progen

PROGEN(1)						      General Commands Manual							 PROGEN(1)

NAME

       progen - create project files for tmake(1)

SYNOPSIS

       progen [options] [C/C++ header/source files]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the progen command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

       The progen(1) utility creates tmake(1) project files.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -lower Lower-case letters in filenames (useful on Windows).

       -n name
	      Specify a project name (TARGET).

       -o file
	      Write output to file instead of stdout.

       -t file
	      Specify a template file.

EXAMPLE

       The progen(1) utility can be used like this:

	      progen -n hello -o hello.pro

       If no .cpp or .h files are specified on the command line, progen(1) searches for .cpp and .h (except moc_*.cpp) in  the	current  directory
       and below.

SEE ALSO

       The  full  documentation  for  progen  is  maintained  as  an  HTML manual, located in /usr/share/doc/tmake/html/, and is available through
       dhelp(1), Debian's help system.

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Dwayne C. Litzenberger <dlitz@dlitz.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
