GNU AutoGen/AutoOpts is a two-part project that serves two separate purposes. The two parts are combined because they are inextricably intertwined: AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that must be kept synchronized. AutoOpts is both an example of that and a project in its own right. It is a very powerful configuration file, environment variable and command line option documentation and management tool consisting of a set of AutoGen templates and a run time library that nearly eliminates the hassle of managing, parsing and documenting program options. The self-referential example: http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/man1-autogen.html There are several other examples embedded in AutoGen: A finite state machine generator, string name to enumeration value conversions, and bit map and bit mask management, to name a few. New in 5.17.1 - January, 2013 NEWS entries since the last release: * testing fix: a new template was not rigged to run without autogen installed and its test fell over in such a case. * Added a documentation substitution stanza so that texi, man and mdoc documents may be massaged before being finalized. * Many, many picky warning fixes * Section 5 man pages and mdoc pages can now be emitted with the templates. They still need work, though. * The enumeration and bitmask management templates are now rigged so they work in the build tree without autogen being installed.
