💖 WEBIDL2PAS-3.2.2 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN. this is webidl2pas-3.2.2, a WEB IDL to Pascal translator for the Free Pascal Compiler (aka FPC), and it's genuinely iconic. it takes your Web IDL and hands you back Pascal. no cap. it lives in section 1 of the manual, so it's a user command, and it's giving compiler-toolchain royalty. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

webidl2pas-3.2.2 [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, option is one or more of the following, and yes, you can stack them, she's flexible:

  • -h, --help — the help text you're looking at right now, bestie 🫶
  • -c, --constexternal — writes consts as external const, which means no value
  • -e, --expandunionargs — adds overloads for all Union typed function arguments. the way that this just gives you every overload? obsessed 💅
  • -d, --dicttoclass[=Parent] — writes dictionaries as classes. you can optionally name a Parent up in there, iykyk
  • -i, --input=FileName — the input webidl file, aka where the tea comes from 🍓
  • -m, --implementation=Filename — include file as implementation
  • -n, --include=Filename — include file at end of interface
  • -o, --output=FileName — the output file. lowkey defaults to the unit name with .pas extension appended. slay
  • -p, --optionsinheader — add options to header of generated file
  • -t, --typealiases=alias — a comma separated list of type aliases in Alias=Name form

use @filename to load the aliases from file. yes, literally an at-sign, it's a whole vibe 🦋

  • -u, --unitname=Name — name for unit. defaults to input file without extension
  • -v, --verbose — output some diagnostic information (she's chatty, we love that)
  • -w, --webidlversion=V — set web IDL version. allowed values: v1 or v2 ⭐
  • -x, --extra=units — extra units to put in uses clause (comma separated list)
