Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] gnuradio-companion -c is documented but not working

[CEL]

Hello Markus,

yep, that's a documentation bug. I'll look up how the manpages are
generated. Possibly, GRC *used* to have this feature (or it *will* have
that feature). 

What you want to achieve can be achieved with a different command line
utility:

grcc [-d target_directory, default=~/.grc_gnuradio] [-e|--execute]
file.grc

Best regards,
Marcus
