GEN-CTL-IO(1)
NAME
gen-ctl-io - generate C interface code for libctl control files
SYNOPSIS
gen-ctl-io [OPTION]... [spec-file]
DESCRIPTION
gen-ctl-io generates C code to import/export the input/output variables
used in a libctl control file. gen-ctl-io generates files like ctlio.h and ctl-io.c. These files define global variables, data structures, and functions for the input/output variables, classes, and function interfaces defined in the spec-file argument, automating the
interaction between C and Guile.
The arguments such as --code and --header are used to control whether
ctl-io.c or ctl-io.h, etcetera, are generated. If no argument is specified then both of these files are generated by default, for backwards
compatibility.
libctl is a free library to aid in interfacing scientific software with
the GNU Guile scripting and extension language. Documentation for it
may be found online at the libctl home page: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl
OPTIONS
- --code Generate C (or C++) source code to implement the Guile interface
- functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.c (in C) or ctl-io.cpp (in C++).
- --header
- Generate the header file declaring the interface data types and functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.h (in C) or ctl-io.hpp (in C++).
- --swig Generate a SWIG interface definition file declaring automatic
- conversions for the various libctl data types. The default output file name is ctl-io.i.
- --cxx Generate C++ code instead of C code.
- -o file
- Use file as the output file name instead of the defaults (above).
