# flxcc(1)

## NAME

Felix Wrapper Generator

## SYNOPSIS

**flxcc control-filename**

## OPERATION

flxcc reads the specified control file to obtain configuration and control data. It then reads and parses a preprocessed C header file, partitioning the definitions it discovers according to their original location.\
 Next, it examines the original C header files for #include statements and matches them up with the pathnames found in the preprocessed input, so as to determine dependencies.\
 Then it emits a Felix wrapper file for each of the C include files which contributed a definition, placing the wrappers for each definition in the appropriate Felix wrapper file.\
 Each wrapper usually embeds the original C #include statement to haul in the required C definitions, includes each Felix include file on which it depends.\
 Flxcc then emits a module statement consisting of an open directive for each dependent module, followed by Felix wrapper defintions corresponding to the contents of the original C include file.

## Control Commands

**data filename**\
 The data command specifies the name of the preprocessed C header file which flxcc should use as its stream of definitions.

**noinclude filename**\
 The noinclude command specifies that the Felix wrapper file should not embed a C #include for the file from which it was generated. This is necessary for some include files which are not intended to be included directly.
