NAME
       plainbox-startprovider - create a new plainbox provider


SYNOPSIS
          plainbox startprovider [-h] [--empty] name


DESCRIPTION
       Creates a new provider from a built-in skeleton.

       The name of the provider must follow the pattern ``YYYY.example.org:name`` where ``YYYY`` is a four-digit
       year when the author of the provider owned the domain (here, ``example.org``) and ``name``  is  arbitrary
       identifier  that  is  managed by the owner of that domain. The identifier should be constrained to ASCII,
       digits and the dash character.

       This naming scheme allows anyone that ever owned a domain name to  come  up  with  non-clashing  provider
       identifiers. Those identifiers are going to be used in fully qualified names of various objects.

       This command creates a new skeleton test provider for PlainBox. The generated content should be edited to
       fit a particular purpose.


OPTIONS
       Positional arguments:

       provider name, eg: YYYY.example.org:some-name

       Optional arguments:

       --empty
              create an empty provider


ABOUT NAMING PROVIDERS
       Plainbox tries to be intuitive where possible but provider names keep  causing  issues  and  make  people
       struggle  with  coming  up  with  correct  and  good  names.   See plainbox-provider-names for a detailed
       discussion of provider names.
