echo "This script
requires 2 arguments: The location of the repository and the
destination directory for the spec (both full paths). The first
argument should point to a folder with three folders: static
(where static html files are stored), widl (where WebIDL
sources are stored) and resources (where additional resources
such as wildproc, dtd, xsl... are stored). If the operation
completes successfully the spec will be generated in the apis
folder created on the specified destination folder."

description
When no options
are used the program will generate a header file, and
possibly client and server stubs, proxy and dlldata files, a
typelib, and a UUID file, depending on the contents of the
IDL file. If any of the options -c, -h,
-p, -s, -t, -u, or
--local-stubs are given, widl will only
generate the requested files, and no others. When run with
--dlldata-only, widl will only generate a dlldata
file, and it will contain a list of the names passed as
arguments. Usually the way this file is updated is that each
time widl is run, it reads any existing dlldata file,
and if necessary regenerates it with the same list of names,
but with the present proxy file included.
When run
without any arguments, widl will print a help
message.
options
General
options:
-V
Print version number and exit.
-o,
--output=name
Set the name of the output
file. When generating multiple output files, this sets only
the base name of the file; the respective output files are
then named name.h, name_p.c, etc.
-b
cpu-manufacturer[-kernel]-os
Set the target architecture
when cross-compiling. The target specification is in the
standard autoconf format as returned by config.sub.
Header
options:
-h
Generate header files. The default output filename is
infile.h.
--oldnames
Use old naming conventions.
Type library
options:
-t
Generate a type library. The default output filename is
infile.tlb. If the output file name ends in
.res, a binary resource file containing the type
library is generated instead.
-m32, -m64
Generate a Win32, respectively
Win64, type library.
UUID file
options:
-u
Generate a UUID file. The default output filename is
infile_i.c.
Proxy/stub
generation options:
-c
Generate a client stub file. The
default output filename is infile_c.c.
-Os
Generate inline stubs.
-Oi
Generate old-style interpreted stubs.
-Oif, -Oic, -Oicf
Generate new-style fully
interpreted stubs.
-p
Generate a proxy. The default output filename is
infile_p.c.
--prefix-all=prefix
Prefix to put on the name of
both client and server stubs.
--prefix-client=prefix
Prefix to put on the name of
client stubs.
--prefix-server=prefix
Prefix to put on the name of
server stubs.
-s
Generate a server stub file. The default output filename
is infile_s.c.
--win32, --win64
Only generate 32-bit,
respectively 64-bit code (the default is to generate both
32-bit and 64-bit versions into the same destination
file).
Registration
script options:
-r
Generate a registration script. The default output
filename is infile_r.rgs. If the output file
name ends in .res, a binary resource file containing
the script is generated instead.
Dlldata file
options:
--dlldata-only name1 [name2...]
Regenerate the dlldata file
from scratch using the specified proxy names. The default
output filename is dlldata.c.
Preprocessor
options:
-I path
Add a header search directory
to path. Multiple search directories are allowed.
-D
id[=val]
Define preprocessor macro
id with value val.
-E
Preprocess only.
-N
Do not preprocess input.
Debug
options:
-W
Enable pedantic warnings.
-d n
Set debug level to the non negative integer n. If
prefixed with 0x, it will be interpreted as an
hexadecimal number. For the meaning of values, see the
Debug section.
Miscellaneous
options:
--local-stubs=file
Generate empty stubs for
call_as/local methods in an object interface and write them
to file.
debug
Debug level n is a bitmask with the following meaning:
* 0x01 Tell which resource is parsed (verbose mode)
* 0x02 Dump internal structures
* 0x04 Create a parser trace (yydebug=1)
* 0x08 Preprocessor messages
* 0x10 Preprocessor lex messages
* 0x20 Preprocessor yacc trace
