+.TH GENERATORRUNNER 1 "SEPTEMBER 2009" Linux "User Manuals"
+.SH NAME
+generatorrunner - plugin-based binding source code generator
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B generatorrunner \-\-generator-set=<plugin name> [options] header-file typesystem-file
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B generatorrunner
+is a utility that uses the information taken from APIExtractor
+related to the provided C++ headers and typesystem files and execute
+generators using this information. Generators are plugins and you need
+to specify one using the \-\-generator-set parameter. At the moment there
+are two generators available:
+
+.B qtdoc
+\- Generates Sphinx-based documentation for C++ libraries documented using
+.B qdoc3
+documentation syntax, using the XML files created by the documentation tool
+.B (qdoc3).
+Can be called supplying
+.B \-\-generator-set=qtdoc
+to
+.B generatorrunner
+or by calling the convenience executable
+.B docgenerator.
+
+Other plugins can be used with
+.B generatorrunner,
+provided that they follow the generator front-end specifications,
+and can be written to generate code or documentation for any target
+languague you desire. For more information about the generator front-end
+architecture and current limitations, refer to http://www.pyside.org/home-binding.
