autogen

Automatically generate boilerplate comments and code for new files with a single command.

Usage:

autogen.sh -c [copyright holder] -l [license] [filename]

To get a list of supported licenses, run autogen.sh with no parameters.

File type or language is determined based on the full filename or extension, as appropriate. See autogen.sh for a list of recognized file types.

Sample outputs:

• Apache 2.0, Haskell
• 3-clause BSD, Erlang
• GPL 2, Ruby
• LGPL 2.1, C++
• MIT, Makefile

Developing

To add a few file type or feature, change autogen.sh and add several files to the testdata/ directory, namely:

• testdata/<feature>.in - the input file containing command-line args to pass to autogen.sh
• testdata/<feature>.out - expected stdout for the test
• testdata/<feature>.err - expected stderr for the test

To generate the *.out and *.err files automatically, just add the *.in files and run make regen. Then, examine the resulting *.out and *.err files.

Testing

make test will process all files in testdata/ and tell you which passed or failed.
