.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIFlexml\fR reads \fIname\fR\fI.dtd\fR which must be a \s-1DTD \s0(Document Type
Definition) describing the format of \s-1XML \s0(Extensible Markup Language)
documents, and produces a \*(L"validating\*(R" \s-1XML \s0\fIprocessor\fR with an
interface to support \s-1XML \s0\fIapplication\fRs.  Proper applications can be
generated optionally from special \*(L"action files\*(R", either for linking
or textual combination with the processor.
.PP
The generated processor will only validate documents that conform
strictly to the \s-1DTD, \s0\fIwithout extending it\fR, more precisely we in
practice restrict \s-1XML\s0 rule [28] to
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  [28r] doctypedecl ::= \*(Aq<!DOCTYPE\*(Aq S Name S ExternalID S? \*(Aq>\*(Aq
.Ve
.PP
where the \f(CW\*(C`ExternalId\*(C'\fR denotes the used \s-1DTD.  \s0(One might say, in
fact, that \fIflexml\fR implements \*(L"non-extensible\*(R" markup. :)
.PP
The generated processor is a \fIflex\fR(1) scanner, by default named
\&\fIname\fR\fI.l\fR with a corresponding C header file \fIname\fR\fI.h\fR for
separate compilation of generated applications.  Optionally \fIflexml\fR
takes an \fIactions\fR file with per-element actions and produces a C
file with element functions for an \s-1XML\s0 application with entry points
called from the \s-1XML\s0 processor (it can also fold the \s-1XML\s0 application
into the \s-1XML\s0 processor to make stand-alone \s-1XML\s0 applications but this
prevents sharing of the processor between applications).
.PP
In \*(L"\s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0 we list the possible options, in \*(L"\s-1ACTION FILE
FORMAT\*(R"\s0 we explain how to write applications, in \*(L"\s-1COMPILATION\*(R"\s0 we
explain how to compile produced processors and applications into
executables, and in \*(L"\s-1BUGS\*(R"\s0 we list the current limitations of the
system before giving standard references.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
\&\fIFlexml\fR takes the following options.
.IP "\fB\-\-stand\-alone\fR, \fB\-A\fR" 4
.IX Item "--stand-alone, -A"
Generate a \fIstand-alone\fR scanner application.  If combined with
\&\fB\-a\fR\fIactions\fR then the application will be named as \fIactions\fR with
the extension replaced by \fI.l\fR, otherwise it will be in \fIname\fR\fI.l\fR.
Conflicts with \fB\-S\fR, \fB\-H\fR, and \fB\-D\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-actions\fR \fIactions\fR, \fB\-a\fR \fIactions\fR" 4
.IX Item "--actions actions, -a actions"
Uses the \fIactions\fR file to produce an \s-1XML\s0 application in the file
with the same name as \fIactions\fR after replacing the extension with
\&\fI.c\fR.  If combined with \fB\-A\fR then instead the stand-alone
application will include the action functions.
.IP "\fB\-\-dummy\fR \fB[\fR\fIapp_name\fR\fB]\fR, \fB\-D\fR \fB[\fR\fIapp_name\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "--dummy [app_name], -D [app_name]"
Generate a dummy application with just empty functions to be called by the
\&\s-1XML\s0 processor. If \fIapp_name\fR is not specified on the command line, it
defaults to \fIname\fR\fI\-dummy.c\fR.  If combined with \fB\-a\fR \fIactions\fR then the
application will insert the specified actions and be named as \fIactions\fR
with the extension replaced by \fI.c\fR.  Conflicts with \fB\-A\fR; implied by
\&\fB\-a\fR unless either of \fB\-SHD\fR is specified.
.IP "\fB\-\-debug\fR, \fB\-d\fR" 4
.IX Item "--debug, -d"
Turns on debug mode in the flex scanner and also prints out the
details of the \s-1DTD\s0 analysis performed by \fIflexml\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-header\fR \fB[\fR\fIheader_name\fR\fB]\fR, \fB\-H\fR \fB[\fR\fIheader_name\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "--header [header_name], -H [header_name]"
Generate the header file. If the \fIheader_name\fR is not specified on the
command line, defaults to \fIname\fR\fI.h\fR.  Conflicts with \fB\-A\fR; on by
default if none of \fB\-SHD\fR specified.
.IP "\fB\-\-lineno\fR, \fB\-L\fR" 4
.IX Item "--lineno, -L"
Makes the \s-1XML\s0 processor (as produced by \fIflex\fR(1)) count the lines in
the input and keep it available to \s-1XML\s0 application actions in the
integer \f(CW\*(C`yylineno\*(C'\fR.  (This is off by default as the performance
overhead is significant.)
.IP "\fB\-\-quiet\fR, \fB\-q\fR" 4
.IX Item "--quiet, -q"
Prevents the \s-1XML\s0 processor (as produced by \fIflex\fR(1)) from reporting 
the error it runs into on stderr. Instead, users will have to pool for
error messages with the \fIparse_err_msg()\fR function.
