scribe -- a tool to write your prototypes in C
==================

	I don't feel that prototyping helps encourage the rapid
development of source code.  I think programmers should do the thinking
and leave the drudge work and annoying tasks behind.  That's why I wrote
this program.  Much like the scribes of mideval Europe, this program will
put the illuminations and polish on your creative work.

	scribe understands C (and minimal C++) syntax in a limited fashion
at this point.  It can distinguish unique functions declared in code by
looking carefully at just the implementation.  C++ is my weak language, so
please help me to make the scribe smarter while reading code if this
dialect...

command line options:
-c  --console     write the output file(s) to stdout
-e  --extension   header's extension instead of 'h'
        example:  (file=foo.c --extension=bar header=foo.bar)
-f  --filename    prototype this file only
-h  --help        print this menu and exit
-p  --passive     do not process for extern'ed functions
-s  --suffix      suffix for header's name
        example:  (file=foo.c --suffix=bar header=foobar.h)
-v  --version     print version of scribe and exit

	Options -e and -s can be combined, as well.  Option -c precludes
using either the --extension or the --suffix options.  Whichever of these
switches are on the command line last will survive to rule the Earth with
a steely firm hand.  If something silly happens, like this:

localhost:~/my.project/src$ scribe -s _proto -c -e alt

then only the last option (in this case -e), will happen as scribe goes to
work.
	scribe must be run in the directory containing the source code
files to process.
