OPTIONS


.PP




.TP
\fB\-\-help\fP [\fIbinding\fP] 
.br
Print general usage information. Or, if \fIbinding\fP was specified,
print usage information for this language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-version\fP 
.br
Print program version.

.TP
\fB\-I\fP \fIDIRECTORY\fP 
.br
Add \fIDIRECTORY\fP to include path.

.TP
\fB\-\-print\-include\-path\fP 
.br
Print include path.

Language bindings:


.PP




.TP
\fB\-\-client\-c\fP 
.br
Generate C client language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-client\-c\fP 
.br
Generate C core language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-host\-c\fP 
.br
Generate C host language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-client\-cxx\fP 
.br
Generate C++ client language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-core\-cxx\fP 
.br
Generate C++ core language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-plugin\fP 
.br
Generate C++ plugin language binding.

.TP
\fB\-\-list\-types\fP

Language binding options:

.TP
\fB\-\-header\fP 
.br
Generate header file, this is the default.

.TP
\fB\-\-source\fP 
.br
Generate source file.

.TP
\fB\-\-prefix\fP \fIprefix\fP 
.br
C host/client language binding option, sets the prefix for C functions. The prefix
ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between different programs/libraries
which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your
application/library.

.TP
\fB\-\-init\fP \fIname\fP 
.br
Set the name of the init function for C host/core bindings.

.TP
\fB\-\-namespace\fP \fInamespace\fP 
.br
C++ client language binding, sets the namespace to use for the code. The namespace
ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between different programs/libraries
which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your
application/library.

.TP
\fB\-\-lower\fP 
.br
Select lower case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (create_midi_synth), this is the default.

.TP
\fB\-\-mixed\fP 
.br
Select mixed case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (createMidiSynth).
