✨ dk_make_protocol(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the DBusKit corner of the manual pages, this one's called dk_make_protocol and it's lowkey a little code-generating fairy 🧚

---

💖 NAME 💖

dk_make_protocol — the tool that generates protocol declarations straight out of D-Bus introspection data 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dk_make_protocol -i interface_file -o output_file

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: dk_make_protocol parses D-Bus interface files that are carrying introspection data, and it turns them into Objective-C @protocol declarations. ✨

And why do we care?? Because this is literally what lets you invoke methods on D-Bus objects from GNUstep application code using the DBusKit framework. main character energy fr fr 👑

dk_make_protocol accepts the following options:

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -i interface_file — bestie this is where you hand over the interface file with the introspection data. it's giving "here's the tea, now do ur thing" 🍓
• -o output_file — the output file for the header with all the generated @protocol declarations in it. and here's the cute part: if you skip this option entirely, the generated header just gets printed on the standard output instead. no cap 🌈

---

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

dk_make_protocol -i org.freedesktop.Foo.xml -o Foo.h

look at that, one line, iconic, ate 💅
