The GTK binding is generated by the girtod utility using APILookup
files and the GIR files from GObject Introspection.

The girtod utility parses APILookup.txt which tells it what to do/parse
using the commands listed below.
There to two types of commands key value pairs and block commands which are denoted with
"command: start" and "command: end".

Top level commands:
-------------------
Top level commands can only be set once and apply to everything.

includeComments: (true/false)
    If true the generated code includes comments/documentation
    for the classes, functions, etc.

license: (block)
    Sets the license text used at the top of the generated files.

outputRoot: path
    Directory where the generated code is stored.

Global commands:
----------------
Global commands can be set more than once, but also affect everything.
srcDir only affects the packages that come after it.

alias: ctype dtype
    Replace ctype with dtype in the generated code.

copy: filename
    Copies filename from inputRoot to outputRoot/srcDir.

dependency DEP: skip
    When generating code don't assume dependency DEB is available.

dependency DEP: (block)
    Apply the lookup definitions in this block to the dependency
    before generating any code.

lookup: filename
    Continue parsing in filename.

srcDir: directory
    The source for the following packages is placed in this directory.

version X.XX: command: value
    Only include the command if the version specified in the Gir file is >= X.XX.
    An OS identifier can also be used as the version.
    Currently supported are: Windows, OSX, Linux and Posix.
    The OS versions can de negated.

version X.XX: (block)
    The same as above but applies to all commands in the block.
    The version can optionaly be used at the end of the block.

wrap: packageName
    Starts wrapping a package, and uses packageName as it's name.
    After this command and until wrap is used again, all commands
    only affect the current package.

    When inside a dependency wrap only sets the package name.

Package commands:
-----------------
These commands apply to the package set with wrap.

addAliases: (block)
    Add the contained text to the alias section of the c definitions.

addConstants: (block)
    Add the contained text to the constant section of the c definitions.

addEnums: (block)
    Add the contained text to the enum section of the c definitions.

addFuncts: (block)
    Add the contained text to the function/callback section of the c definitions.

addStructs: (block)
    Add the contained text to the struct section of the c definitions.

file: girFilename.
    Parse the a GIR file, this command can be used multiple times
    to combine different GIR files. girtod will detect the gir directory.

move: src dest [new_name]
    Move function src to struct dest. Optionaly set a new name for the function.
    dest will be created if it doesn't exist.
    You can list the global functions that haven't been moved by running
    girtod with the --print-free argument.

noAlias: name
    Don't generate any code for alias name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noConstant: name
    Don't generate any code for constant name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noEnum: name
    Don't generate any code for enum name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noCallback: name
    Don't generate any code for callback name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

struct: name
    Sets the struct to which the following commands apply.
    If the struct doesn't exist it will be created.
    The name can be left blank, in which case class and interface can
    be used to create a new class or interface.

Struct commands:
----------------
These commands apply to the struct set with struct.
class and interface will create a struct if it is not set.

alias: ctype dtype
    Replace ctype with dtype in the generated code for the current struct.

array: field length_field
    Set length_field as the length for the field property.
    And handle field as an array and keep the length_field in sync with the actual length.

class: name
    Overwrite the settings in the gir file and generate this struct as a class
    using the specified name.
    Or create a new class if the struct isn't set.

code: (block)
    Add the contained code/text the generated struct/class.

cType: type
    Override the cType used in the GIR file.

extend: base_class
    Explicitly set the base class for this class. base_class should match the name used
    in the GIR files eg: GObject.Object.

implements: interface
    Explicitly set an interface implemented by this class.
    This command can be used more than once.

import: package.module
    Explicitly add imports to the generated file.

interface: name
    Overwrite the settings in the gir file and generate this struct as a interface
    using the specified name.
    Or create a new interface if the struct isn't set.

interfaceCode: (block)
    Add the contained code/text the generated interface.

merge: name
    merge struct 'name' with the struct set by struct:.

namespace: name
    Put the functions in a struct that is used as a namespace.
    name can be blank to generate the functions in module scope.

noCode: name
    Don't generate any code for function name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noCode: true
    Don't generate any code for the struct set by struct:

noExternal: true
    Don't generate the c declaration for the struct set by struct:

noProperty: name
    Don't generate a property for field name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noSignal: name
    Don't generate any code for signal name.
    name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

noStruct: true
    Don't generate the struct declaration for the struct set by struct:

structWrap: ctype dtype
    Wrap ctype as dtype, instead of what's defined by the GIR files.

Function commands:
------------------
The Function commands apply to functions of the currently set struct.
They generaly take the function they apply to as there first argument.

array: func_name param_array [param_length]
    Override the GIR file and handle param_array of function func_name
    as an array whose length is specified by param_length.
    If param_length isn't specified the wrapper assumes the array is zero terminated.
    "Return" can be used for either param_array or param_length for when
    one of them is returned by the function.

in: func_name param_name
    Override the GIR file and don't generate the specified
    parameter of func_name as out or ref.

out: func_name param_name
    Override the GIR file and generate the specified
    parameter of func_name as out.

override: func_name
    Explicitly add the override attribute to function func_name.
    func_name should be the name specified in the GIR file.

ref: func_name param_name
    Override the GIR file and generate the specified
    parameter of func_name as ref.

inout: func_name param_name
    Ditto, Deprecated.
