This manual is also available in plain text (1), PostScript (2) and
PDF (3).
1 Overview
*=*=*=*=*=*
It is a common usage to put at the beginning of source code files a
short header giving, for instance, some copyright informations. headache
is a simple and lightweight tool for managing easily these headers.
Among its functionalities, one may mention:
- Headers must generally be generated as comments in source code
files. headache deals with different files types and generates for
each of them headers in an appropriate format.
- Headers automatically detects existing headers and removes them.
Thus, you can use it to update headers in a set of files.
headache is distributed under the terms of the GNU Library General
Public License. See file `LICENSE' of the distribution for more
information.
2 Compilation and installation
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Building headache requires Objective Caml (version 3.06 or up,
available at http://caml.inria.fr/) and GNU Make.
Instructions
1. Configure the system. From the source directory, do:
<<
./configure
>>
This generates the `Makefile' in the source directory. The software is
installed by default in `/usr/local/bin'. This path is customizable
thanks to the `--bindir' option.
2. Build the executable. From the source directory, do:
<<
make
>>
This builds an executable named headache.
3. In order to install it in the directory specified during
configuration, as a superuser, do:
<<
make install
>>
3 Usage
*=*=*=*=
Let us illustrate the use of this tool with a small example. Assume
you have a small project mixing C and Caml code consisting in three
files `foo.c', `bar.ml' and `bar.mli'', and you want to equip them with
some header. First of all, write a header file, i.e. a plain text file
including the information headers must mention. An example of such a
file is given in figure 1. In the following, we assume this file is
named `myheader' and is in the same directory as source files.
Then, in order to generate headers, just run the command:
<<
headache -h myheader foo.c bar.ml bar.mli
>>
Each file is equipped with an header including the text given in the
header file `myheader', surrounded by some extra characters depending on
its format making it a comment (e.g. `(*' and `*)' in `.ml' files). If
you update informations in the header file `myheader', you simply need
to re-run the above command to update headers in source code files:
existing ones are automatically removed.
Similarly, running:
<<
headache -r foo.c bar.ml bar.mli
>>
removes any existing in files `foo.c', `bar.ml' and `bar.mli'. Files
which do not have a header are kept unchanged.

4 Configuration file
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
File types and format of header may be specified by a configuration
file. By default, the default builtin configuration file given in figure
2 is used. You can also use your own configuration file thanks to the
`-c' option:
<<
headache -c myconfig -h myheader foo.c bar.ml bar.mli
>>
In order to write your own configuration, you can follow the example
given in figure 2. A configuration file consists in a list of entries
separated by the character `|'. Each of them is made of two parts
separated by an `->':
- The first one is a regular expression. (Regular expression are
enclosed within double quotes and have the same syntax as in Gnu
Emacs.) headache determines file types according to file basenames;
thus, each file is dealt with using the first line its name matches.
- The second one describes the format of headers for files of this
type. It consists of the name of a model (e.g. `frame'), possibly
followed by a list of arguments. Arguments are named: `open:"(*"'
means that the value of the argument `open' is `(*'.
headache currently supports three models:
- `frame'. With this model, headers are generated in a frame. This
model requires three arguments: `open' and `close' (the opening and
closing sequences for comments) and `line' (the character used to
make the horizontal lines of the frame). Two optional arguments may
be used `margin' (a string printed between the left and right side
of the frame and the border, by default two spaces) and `width' (the
width of the inside of the frame, default is 68).
- `lines'. Headers are typeset between two lines. Three arguments must
be provided: `open' and `close' (the opening and closing sequences
for comments), `line' (the character used to make the horizontal
lines). Three optional arguments are allowd: `begin' (a string
typeset at the beginning of each line, by default two spaces),
`last' (a string typeset at the beginning of the last line) and
`width' (the width of the lines, default is 70).
- `no'. This model generates no header and has no argument.
It is possible to change the default builtin configuration file at
compile time. For this, just edit the file `config_builtin' present in
the source distribution before building the software.
