requirement
requirement — A requirement/property in the Jamfile for a testcase
A requirement is part of the dependencies of a target in a
Jamfile. The name
attribute of a requirement element
gives the name of the Boost.Build feature and the content of the
requirement gives the value of that feature. A requirement such as
<includes>foo.hpp
would be encoded as
<requirement
name="includes">foo.hpp</requirement>
.
