| FIPS tools explained |
| ==================== |
| |
| api_list.pl |
| a script to produce an API description, saying what parameters are |
| for input, output or both. |
| |
| Most often, the direction of a parameter is determined automatically. |
| However, quite a number of them are educated guesses. Either way, |
| the information is stored in the file declarations.dat in this |
| directory, and can be manually corrected; simply go through |
| declarations.dat, look for any value with the key 'direction' |
| where the value contains a question mark. Those should be changed |
| to whatever is true, and the values should be one of the |
| following: |
| |
| <- output |
| -> input |
| <-> both |
| |
| api_fns.pm |
| a module that helps api_list.pl do its job. |
| |
| declarations.dat |
| a file of information about public fips symbols. See api_list.pl |
| above. |
