AutoGen creates text files from templates using external definitions. AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain repetitive text with varied substitutions.
The definitions (<def-file>
) can be specified with the
definitions
option or as the command argument, but not both.
Omitting it or specifying -
will result in reading definitions
from standard input.
The output file names are based on the template, but generally use the
base name of the definition file. If standard in is read for the
definitions, then stdin
will be used for that base name. The
suffixes to the base name are gotten from the template. However, the
template file may specify the entire output file name. The generated
files are always created in the current directory. If you need to
place output in an alternate directory, cd
to that directory and
use the --templ_dirs
option to search the original directory.
loop-limit
is used in debugging to stop runaway expansions.
