NAME

       xml2ag - XML to AutoGen Definiton Converter

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

       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

OPTIONS

   All other options are derived from autogen
       -O file, --output=file
	      Output file in lieu of AutoGen processing.

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

   All other options
       These  options  are  mostly  just passed throug to autogen.  The one exception is --override-tpl which replaces the default template in the
       output definitions.  It does not get passed through on the command line.

       -L dir, --templ-dirs=dir
	      Search for templates in DIR.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -T tpl-file, --override-tpl=tpl-file
	      Use TPL-FILE for the template.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -l tpl-file, --lib-template=tpl-file
	      Load AutoGen macros from TPL-FILE.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

	      NOTE: THIS OPTION IS DEPRECATED

       --definitions=file
	      Read definitions from FILE.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --shell=shell
	      name or path name of shell to use.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -m, --no-fmemopen
	      Do not use in-mem streams.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --equate=char-list
	      characters considered equivalent.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -b name, --base-name=name
	      Specify NAME as the base name for output.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --source-time
	      set mod times to latest source.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --writable, --not-writable
	      Allow output files to be writable.  The not-writable form will disable the option.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --loop-limit=lim
	      Limit on increment loops.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The value of lim is constrained to being:
		  exactly -1, or
		  in the range	1 through 0x1000000
	      The default lim for this option is:
		   256

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -t seconds, --timeout=seconds
	      Limit server shell operations to SECONDS.  This option takes an integer number as its argument.  The value of seconds is constrained
	      to being:
		  in the range	0 through 3600

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --trace=level
	      tracing level of detail.	This option takes a keyword as its argument.  The argument sets an enumeration value that can be tested by
	      comparing them against the option value macro.  The available keywords are:
		  nothing	debug-message server-shell
		  templates	block-macros  expressions
		  everything
		  or their numeric equivalent.

	      The default level for this option is:
		   nothing

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --trace-out=file
	      tracing output file or filter.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --show-defs
	      Show the definition tree.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       --used-defines
	      Show the definitions used.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -C, --core
	      Leave a core dump on a failure exit.

	      Many systems default to a zero sized core limit.	If the system has the sys/resource.h header and if this option is supplied, then
	      in the failure exit path, autogen will attempt to set the soft core limit to whatever the hard core limit is.  If that does not
	      work, then an administrator must raise the hard core size limit.

       -s suffix, --skip-suffix=suffix
	      Skip the file with this SUFFIX.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.  This option must not appear in combination
	      with any of the following options: select-suffix.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -o suffix, --select-suffix=suffix
	      specify this output suffix.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -D value, --define=value
	      name to add to definition list.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -U name-pat, --undefine=name-pat
	      definition list removal pattern.	This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -M type, --make-dep[=type]
	      emit make dependency file.  This option may appear an unlimited number of times.

	      Pass-through AutoGen argument

       -?, --help
	      Display usage information and exit.

       -!, --more-help
	      Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

       -v [{v|c|n}], --version[={v|c|n}]
	      Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a simple version.  The `c' mode will print copyright information and
	      `n' will print the full copyright notice.

EXIT STATUS

       One of the following exit values will be returned:

       0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
	      Successful program execution.

       1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
	      The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

       70 (EX_SOFTWARE)
	      libopts had an internal operational error.  Please report it to autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net.  Thank you.
