💖 dia2code — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual for dia2code (that's the dia2code(1) page, section 1 of the manual, iykyk) and honestly? it's giving "draw a UML diagram, get real code out of it" and we're obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dia2code — Generate code from Dia files 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dia2code [-t programminglanguage] [-d dir] [-nc] [-c] [-cl classlist]
[-v] diagramfile [-h] [--help]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically, dia2code generates code from a Dia file that has a UML diagram inside it. that's the whole vibe. you draw the diagram, it spits out code, main character energy fr fr. ✨

the output code can be any of these besties:

  • ActionScript3
  • Ada
  • C
  • C++
  • C#
  • Java
  • PHP4/PHP5
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • Shape File
  • SQL create statements

pick your fighter, no cap. 👑

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -h, --help — prints the help text and then dips. exit stage left. 🫶
  • -t ada|as3|c|cpp|csharp|java|php|php5|python|ruby|shp|sql — picks the output language for you. the default is C++ (cpp), because of course it is. 🎀
  • -d dir — sends the generated files to <dir>. the default is "." (aka right here, right now). 📁
  • -nc — do not overwrite files that already exist. very "hands off my stuff" of it. 💅
  • -cl classlist — only generates code for the classes you name in the comma-separated <classlist>. E.g: Base,Derived. ✨
  • -v — inverts the class list selection. ⚠️ and heads up bestie: when you use it without -cl, it prevents any file from being created. not a single one. the void. 💀
  • -l licensefile — prepends the license you specify to every source file generated. so your legal situation stays iconic. 📜
  • diagramfile — the Dia file that holds the diagram to be read. the source of truth, the blueprint, the moment. 🦋
