.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.
