NAME

       fnidl - generates Python stub and skeleton code from an OMG IDL

SYNOPSIS

       fnidl   [-directory=pathname]   [-package=package]  [-globals=basename]
       [file.idl]

DESCRIPTION

       fnidl is Fnorb’s IDL compiler. It takes interface and type  definitions
       in  IDL  files (or from its standard input), and generates the stub and
       skeleton code required by Fnorb clients and  servers.  fnidl  currently
       assumes  that  you  have a pre-processor named gcc or cpp, somewhere on
       your path.

OPTIONS

       Options currently allowed are those used by your pre-processor plus the
       following:

       -directory=pathname
              All Python module and packages generated by fnidl will be placed
              in the directory  specified  by  pathname  (which  must  already
              exist). The default is the current working directory.

       -package=package
              All Python module and packages generated by fnidl will be placed
              in the specified package under the output directory (see above).
              The  package  name  is in dotted notation (e.g. foo.bar.baz) and
              fnidl will create any packages in the package name that  do  not
              already exist.

       -globals=basename
              Stubs  and skeletons for IDL definitions at the global scope are
              put in the packages basename and basename_skel  instead  of  the
              default _GlobalIDL and _GlobalIDL_skel.
