NAME
relx - A release assembler for erlang
SYNOPSIS
relx [options] [release-specification-file]
DESCRIPTION
Reltool assembles releases for an Erlang/OTP release. Given a release specification and a list of directories in which to search for OTP applications it will generate a release output. That output depends heavily on what plugins available and what options are defined, but usually it is simple a well configured release directory.
relx -c relx.config -l ~/my-dirs --relname foo --relvsn 0.0.1 --target-spec myapp --target-spec getopt>=0.5.1 -o output-dir
The release-specification-file is optional but otherwise contains additional specification information for releases.
BUILDING
To build relx and generate a standalone escript executable:
$ make
This creates the executable relx.

-n STRING, --relname STRING : Specify the name for the release that will be generated
-v STRING, --relvsn=STRING : Specify the version for the release
-g STRING, --goals STRING : Specify a goal to the system. These are usually the OTP Apps that are part of the release
-o STRING, --output-dir STRING
: The output directory for the release. This is ./ by default.
-l STRING, --lib-dir STRING : Additional dirs that should be searched for OTP Apps
