detail = <<- _END_DETAIL
The definitions file (`') can be specified with the
`definitions' option or as the command argument, but not both.
Omitting it or specifying `-' will result in reading definitions from
standard input.
The output file names are based on the template, but generally use the
base name of the definition file. If standard in is read for the
definitions, then `stdin' will be used for that base name. The
suffixes to the base name are gotten from the template. However, the
template file may specify the entire output file name. The generated
files are always created in the current directory. If you need to
place output in an alternate directory, `cd' to that directory and use
the `--templ_dirs' option to search the original directory.
`loop-limit' is used in debugging to stop runaway expansions.

there is no definitions file and advisable if definitions are being
read from stdin. If the definitions are being read from standard in,
the base name defaults to @file{stdin}. Any leading directory components
in the name will be silently removed. If you wish the output file to

comment in `snarf.tpl' to see what the `getdefs(1AG)' comment must

First, create a config file for @code{getdefs},

Note, however, that your functions must be named:

If you wish to be able to run AutoGen as a daemon process, specify
this option. The resulting daemon will be able to receive requests on
either a socket or over a named pipe. The syntax of the connect-type
argument determines the kind of connection:
@table @samp
@item is a number
The address family will default to AF_INET and the number must
represent the port number AutoGen will listen on.
@item contains a colon
The string up to the colon will be looked up. If it matches an
address family, the string after the colon is presumed to be an
address of the appropriate kind. "unix:" addresses should be a
path name with existing directory names, but a non-existent base
file name. "inet:" and "inet6" should be followed by a port number.
@item some other string
The string represents a named pipe. If your system supports
@code{fattach} and @code{connld}, then that will be the name of the
bi-directional pipe that any number of processes can open and
communicate over. If your system does @strong{not} support such things,
then the input pipe will be suffixed with "-in" and the output pipe
suffixed with "-out" and only one client may connect at a time.

for a particular value. That index may be a literal value,
a define option or a value #define-d in the definitions themselves.
@item
The name of a file may be prefixed with @code{$NAME/}.
The @code{$NAME} part of the name string will be replaced with
the define-d value for @code{NAME}.
@item
When AutoGen is finished loading the definitions, the defined values
are exported to the environment with, @code{putenv(3)}.
These values can then be used in shell scripts with @code{$@{NAME@}}

AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that contain

_EndOfDetail_;
prog-man-descrip = <<- _END_MAN_DESCRIP
\fBAutoGen\fP is designed for generating program files that contain
repetitive text with varied substitutions. The goal is to simplify the
maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
This is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text
that must be kept synchronized.
.PP
One common example is the problem of maintaining the code required for
processing program options. Processing options requires a minimum of
four different constructs be kept in proper order in different places
in your program. You need at least: The flag character in the flag
string, code to process the flag when it is encountered, a global
state variable or two, and a line in the usage text.
You will need more things besides this if you choose to implement
long option names, rc/ini file processing, environment variables
and so on.
All of this can be done mechanically; with the proper templates
and this program.
