# SYNOPSIS

nitpackage [*options*] FILE...


# DESCRIPTION

`nitpackage` provide packages related features.

For now, only one thing is implemented: the *package expansion*.

## Expanding packages

The `--expand` option is used to move singleton packages in their own directory.

For example, to move all singleton packages from `lib/` into directories, one can
use the following command.

~~~sh
nitpackage --expand lib/
~~~

## Generating `package.ini` files

The `--gen-ini` option is used to create `package.ini` files.

For example, the following command will create a `package.ini` stub for each package
that does not already have a one.

~~~sh
nitpackage --gen-ini lib/
~~~

The `--force` option can be used to force the creation of the INI stub even if the package
already contains one.

~~~sh
nitpackage --gen-ini -f lib/
~~~
