# gdlgsdoc(1)

produce .gsdoc files from .eomodel files

## NAME

**gdlgsdoc** - produce *.gsdoc* files from *.eomodel* files

## SYNOPSIS

**gdlgsdoc** \[**--verbose**=*level*\] \[**--project=\|--projectName**=*name*\] \[**--documentationDirectory**=*dir*\] \[**--define-***variable*=*value*\] **--template**=*filename* *FILES...*

## DESCRIPTION

**gdlgsdoc** generates *.gsdoc* files from input *.eomodel* files.  The number of the generated files corresponds to the number of the input files.  This tool does not generate HTML, use [**autogsdoc**(1)](/autogsdoc/1.md) for that.

## OPTIONS

- **--verbose=*level***

  Sets the verbosity level for debugging messages.  The default is *0* (no additional messages); *1* sets standard debugging output while *3* sets maximum verbosity.  *2* has the same effect as *1*, any number above *3* has the effect of *3*.

- **--project=*name***

  Sets the project name.

- **--projectName=*name***

  This is an alias for **--project**.

- **--documentationDirectory=*dir***

  Sets the directory for saving the *.gsdoc* file(s) relative to the directory of the input *.eomodel* file(s).  The default is the same directory.

- **--define-*variable*=*value***

  Defines a user *variable* to a specific *value*.  This option can be used multiple times.  Variable placeholders are set in the template file and are substituted with the corresponding value at generation time.  If verbosity level is set to 3, the variable(s)/value(s) are printed to the standard output.

- **--template=*filename***

  Uses *filename* as template for the generated *.gsdoc* file(s).  Note that this is a mandatory option, failing to specify it means that no *.gsdoc* file will be created.
