NAME

       htmake - create GLOBAL hypertext source searchable by gsearch.cgi

SYNOPSIS

       htmake [htags options] [--url=base-url] [destdir]

DESCRIPTION

       htmake  is  a wrapper script that creates searchable hypertext from program source code and records information into a path database needed
       for a centralised search mechanism.

       Prior to using this command you must have installed gsearch.cgi using the htconfig -I option and configured the location of the path  data-
       base in htmake.conf

       Before  you can create the hypertext source you need to execute gtags(1) from the root directory of the source tree.  htmake is then called
       from the same place.

       htmake uses htags(1) to create the hypertext with a unique id and htconfig(1) to make the required entries in the path database.

OPTIONS

       The following options will be passed to htags(1) if used.

       -a     Make an alphabetical function index.

       -c     Compress html. Use gzip(1) with .ghtml suffix.

       -C     Compress html. Use gzip(1) with .html.gz suffix.

       -d tagdir, --tags=gtagsdbpath
	      Specifies the directory in which GTAGS and GRTAGS exist. The default is the current directory.

       -F     Use frames for definition index, file index and main view.

       -l     Make a name tag for each line of hypertext created.

       -n     Print out the line numbers.

       -t title
	      The title of this hypertext. Defaults to the last component of the current path.

       --action=cgi-url
	      Specify the location search queries are submitted to.  Defaults to the value set in htmake.conf or to
	      http://localhost/cgi-bin/gsearch.cgi

       The remaining options are more general or are passed to htconfig(1).

       --url=base-url
	      the base url for your new hypertext source.  For best results always use absolute url's here.
	      eg. http://host/~user/mysource
	      It defaults to file:/destdir

       destdir
	      The directory in which hypertext is generated.  The default is ./HTML

       -v, --verbose
	      Activate the inbuilt screen saver. Give your phosphors a workout.

EXAMPLES

       $ cd /usr/src/myprog
       $ gtags
       $ htmake

       $ cd /usr/src/myprog
       $ gtags -c
       $ htmake -c --url=http://host/~user/prog/HTML 
	 /home/user/public_html/prog

FILES

       /etc/gtags/htmake.conf
       path database

BUGS

       As a wrapper htmake gets to inherit bugs from other software too.  Isn't life fun.

       This is alpha software - expect anything!
