Function

Description

acdtable is used to create the table of parameters, allowed values and defaults, used in the application documentation and to provide user help.

Usage

Command line arguments

The first parameter is the name of the program to compile. All other command line parameters and qualifiers are defined for that program - see the documentation for the program of choice.

Output file format

The output file is empty, but any format available to the specified program can be used.

Data files

Acdtable will use any data files specified in the ACD file of the specified program, but will ignore any data files that are only used directly by the program's code.

Notes

acdtable does not have its own options, but takes a single parameter which is the name of the EMBOSS application that is being testsed. It is invoked by specifying the name of the application to be tested after the name of the utility application itself:

acdtable ApplicationName

Acceptable expected and default values can be generated automatically for most ACD datatypes. In other cases, the allowed values is defined with the valid: global attribute, and the default value by the expected: global attribute (see EMBOSS Developers Manual).
