TENTMAKER(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation TENTMAKER(1)NAMEtentmaker - browser based bigtop file editor
USAGEtentmaker [ --port=8192 ] [ file ]
Or, to name a new app with optional table layout:
tentmaker--new AppName style_info
Or, to augment an existing bigtop file:
tentmaker--add file.bigtop style_info
See "STYLES" below for what style_info can be.
DESCRIPTION
This script is a simple web server. Tell it what file you want to edit
(or start from scratch) and an optional port (defaults to 8080). Point
your browser to that port and edit away.
OPTIONS--port (or -p)
Specifies a port for the server. Defaults to 8080.
--new (or -n)
Allows you to specify the name of the app and optionally its table
relationships. Requires a name for the app. The rest of the
command line arguments are depend on what style you use, see
"STYLES".
Normally this flag uses the default bigtop file from
Bigtop::ScriptHelp. For your convenience, you can see it in
examples/default.bigtop. To override it, copy that file to
bigtopdef in the directory where you invoke tentmaker-n, or to
.bigtopdef in your home directory. Edit the file to your heart's
content.
The result must be a valid bigtop file, with one exception. The
file you create will be used as a template toolkit template. But,
only three things are available for subsitution:
app_name
The name of the app from the command line.
no_colon_name
The app name, where all ::'s are replaced with underscores.
short_name
Everything after the last :: in the app_name in lower case.
For example see examples/def.bigtop.tt.
--add (or -a)
Allows you to augment an existing bigtop file prior to editing it.
Requires a bigtop file name. The rest of the command line
arguments as the same as for -n, see "STYLES".
--style (or -s)
Defaults to Original. Specifies which Bigtop::ScriptHelp::Style::
module will handle extra command line arguements and standard
input. See your Style module's docs for details.
STYLES
Any command line arguments not consumed by the options above are passed
to your style backend. If you don't use -s, the Original style is
used. If you do use -s, whatever style you choose is used. All styles
live in the Bigtop::ScriptHelp::Style:: namespace. See their
individual docs for what they know how to do.
This section used to be called "ASCII ART," the code which supported
that got factored out and became the default style
"Bigtop::ScriptHelp::Style::Original". See it for details on ASCII
art.
