.TH H2XS 1 "August 9, 1994"
.AT 3
.SH NAME
h2xs \- convert .h C header files to Perl extensions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B h2xs [-Aachfm] [-n module_name] [headerfile [extra_libraries]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I h2xs
builds a Perl extension from any C header file. The extension will include
functions which can be used to retrieve the value of any #define statement
which was in the C header.
.PP
The
.I module_name
will be used for the name of the extension. If module_name is not supplied
then the name of the header file will be used, with the first character
capitalized.
.PP
If the extension might need extra libraries, they should be included
here. The extension Makefile.PL will take care of checking whether
the libraries actually exist and how they should be loaded.
The extra libraries should be specified in the form -lm -lposix, etc,
just as on the cc command line. By default, the Makefile.PL will
search through the library path determined by Configure. That path
can be augmented by including arguments of the form -L/another/library/path
in the extra-libraries argument.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-n module_name
Specifies a name to be used for the extension, e.g., -n RPC::DCE
.TP
.B \-f
Allows an extension to be created for a header even if that header is
not found in /usr/include.
.TP
.B \-c
Omit constant() from the .xs file and corresponding specialised AUTOLOAD from
the .pm file.
.TP
.B \-A
Deprecated synonym for -c.
.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
# Default behavior, extension is Rusers
h2xs rpcsvc/rusers
# Same, but extension is RUSERS
h2xs -n RUSERS rpcsvc/rusers
# Extension is rpcsvc::rusers. Still finds <rpcsvc/rusers.h>
h2xs rpcsvc::rusers
# Extension is ONC::RPC. Still finds <rpcsvc/rusers.h>
h2xs -n ONC::RPC rpcsvc/rusers
# Without constant() or AUTOLOAD
h2xs -c rpcsvc/rusers
# Creates templates for an extension named RPC
h2xs -cfn RPC
# Extension is ONC::RPC.
h2xs -cfn ONC::RPC
# Makefile.PL will look for library -lrpc in
# additional directory /opt/net/lib
h2xs rpcsvc/rusers -L/opt/net/lib -lrpc
