  • 0

I made a sample project called “Stack”, but realized that i needed some more data structures, so i renamed everything – the project, made 2 new folders & their matching groups in XCode, modified the Target Build path to look for “Main/DataStructures-Prefix.pch” instead. But there’s one file i don’t understand -> earlier, i had gotten a “Stack.1” in my folder, so i just renamed it to “Main.1” and it doesn’t seem to be affecting the build process, but i’m pretty skeptical. What does this “Main.1” do? is it the linked intermediate file like in C/C++?

here’s a picture:

    “Main.1” is a template for creating a “man page” (i.e. an on-line manual page) for your program. You can verify that by calling

    man ./Main.1

    on the command line in the directory where “Main.1” is located.

    If you run

    xcodebuild install

    on the command line then the manual page is copied to the

    $DSTROOT/usr/share/man/man1/

    directory, where DSTROOT is the “Installation Build Products Location”. The file is not used otherwise in the build process.

    If you don’t need a man page, you can just remove the file from the Xcode project.
