kdb gen <templateName> <parentKey> <outputName> [parameters...]
<templateName>
: one of the templates listed below<parentKey>
: the parent key to use, templates may have certain restrictions on e.g. the allowed namespaces You may also use the special value -
(see below).<outputName>
: the base name of the output files. If a template produces multiple files, it will append different suffixes (e.g. file extensions) to this base name.[parameters...]
: a list of parameters, the supported parameters depend on the templateThis command invokes Elektra's code-generator.
It supports different templates. All templates require a parentKey
parameter, because this determines the input for the code-generator, as well as an outputName
parameter to specify the output file(s).
If the given parentKey
is -
, instead of actually invoking the code generator, kdb gen
will just print the filenames of the files that would be written with a valid parentKey
.
For more information see the list of templates below and the man-pages for each of them.
