Function dmd.root.response.responseExpandFrom
Expand any response files in command line. Response files are arguments that look like: @NAME The names are resolved by calling the 'lookup' function passed as a template parameter. That function is expected to first check the environment and then the file system. Arguments are separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines. These can be imbedded within arguments by enclosing the argument in "". Backslashes can be used to escape a ". A line comment can be started with #. Recursively expands nested response files.
bool responseExpandFrom(alias lookup)
(
ref Strings args
) nothrow;
To use, put the arguments in a Strings object and call this on it.
