GNU AutoGen/AutoOpts is a two-part project that serves two separate purposes. The two parts are combined because they are inextricably intertwined:
AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that must be kept synchronized. AutoOpts is both an example of that and a project in its own right. It is a very powerful configuration file, environment variable and command line option documentation and management tool consisting of a set of AutoGen templates and a run time library that nearly eliminates the hassle of managing, parsing and documenting program options. The self-referential example: http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/man1-autogen.html There are several other examples embedded in AutoGen: A finite state machine generator, string name to enumeration value conversions, and bit map and bit mask management, to name a few. New in 5.17.4 - May, 2013 NEWS entries since the last release: * --save-opts documentation cleanup * optionMemberList() will return an allocated string containing the names of the bits set in the option. * OPT_MEMLST_option_name is a new macro that invokes that function for "option_name" * Set membership strings are now more forgiving in their syntax. See "Arg Type Set Membership" in the docs. * tab stripped "here strings" include stripping the backslash escape character when it precedes any whitespace character.
