SYNOPSIS

xml2ag [-flag [value]]... [--opt-name [[=| ]value]]...
[ <def-file> ]

This program will convert any arbitrary XML file into equivalent AutoGen definitions, and invoke AutoGen.

DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents the xml2ag command. The template will be derived from either:
* the --override-tpl command line option
* a top level XML attribute named, "template"
One or the other must be provided, or the program will exit with a failure message.

The "base-name" for the output will similarly be either:
* the --base-name command line option
* the base name of the .xml file

By default, the output is handed to an AutoGen for processing. However, you may save the definitions to a file instead.

-L dir, --templ-dirs=dir

Override template file.

Pass-through AutoGen argument

-l tpl-file, --lib-template=tpl-file

Library template file. This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

Pass-through AutoGen argument

-b name, --base-name=name

Base name for output file(s).

Pass-through AutoGen argument

--definitions=file

Pass-through AutoGen argument

-S file, --load-scheme=file

Pass-through AutoGen argument

-F file, --load-functions=file
