Relx
=======
A release assembler for Erlang.
Synopsis
--------
relx [*options*] [*release-specification-file*]
Description
-----------
Relx 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 simply a well configured release directory.
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`.
Note, if using your own `rebar`, it must at least be > version [2.2.0](https://github.com/rebar/rebar/releases)
Config File
-----------
By default `relx` looks for `relx.config` in the current working directory:
```erlang
{release, {relname, "vsn"},
[app1,
app2]}.
{extended_start_script, true}.
```
