location in dune-package metadata.

--target-exec=TOOLCHAIN=CMD (absent DUNE_TARGET_EXEC env)
    Wrapper command for running target binaries when cross-compiling. Format: TOOLCHAIN=CMD (e.g., 'windows=wine').

--terminal-persistence=MODE
    Change how the log of build results are displayed to the console between rebuilds while in --watch mode. Supported modes: preserve, clear-on-rebuild, clear-on-rebuild-and-flush-history.

--trace-file=FILE
    Output trace data in catapult format (compatible with chrome://tracing).

--verbose
    Same as --display verbose

--version
    Show version information.

--watch-exclusions=REGEX
    Adds a POSIX regular expression that will exclude matching directories from `dune build --watch`. The option --watch-exclusions can be repeated to add multiple exclusions. Semicolons can be also used as a separator. If no exclusions are provided, then a standard set of exclusions is used; however, if one or more --watch-exclusions are used, none of the standard exclusions are used. The standard exclusions are: ^_opam /_opam ^_esy /_esy ^\.#.* /\.#.* ~$ ^#[^#]*#$ /#[^#]*#$ ^4913$ /4913$ /.git /.hg :/windows

--workspace=FILE (absent DUNE_WORKSPACE env)
    Use this specific workspace file instead of looking it up.

-x VAL (absent DUNE_CROSS_TARGET env)
    Cross-compile using this toolchain.
