✨ mir_wayland_generator(1) ✨

okay so bestie, listen up 💖 this is a page from the Mir Display Server Utiltity manual, and honestly? it's a little one but it does things. iykyk.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mir_wayland_generator — generate Mir-style C++ wrappers from a Wayland protocol description 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mir_wayland_generator <prefix> <input> <mode>

like... that's the whole vibe. three little arguments and you're off 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the whole point, the main character energy of this tool, is that it generates C++ stubs to make developing the server-side implementation of Wayland protocols way easier. not me being obsessed with a code generator but here we are 😭✨

mir_wayland_generator expects the following command line input, and you literally have to give it all three:

• prefix — the name prefix which will be removed, such as 'wl_'. and if you don't want a prefix at all? use _ or honestly anything that won't match the start of a name. slay, no prefix, we move 💅
• input — the input xml file path. yes bestie, xml. it's giving structured data 🎀
• mode — and it's either 'header' or 'source'. those are the only two options, pick one, no in-between 💖

fr fr, if you skip an argument or give it a mode that isn't 'header' or 'source', that's on you — the page only tells you what it expects, not what it does when you don't 🫶
