This is the command cli-generate that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
cli-generate - Generate source and documentation from CLI descriptions
SYNOPSIS
cli-generate [ -c | -h | -m | -w ] FILENAME.cli
DESCRIPTION
Operation
cli-generate reads in a CLI (command line interface) description file, parses it into its
various sections, and prints out one of a set of output files. In typical usage, that
output would be directed to a file and later compiled or included in other sources.
The CLI file (named PROGRAM.cli) is divided into two parts, a header (formatted much like
a standard mail header) and a series of sections. Headers and sections other than those
specified below are ignored. All headers and sections are optional.
File Format
file = header "\n" *section
header = *(header-line "\n")
header-line = header-field ":" whitespace value
whitespace = *(SPACE / TAB)
section = "[" name "]" "\n" lines
lines = *( line "\n" )
Headers
Description:
A one-line description of what the program does.
Include:
Add C statements to #include the given source file. Must be formatted as either
<file> or file
Min: The minimum number of allowed non-option arguments. Defaults to 0.
Max: The maximum number of allowed non-option arguments. Negative values mean
unlimited. Defaults to -1.
Show-Pid:
Set to non-zero if the resulting program is to show its PID with every output
message. Defaults to 0.
Usage: A one-line description of the intended usage. Defaults to empty.
Section Names
[prefix]
The text in this section is shown in the command usage before the options
description.
[options]
The list of options this program accepts. See below for their format.
[suffix]
The text in this section is shown in the command usage after the options
description.
[description]
[return value]
[errors]
[examples]
[environment]
[files]

[notes]
[caveats]
[diagnostics]
[bugs]
[restrictions]
[author]
[history]
These sections are formatted and copied into the man page in the standard order.
Options Format
options = *(option / separator)
option = option1 "\n" option2 "\n" *(line "\n")
option1 = [shortopt] [longopt] type ["=" flag-value] variable ["=" init]
option2 = helpstr ["=" default]
separator = "-- " text "\n"
shortopt = "-" character
longopt = "--" word
type = "FLAG" / "COUNTER" / "INTEGER" / "UINTEGER" / "STRING" / "STRINGLIST" / "FUNCTION"
If not specified, flag-value and init are 0, and default is empty.
Formatting
Except for [prefix], [options], and [suffix], all of the sections support formatting
instructions similar to that of TeXinfo (but greatly simplified).
@strong{text}
Use "strong" (bold) text.
@command{text}

@file{text}
Indicate the name of a file.
@code{text}
Indicate text that is a literal example of a piece of a program.
@samp{text}
Indicate text that is a literal example of a sequence of characters.
@example
@end example
The text between these two tags is indented.
@verbatim
@end verbatim
Everything between these two tags is passed as-is (verbatim) to the output.
@table @format
@end table
Mark up a two-column table, or "definition list".
@item paragraph
Add an item to a table. The @item starts a paragraph that will be the actual list
entry. Any subsequent paragraphs will be typeset seperately.
OPTIONS

-h Output C header file.
-m Output a UNIX man page.
-w Output HTML (web) markup.
EXAMPLES
Here is a sample CLI file, containing many of the described elements.
Min: 1
Max: 1
Usage: PATH
Description: Create a file.

@command{ls} and @command{ps} output.
If the given @option{PATH} is a directory, it is suffixed with another
name of my choosing.
[options]
-v --verbose FLAG=1 opt_verbose
-t --type STRING opt_type = "type1"
The type of the file to generate. = type1
Possible types for this include @option{type1} and @option{base64}.
