BASIS Documentation

Introduction

This is the API documentation of the Build system And Software Implementation Standard (BASIS).

Projects following the standard include the BASIS Modules and make use of the BASIS Utilities. They are hence dependent on the BASIS package, similarly to a software implemented in C++ depends on third-party libraries used by this implementation, for example. Therefore, in order to be able to build a BASIS project, the BASIS package has to be installed first. Note, however, that BASIS is not necessarily required during the runtime, i.e., for executing the software. This depends on which utilities are used by the project.