By default, error messages are written on stderr.
.IP "\fB\-\-dry\-run\fR, \fB\-n\fR" 4
.IX Item "--dry-run, -n"
\&\*(L"Dry-run\*(R": do not produce any of the output files.
.IP "\fB\-\-pubid\fR \fIpubid\fR, \fB\-p\fR \fIpubid\fR" 4
.IX Item "--pubid pubid, -p pubid"
Sets the document type to be \f(CW\*(C`PUBLIC\*(C'\fR with the identifier \fIpubid\fR
instead of \f(CW\*(C`SYSTEM\*(C'\fR, the default.
.IP "\fB\-\-init_header\fR \fIinit_header\fR, \fB\-i\fR \fIinit_header\fR" 4
.IX Item "--init_header init_header, -i init_header"
Puts a line containing \f(CW\*(C`#include "init_header"\*(C'\fR in the \f(CW\*(C`%{...%}\*(C'\fR section
at the top of the generated .l file.  This may be useful for making various
flex \f(CW\*(C`#define\*(C'\fRs, for example \f(CW\*(C`YY_INPUT\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`YY_DECL\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-sysid\fR=\fIsysid\fR" 4
.IX Item "--sysid=sysid"
Overrides the \f(CW\*(C`SYSTEM\*(C'\fR id of the accepted \s-1DTD.\s0 Sometimes useful when your
dtd is placed in a subdirectory.
.IP "\fB\-\-root\-tags\fR \fIroottags\fR, \fB\-r\fR \fIroottags\fR" 4
.IX Item "--root-tags roottags, -r roottags"
Restricts the \s-1XML\s0 processor to validate only documents with one of the
root elements listed in the comma-separated \fIroottags\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-scanner\fR \fB[\fR\fIscanner_name\fR\fB]\fR, \fB\-S\fR \fB[\fR\fIscanner_name\fR\fB]\fR" 4
.IX Item "--scanner [scanner_name], -S [scanner_name]"
Generate the scanner. If \fIscanner_name\fR is not given on command line, it
defaults to \fIname\fR\fI.l\fR.  Conflicts with \fB\-A\fR; on by default if none of
\&\fB\-SHD\fR specified.
.IP "\fB\-\-skel\fR \fIskel\fR, \fB\-s\fR \fIskel\fR" 4
.IX Item "--skel skel, -s skel"
Use the skeleton scanner \fIskel\fR instead of the default.
.IP "\fB\-\-act\-bin\fR \fIflexml-act\fR, \fB\-T\fR \fIflexml-act\fR" 4
.IX Item "--act-bin flexml-act, -T flexml-act"
This is an internal option mainly used to test versions of flexml not
installed yet.
.IP "\fB\-\-stack\-increment\fR \fIstack_increment\fR, \fB\-b\fR \fIstack_increment\fR" 4
.IX Item "--stack-increment stack_increment, -b stack_increment"
Sets the \s-1FLEXML_BUFFERSTACKSIZE\s0 to stack_increment (100000 by default). This
controls how much the data stack grows in each \fIrealloc()\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-tag\-prefix\fR \fI\s-1STRING\s0\fR, \fB\-O\fR \fI\s-1STRING\s0\fR" 4
.IX Item "--tag-prefix STRING, -O STRING"
Use \s-1STRING\s0 to differentiate multiple versions of flexml in the same C
code, just like the \-P flex argument.
.IP "\fB\-\-uri\fR \fIuri\fR, \fB\-u\fR \fIuri\fR" 4
.IX Item "--uri uri, -u uri"
Sets the \s-1URI\s0 of the \s-1DTD,\s0 used in the \f(CW\*(C`DOCTYPE\*(C'\fR header, to the
specified \fIuri\fR (the default is the \s-1DTD\s0 name).
.IP "\fB\-\-verbose\fR, \fB\-v\fR" 4
.IX Item "--verbose, -v"
Be verbose: echo each \s-1DTD\s0 declaration (after parameter expansion).
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR, \fB\-V\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version, -V"
Print the version of \fIflexml\fR and exit.
.SH "ACTION FILE FORMAT"
.IX Header "ACTION FILE FORMAT"
Action files, passed to the \fB\-a\fR option, are \s-1XML\s0 documents conforming
to the \s-1DTD \s0\fIflexml\-act.dtd\fR which is the following:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  <!ELEMENT actions ((top|start|end)*,main?)>
\&  <!ENTITY % C\-code "(#PCDATA)">
\&  <!ELEMENT top   %C\-code;>
\&  <!ELEMENT start %C\-code;>  <!ATTLIST start tag NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
\&  <!ELEMENT end   %C\-code;>  <!ATTLIST end   tag NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
\&  <!ELEMENT main  %C\-code;>
.Ve
.PP
The elements should be used as follows:
.ie n .IP """top""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWtop\fR" 4
.IX Item "top"
Use for top-level C code such as global declarations, utility
functions, etc.
