NAME
       dahdi_genconf - Generate configuration for dahdi channels.

SYNOPSIS
       dahdi_genconf [options] [generator...]

DESCRIPTION
       This script generate configuration files for Dahdi hardware.  It uses two information sources:

       Hardware
	    The actual dahdi hardware is automatically detected on the host.

       /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters
	   A configuration file that supplements the hardware information.  Its location may be overridden via the "GENCONF_PARAMETERS"
	   environment variable.

       The dahdi_genconf script can generate various kinds of configuration files as specificed by the generator arguments.  Each generator is a
       perl classes in Dahdi::Config::Gen namespace.  The generator names on the command line are the class names in lowercase.

       The following generators are currently implemented: system, chandahdi, unicall, users.  For further documentation on each, please user
       perldoc on the relevant class. E.g: "perldoc Dahdi::Config::Gen::Chandahdi"

       Each generator on the command line may be passed custom options by assigning a comma separated list of options to the generator name. E.g:

	dahdi_genconf system chandahdi=verbose unicall

   Global options:
       -V  Version -- print version string and exit.

       -v  Verbose -- sets the 'verbose' option for all generators.

       -F  Freepbx -- sets the 'freepbx' option for all generators.  Currently, chandahdi is affected.

   Implementation notes:
       o   genconf_parameters parsing is done via "Dahdi::Config::Params".  An object representing the parsed data is instanciated by:
	   "Dahdi::Config::Params->new()".  The "item()" method of this object contains all the hard coded defaults of the configuration
	   directives.

       o   A configuration object is instanciated by "Dahdi::Config::Gen->new($params)".  The mapping of configuration directives into semantic
	   configuration is done in the constructor.

       o   A single generator is run via the the "run_generator()" method of the configuration object.
