Usage

classes

Overview

This program is intended for checking ABI compliance between different GNUstep Base releases. It is run without arguments, and produces a NewClasses.plist file, containing a dictionary with all of the classes and their class/instance methods. This file should be renamed to OldClasses.plist and classes will compare the results when it is run with the newer version of the library.

Options

classes does not support any command-line options except the standard GNUstep ones.
