NAME


sdfcli - Command Line Interface Utility

PURPOSE


sdfcli extracts command line interface (CLI) information from applications and formats it
into SDF.

USAGE


usage : sdfcli [-h[help]] [-o[out_ext]]
[-l[log_ext]] [-O[out_dir]] [-w wrap]
utility ...
purpose: format a utility's command line interface into SDF
version: 2.000 (SDF 2.001)

The options are:

Option Description
-h display help on options
-o output file extension
-l log file extension
-O output to input file's (or explicit) directory
-w column at which to wrap option specifications

DESCRIPTION


The -h option provides help. If it is specified without a parameter, a brief description
of each option is displayed. To display the attributes for an option, specify the option
letter as a parameter.

By default, generated output goes to standard output. To direct output to a file per input
file, use the -o option to specify an extension for output files. If the -o option is
specified without a parameter, an extension of out is assumed.

Likewise, error messages go to standard error by default. Use the -l option to create a
log file per input file. If the -l option is specified without a parameter, an extension
of log is assumed.

By default, generated output and log files are created in the current directory. Use the
-O option to specify an explicit output directory. If the -O option is specified without
a parameter, the input file's directory is used.

sdfcli executes each argument with a -h flag and converts the resultant output to nicely
formatted SDF. An argument of "-" specifies that the help should be read from standard
input.

Formatting is done as follows:

1. lines are tagged as Example paragraphs, with the first line formatted to wrap option
usage specifications nicely

2. if a line is found that starts with 'options:', it is replaced with a Body paragraph
saying "The options are:", and the following lines are formatted as a table of codes
and descriptions

3. if a line is found that starts with 'aliases:', it is replaced with a Body paragraph
saying "The aliases are:", and the following lines are formatted as a table of names
and descriptions

4. each option code in the table is formatted as a hypertext jump to a tag called cmd_opt
where:

· cmd is the command name

· opt is the option code

The -w option specifies at what column to wrap option specifications. The default is 50 -
this is the best for output imported into the Mincom templates.

LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS


The table formats used are hard coded.
