NAME
       fcc  is a tool to rapidly generate the basic framework of C++ class and
       components. fcc can generate  inline  files,  testing  components,  and
       basic copyright notices.

SYNOPSIS
       fcc -class list of class names -author author's name [-namespace names-
       pace_name]  [-overwrite]  [-verbose]   [-no_unit_test]   [-no_makefile]
       [-project    project_name]    [-sccs_keywords]    [-continuus_keywords]
       [-open_source_notice]    [-copyright    [copyright]]    [-base_filename
       base_filename]   [-no_copy_ctor]  [-no_assignment_operator]  [-no_ctor]
       [-no_dtor]      [-public_copy_ctor]       [-public_assignment_operator]
       [-no_dump_diagnostics]   [-no_check_valid]   [-no_icc]  [-settings_file
       filename]

DESCRIPTION
       fcc takes the name of one or more classes and generates the appropriate
       code and header files for those classes. By default, it includes a con-
       structor, destructor,  private  copy  constructor,  private  assignment
       operator,  unit  testing,  and appropriate inlines. It also generates a
       raw BSD-style makefile.

OPTIONS
       -class list of class names
               Names of classes to be generated. The files will be named after
              the  first class name on the list. Class names must be separated
              by whitespace.

       -author author's name
               Your name here.

       -namespace namespace name
               Wrap the output in a specified namespace.

       -verbose
               Explain in excruciating detail what the program is doing.

       -no_unit_test
               Do not generate unit-testing definitions in the  source  files.
              This is an empty method; it's up to the user to define appropri-
              ate tests.

       -no_makefile
               Do not generate a makefile for this code.

       -project project_name
               Define a project for this makefile. Right now this option  does
              nothing.

       -sccs_keywords
               Generate IDs appropriate to SCCS.

       -continuus_keywords
               Generate keywords for the Continuus Version System.

       -open_source_notice
               Add  some  comments about how this code is open source and per-
              mission to copy in granted yadda yadda...

       -copyright [copyright]
               Adds your copyright notice to the code.

       -base_filename base_filename
               Set the name of the files output. Defaults to first class  name
              listed if not set.

       -no_copy_ctor
               Do not provide a copy constructor in the output code.

       -no_assignment_operator
               Do not provide an assignment operator in the output code.

       -no_ctor
               Do not provide a default constructor in the output code.

       -no_dtor
               Do not provide a destructor in the output code.

       -public_copy_ctor
               Put  the  copy constructor in the public section instead of the
              private section.

       -public_assignment_operator
               Put the assignment operator in the public  section  instead  of
              the private section.

       -no_dump_diagnostics
               Do not provide a debugging method.

       -no_check_valid
               Do  not provide a Programming By Contract style method to check
              for invariants.

       -no_icc
               Do not provide a file for class inlines.

       -settings_file filename
               Get options from a settings file. Right now  this  option  does
              nothing.
