| gen_manual - a program for automatic generation of manual from source code |
| ========================================================================== |
| |
| #### Introduction |
| |
| This simple C++ program generates a single-page HTML manual from `lz4.h`. |
| |
| The format of recognized comment blocks is following: |
| - comments of type `/*!` mean: this is a function declaration; switch comments with declarations |
| - comments of type `/**` and `/*-` mean: this is a comment; use a `<H2>` header for the first line |
| - comments of type `/*=` and `/**=` mean: use a `<H3>` header and show also all functions until first empty line |
| - comments of type `/*X` where `X` is different from above-mentioned are ignored |
| |
| Moreover: |
| - `LZ4LIB_API` is removed to improve readability |
| - `typedef` are detected and included even if uncommented |
| - comments of type `/**<` and `/*!<` are detected and only function declaration is highlighted (bold) |
| |
| |
| #### Usage |
| |
| The program requires 3 parameters: |
| ``` |
| gen_manual [lz4_version] [input_file] [output_html] |
| ``` |
| |
| To compile program and generate lz4 manual we have used: |
| ``` |
| make |
| ./gen_manual.exe 1.7.3 ../../lib/lz4.h lz4_manual.html |
| ``` |