.ie n .IP """start""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWstart\fR" 4
.IX Item "start"
Attaches the code as an action to the element with the name of the
required "\f(CW\*(C`tag\*(C'\fR\*(L" attribute.  The \*(R"\f(CW\*(C`%C\-code;\*(C'\fR" component should be C
code suitable for inclusion in a C block (i.e., within \f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR...\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR so
it may contain local variables); furthermore the following extensions
are available:
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR: Can be used to access the value of the
\&\fIattribute\fR as set with \fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR\fIvalue\fR in the start tag.
In C, \f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR will be interpreted depending on the
declaration of the attribute. If the attribute is declared as an
enumerated type like
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  <!ATTLIST attrib (alt1 | alt2 |...) ...>
.Ve
.Sp
then the C attribute value is of an enumerated type with the elements
written \f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR\fIalt1\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR\fIalt2\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR, etc.; furthermore an \fIunset\fR
attribute has the \*(L"value\*(R" \f(CW\*(C`{!\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR.  If the attribute is
not an enumeration then \f(CW\*(C`{\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR is a null-terminated C
string (of type \f(CW\*(C`char*\*(C'\fR) and \f(CW\*(C`{!\*(C'\fR\fIattribute\fR\f(CW\*(C`}\*(C'\fR is \f(CW\*(C`NULL\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """end""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWend\fR" 4
.IX Item "end"
Similarly attaches the code as an action to the end tag with the name
of the required "\f(CW\*(C`tag\*(C'\fR\*(L" attribute; also here the \*(R"\f(CW\*(C`%C\-code;\*(C'\fR\*(L"
component should be C code suitable for inclusion in a C block.  In
case the element has \*(R"Mixed" contents, i.e, was declared to permit
\&\f(CW\*(C`#PCDATA\*(C'\fR, then the following variable is available:
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`{#PCDATA}\*(C'\fR: Contains the text (\f(CW\*(C`#PCDATA\*(C'\fR) of the element as a
null-terminated C string (of type \f(CW\*(C`char*\*(C'\fR).  In case the Mixed
contents element actually mixed text and child elements then \f(CW\*(C`pcdata\*(C'\fR
contains the plain concatenation of the text fragments as one string.
.ie n .IP """main""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWmain\fR" 4
.IX Item "main"
Finally, an optional "\f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR" element can contain the C \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR
function of the \s-1XML\s0 application.  Normally the \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR function should
include (at least) one call of the \s-1XML\s0 processor:
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`yylex()\*(C'\fR:
Invokes the \s-1XML\s0 processor produced by \fIflex\fR(1) on the \s-1XML\s0 document
found on the standard input (actually the \f(CW\*(C`yyin\*(C'\fR file handle: see the
manual for \fIflex\fR(1) for information on how to change this as well as
the name \f(CW\*(C`yylex\*(C'\fR).
.Sp
If no \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR action is provided then the following is used:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  int main() { exit(yylex()); }
.Ve
.PP
It is advisable to use \s-1XML\s0 <\f(CW\*(C`![CDATA[\*(C'\fR ... \f(CW\*(C`]]\*(C'\fR> sections
for the C code to make sure that all characters are properly passed to
the output file.
.PP
Finally note that \fIFlexml\fR handles empty elements
<\fItag\fR\f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR> as equivalent to
<\fItag\fR><\f(CW\*(C`/\*(C'\fR\fItag\fR>.

.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
The present version of \fIflexml\fR is to be considered in \*(L"early beta\*(R"
state thus bugs should be expected (and the author would like to hear
about them).  Here are some known restrictions that we hope to
overcome in the future:
.IP "\(bu" 4
The character set is merely \s-1ASCII \s0(actually \fIflex\fR(1) handles 8 bit
characters but only the \s-1ASCII\s0 character set is common with the \s-1XML\s0
default \s-1UTF\-8\s0 encoding).
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`ID\*(C'\fR type attributes are not validated for uniqueness; \f(CW\*(C`IDREF\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`IDREFS\*(C'\fR attributes are not validated for existence.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \f(CW\*(C`ENTITY\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ENTITIES\*(C'\fR attribute types are not supported.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`NOTATION\*(C'\fR declarations are not supported.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The various \f(CW\*(C`xml:\*(C'\fR\-attributes are treated like any other attributes;
in particular \f(CW\*(C`xml:spaces\*(C'\fR should be supported.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \s-1DTD\s0 parser is presently a perl hack so it may parse some DTDs
badly; in particular the expansion of parameter entities may not
conform fully to the \s-1XML\s0 specification.
.IP "\(bu" 4
A child should be able to \*(L"return\*(R" a value for the parent (also called
a \fIsynthesised attribute\fR).  Similarly an element in Mixed contents
should be able to inject text into the \f(CW\*(C`pcdata\*(C'\fR of the parent.

Paxson, and the rest of the \fIflex\fR maintainers and \s-1GNU\s0 developers for
a great tool.
