👑 TYPEMAKER(1) — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to typemaker(1), the icon of a tool that literally writes your boring data-container code for you. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

typemaker — a source and header file generator for Gwenhywfar and AqBanking data structures 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

typemaker [options] <input file(s)>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. this tool generates source and header files for simple data containers, and it does it from XML files. that's the whole vibe. ✨

it creates fromDb and toDb functions for structs, plus getters and setters for literally any member. every single one. no member left behind. 🫶

and like, why does that matter? because it makes it so much easier to maintain data containers with many members — think AB_TRANSACTION, the final boss of "why does this struct have 47 fields". 😭

here's the slay part: a member you add to the XML file will immediately be loaded, saved, destroyed and copied with the rest of the struct upon request — for example, _fromDb() will load all members from a GWEN_DB. you add it once, it's handled everywhere. main character energy fr fr. 👑

the current version creates a C file and headers for it.

it also creates appropriate API documentation if you hand it the source XML file. documented and generated? we love a multitasker. 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v — increase the verbosity level. she gets chatty, and honestly? valid.
  • --logfile LOGFILE — specify a name for the logfile. pick where the receipts go. 📝
  • --logtype LOGTYPE — specify the log type.
  • --loglevel LOGLEVEL — specify the log level.
  • -d DOMAIN — DOMAIN is the name of the API. like, for AqBanking you'd choose AQBANKING_API, for Gwen it's GWENHYWFAR_API, etc. this is used with the list and heritage macros. iykyk 🧚
  • -o OUTFILE — specify the name of the output file (if you omit it, it goes to stdout). classic.
  • --compact — write a more compact file. less is more, periodt.
  • -V, --version — print the version of this tool and exit. bye bestie, love you. 👋
