NAME

dk_make_protocol - produce Objective-C protocol declarations from D-Bus introspection data

SYNOPSIS

dk_make_protocol [-1|-2] [-o protocol.h] -i interface.xml

DESCRIPTION

The dk_make_protocol command produces Objective-C protocol declarations from XML-formatted D-Bus interface declarations. These protocol declarations can be used in Objective-C programmes that use DBusKit to communicate with D-Bus.

The interface declaration is specified with the -i switch and the generated protocol declaration will be printed to stdout unless an output file is specified using the -o switch.

By default, the tool generates Objective-C 2 compliant protocol declarations using the "@property"-keyword.

OPTIONS

-i interface.xml

read the interface declaration from interface.xml

-o protocol.h

write the generated protocol declaration to protocol.h

-1

do not use Objective-C 2 features.

-2

use Objective-C 2 features (default)

BUGS

When multiple switches of the same kind are used, the last value specified takes precedence.
