ignore

Name

ignore  --  ignore any future references to a file or package

Synopsis

ignore {pattern}

Description

ignore causes all calls to fetch(3) or functions that call fetch(3) (e.g., sub(3), include(3), etc) for all packages matching the glob pattern to be ignored.

Caveats

Glob patterns must be escaped so that they are not expanded by the shell before the call to ignore.

To ignore a file or package, ignore must be called with a pattern that matches the file or package before the file or package is supposed to be fetched by the script.

Examples

Ignore the package apps/init:

    ignore apps/init
    

Ignore all files and packages that begin with "packages/web/".

    ignore 'packages/web/*'
