.SH SYNOPSIS
|

|
.B interrogate_module

||
|
[

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
This program generates a module-level file for the
|
||
|
.BR interrogate (1) program.
|
||
|
This is a higher level than library, and groups several libraries
|
||
|
together. In particular, the code generated by interrogate_module
|
||
|
typically includes a table of the classes that are to be exported
|
||
|
to Python.
|
||
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.BI "\-oc " output.C
|
||
|
Specify the name of the file to which generated code will be written.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.BI "\-module " module_name
|
||
|
Defines the name of the module this data is associated with. This
|
||
|
is strictly a code-organizational tool. Conceptually, a module is
|
||
|
the highest level of grouping for interrogate data; a module may
|
||
|
contain several libraries. If this is omitted, no module name is
|
||
|
specified.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.BI "\-library " library_name
|
||
|
Defines the name of the library this data is associated with. This
|
||
|
is another code-organizational tool. Typically, there will be one
|
||
|
invocation of interrogate for each library, and there will be
|
||
|
multiple libraries per module. If this is omitted, no library name
|
||
|
is specified.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-c
|
||
|
Generate function wrappers using the C calling convention. Any
|
||
|
scripting language that can call a C function should be able to
|
||
|
make advantage of the interrogate database.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-python
|
||
|
Generate function wrappers using the Python calling convention.
|
||
|
The shared library will be directly loadable as a Python module.
|
||
|
However, C++ objects and methods will be converted into an object
|
||
|
handle and a list of independent Python functions.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-python\-obj
|
||
|
Generate Python function wrappers that convert C++ objects to true
|
||
|
python objects, with all methods converted to Python methods. This
|
||
|
is currently experimental.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-python\-native
|
||
|
Generate Python function wrappers that convert C++ objects to true
|
||
|
python objects, with all methods converted to Python methods. This
|
||
|
is the recommended method for creating Python wrappers.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
Any combination of \fB\-c\fP, \fB\-python\fP, or \fB\-python\-obj\fP
|
||
|
may be specified. If all are omitted, the default is \fB\-c\fP.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B \-track\-interpreter
|
||
|
Generate code within each wrapper function to adjust the global
|
||
|
variable "in_interpreter" to indicated whether code is running
|
||
|
within the Panda C++ environment or within the high-level language.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.BI "\-import " module_name
|
||
|
Used to import an external dependency module.
