10.6 Post Build Processing

If the [Defines] section of the DSC file contains a POSTBUILD = entry statement, prior to exiting, the script specified in the POSTBUILD statement is executed. The entry of POSTBUILD support multiple arguments. And Tool will convert arguments that are WORKSPACE or PACKAGES_PATH relative paths to absolute paths. If the script file is not found, the build command exits with an appropriate error message. If the script fails, it must terminate with a non-zero exit code and the build command terminates with the exit value from the post-build script. The script is required to generate error messages that provide the reason for the termination.

All of the command line options passed into the build command are also passed into the script along with the options for TARGET, ARCH, TOOL_CHAIN_TAG, ACTIVE_PLATFORM, Conf Directory, and build target.

If the script terminates successfully (exit value of 0), then the build command terminates normally.

Note: This entry may be wrapped in a conditional directive. Unlike the PREBUILD entry, there are no restrictions on the MACRO values used in a conditional directive.

Note: Quotes are needed when the script's additional options are present. Quotes are also required if the path to the post-build command contains space or special characters. Quotes may be used for arguments that have spaces or special characters.
