NAME

       SFIDL - SFI IDL Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       sfidl [OPTIONS] input.idl

DESCRIPTION

       sfidl  generates  glue code for Bse objects and plugins from interface definition language
       files.

OPTIONS

       --help [binding]
              Print general  usage  information.  Or,  if  binding  was  specified,  print  usage
              information for this language binding.

       --version
              Print program version.

       -I DIRECTORY
              Add DIRECTORY to include path.

       --print-include-path
              Print include path.

       --nostdinc
              Prevents standard include path from being used.

   Language bindings:
       --client-c
              Generate C client language binding.

       --client-c
              Generate C core language binding.

       --host-c
              Generate C host language binding.

       --client-cxx
              Generate C++ client language binding.

       --core-cxx
              Generate C++ core language binding.

       --plugin
              Generate C++ plugin language binding.

       --list-types
              Print all types defined in the idlfile. This option is used only for BSE internally
              to ease transition from C to C++ types.

   Language binding options:
       --header
              Generate header file, this is the default.

       --source
              Generate source file.

       --prefix prefix
              C host/client language binding option, sets the prefix for C functions. The  prefix
              ensures  that  no  symbol  clashes  will occur between different programs/libraries
              which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your
              application/library.

       --init name
              Set the name of the init function for C host/core bindings.

       --namespace namespace
              C++  client language binding, sets the namespace to use for the code. The namespace
              ensures that no symbol clashes  will  occur  between  different  programs/libraries
              which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your
              application/library.

       --lower
              Select   lower   case   identifiers   in   the   C++   client   language    binding
              (create_midi_synth), this is the default.

       --mixed
              Select mixed case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (createMidiSynth).
