NAME

gtk2hsTypeGen - Program to generate Gtk's object hierarchy in Haskell

SYNOPSIS

gtk2hsTypeGen [--tag=tag ...] [--lib=lib] [--prefix=prefix] [--modname=modName] [--import=[*]importName ...] [--forward=[*]fwdName ...] [--destructor=destrName] [--hierarchy=hierName]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly describes the gtk2hsTypeGen command. It's a helper program necessary to build the Gtk2Hs suite of libraries.

OPTIONS

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options are included below. For a complete description, see the other documentation.

gtk2hsTypeGen accepts the following options:

--tag=tag: generate entries that have the tag tag. Specify `default' for types without tags
--lib=lib: set the lib to use in the c2hs {#context #} declaration (the default is `gtk')
--prefix=prefix: set the prefix to use in the c2hs {#context #} declaration (the default is `gtk')
--modname=modName: specify module name if it does not match the file name, eg a hierarchical module name
--import=[*]importName: additionally import this module without re-exporting it. Use an asterix as prefix if the import should be a .chs import statement, as well as exported from the generated module.
--forward=[*]fwdName: specify a number of modules that are imported. Use an asterix as prefix if the import should be a .chs import statement, as well as exported from the generated module.
--destructor=destrName: specify a non-standard C function pointer that is called to destroy the objects
--hierarchy=hierName: the name of the file containing the hierarchy list, defaults to the built-in list
