Project directories and SNiFF+ generated files
Generally, you create a project for existing source files. When you create the project, you must specify the directory containing these source files. The directory you specify is referred to as the project directory. Each project in SNiFF+ corresponds to a project directory on your file system.
During project creation, SNiFF+ generates the following files and directories in a project directory:
- Makefile--The project makefile. This file is generated when you choose to build your targets
using SNiFF+'s Make Support.
- The Project Description File (PDF)--Each SNiFF+ project is described by a Project
Description File (PDF) that stores the structure, the list of files, and the attributes of the
project. SNiFF+ maintains a project's PDF for you. These files have the extension
.proj
and
.shared
.
Project Generate Directory--This directory contains a number of files generated for the
project and maintained by SNiFF+. By default, this directory is called
.sniffdir
and is
located in the project directory.
