GTK2HSTYPEGEN

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
