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.
