GEN-CTL-IO(1)			     libctl			   GEN-CTL-IO(1)

NAME
     gen-ctl-io - generate C interface code for libctl control files

SYNOPSIS
     gen-ctl-io [OPTION]... [spec-file]

DESCRIPTION
     gen-ctl-io  generates  C  code  to import/export the input/output variables
     used in a libctl control file.  gen-ctl-io generates  files  like	ctl-io.h
     and  ctl-io.c.   These  files define global variables, data structures, and
     functions for the input/output variables, classes, and function  interfaces
     defined in the spec-file argument, automating the interaction between C and
     Guile.

     The  arguments such as --code and --header are used to control whether ctl-
     io.c or ctl-io.h, etcetera, are generated.  If  no  argument  is  specified
     then  both  of these files are generated by default, for backwards compati-
     bility.

     libctl is a free library to aid in interfacing scientific software with the
     GNU Guile scripting and extension language.  Documentation for  it  may  be
     found online at the libctl home page: http://ab-initio.mit.edu/libctl

OPTIONS
     --code
	    Generate  C  (or  C++)  source code to implement the Guile interface
	    functions.	The default output file name is ctl-io.c (in C) or  ctl-
	    io.cpp (in C++).

     --header
	    Generate  the  header  file  declaring  the interface data types and
	    functions. The default output file name is ctl-io.h (in C)	or  ctl-
	    io.hpp (in C++).

     --swig
	    Generate  a  SWIG interface definition file declaring automatic con-
	    versions for the various libctl data types.  The default output file
	    name is ctl-io.i.

     --cxx  Generate C++ code instead of C code.

     -o file
	    Use file as the output file name instead of the defaults (above).

BUGS
     Send bug reports to S. G. Johnson, stevenj@alum.mit.edu.
