NAME

     sdef -- scripting definition extractor

SYNOPSIS

     sdef application

DESCRIPTION

     sdef gets the scripting definition (``sdef'') from the specified scriptable application and writes it to standard output.	The application
     does not have to have an actual sdef in it; sdef can translate from the older aete and Cocoa suite definition (scriptSuite/scriptTerminology
     pairs) formats.

     From there, you can examine the sdef directly, or pipe it to sdp(1) for further processing.

NAME

       Mac::AETE::Parser - parses Macintosh AETE and AEUT resources.

SYNOPSIS

	    use Mac::AETE::Parser;
	    use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

	    $aete = Parser->new($aete_handle, $name);
	    $formatter = Dictionary->new;
	    $aete->set_format($formatter);
	    $aete->read;
	    $aete->write;

DESCRIPTION

       The Parser module serves as a base class for the Mac::AETE::App and Mac::AETE::Dialect modules.

       Methods

       new	 Example: ($aete_handle is a handle containing a valid AETE resource. $name is the name of the application.)

		      use Mac::AETE::Parser;
		      use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

		      $aete = Parser->new($aete_handle, $name);

       read	 Reads the data contained in the AETE resource or handle. Example:

		      $aete->read;

       set_format
		 Sets the output formatter used during by the 'write' subroutine. Example:

		      $formatter = Dictionary->new;
		      $aete->set_format($formatter);

       copy	 Copies all suites from one Parser object into another. Example:

		      $aete2 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
		      $aete->copy($aete2);

		 copies the suites from $aete2 into $aete.

       merge	 Merges suites from one Parser object into another. Only the suites that exist in both objects will be replaced. Example:

		      $aete3 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
		      $aete->merge($aete3);

       write	 Prints the contents of the AETE or AEUT resource using the current formatter.

		      $aete->write;

INHERITANCE

       Parser does not inherit from any other modules.
