💅 TYPEMAKER2(1) — like, the typemaker2 manual, bestie ✨

okay so real quick, the manual name is typemaker2 and it lives in section 1 of the manual pages, and honestly? she's an icon. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

typemaker2 — she creates source and header files for the XML file you hand her. that's the whole job. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typemaker2 [global options] <command> [local options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this tool generates source and header files for simple data containers, and she gets all of that from XML files. from those XML files she whips up fromDb and toDb functions for structs, plus getters and setters for every single member. no cap.

the whole point? it makes maintaining data containers with a ton of members way easier (think AB_TRANSACTION energy). like, you add a member to the XML file and boom — it's immediately loaded, saved, destroyed and copied along with the rest of the struct whenever it's asked to. for example, _fromDb() will load all the members from a GWEN_DB. 💖

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

she also creates appropriate API documentation if you provide her with the source XML file. thoughtful queen. 👑
