Summary: Simple engine for arbitrary file structure generation
Description:
Verborum Caterva is a simple engine for arbitrary file structure generation. File hierarchy to be built is represented as another file hierarchy called a "template structure" or just as "template" for short. Each file to be built is represented in a template as a directory with a number of files and no subdirectories. The files a called "portions" are processed in alphabetical order for target file to be built. Each portion is either a plain file in wich case its contents are simply appended to the target file, or it may be an executable program. In a latter case the program is executed and its output is appended to the target file. A directory in a template which contains only other directories is not a file template howewer. Directories of that kind are just recreated in a target hierarchy. Program behavior on a mixed case template directory (i.e., containing files and directories) is undefined. CAUTION! This program might create a much huge lot of useless files for you if it would be run in wrong place on FS! It doesn't recognize with directory is a template and which is not and would process everything!
