# typemaker(1)

source and header file generator for Gwenhywfar and AqBanking data structures

## NAME

typemaker - source and header file generator for Gwenhywfar and AqBanking data structures

## SYNOPSIS

*typemaker* \[options\] \<input file(s)\>

## DESCRIPTION

This tool generates source and header files for simple data containers from XML files.  It creates fromDb and toDb functions for structs and getters and setters for any member.

This makes it easier to maintain data containers with many members (as in AB\_TRANSACTION).

A member you add to the XML file will immediately be loaded, saved, destroyed and copied with the rest of the struct upon request (e.g. \_fromDb() will load all members from a GWEN\_DB).

The current version creates a C file and headers for it.

It also creates appropriate API documentation if provided with the source XML file.

## OPTIONS

- \-v

  Increase the verbosity level.

- \--logfile LOGFILE

  Specify a name for the logfile.

- \--logtype LOGTYPE

  Specify the log type.

- \--loglevel LOGLEVEL

  Specify the log level.

- \-d DOMAIN

  DOMAIN is the name of the API, e.g. for AqBanking you would choose AQBANKING\_API, for Gwen GWENHYWFAR\_API etc.  This is used with the list and heritage macros.

- \-o OUTFILE

  Specify the name of the output file (stdout if omitted).

- \--compact

  Write a more compact file.

- \-V, --version

  Print version of this tool and exit
