Description Leandro Lucarella 2010-06-16 15:42:14 UTC 
The only documentation I can found about the dependencies file format (the file generated by -deps=xxx) is in bug 3122 (where the patch is), and it's not very straightforward to understand unless you are familiar with D's EBNF syntax description.

I think the format should be documented in the dmd man page, and probably the website, etc. A couple of simple examples would be really helpful too, to easily understand the format.
