NAME

prog2mif - Process source files for insertion in FrameMaker

SYNOPSIS

prog2mif [options] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

prog2mif reads a file containing source code and produces a MIF file suitable for insertion (import) in FrameMaker. If the filename has a pre-defined extention, all reserved keywords of the language associated with that filename extension are highlighted.

The list of known extension and associated languages are:


        c, h                            C program
        C, H, cxx, hxx, cpp, hpp        C++ program
        m                               Objective C program
        ada, a                          ADA program
        vhdl, vhd                       VHDL source
        pl, perl                        PERL source

OPTIONS

-h: Print a short usage message.
-l: Do not select reserved keywords based on the filename extension. Use reserved keywords for the specified language instead. If the specified language is not known, a list of all known language is printed. This option is required when processing from stdin.

WISHLIST

o: Have a user-specified configuration to easily add new languages and filename extensions.
o: Handling of start/end and multi-line comments (a la /*.. */)
o: Handling of quoted text

BUGS

Reserved keywords are highlighted inside C-style comments, pre-processor directives and strings.
