Pretty-printing a single class

There are two ways to pretty-print a single class FOO:

	gedoc --force foo.e
	gedoc --force --class=FOO project.ecf

where foo.e is the file containing class FOO, and project.ecf is an ECF file describing an Eiffel project containing class FOO.

The command-line option --force tells gedoc to overwrite the file containing the class being pretty-printed. Without this option, files will not be overwritten and gedoc will emit an error message. Alternatively, the command-line option --interactive can be used. It will ask confirmation to the user before overwriting files. If you want to generate the pretty-printed file in a directory different from the one containing the original class text file, you should use the command-line option --output.

Pretty-printing an Eiffel project

Here is how to pretty-print all Eiffel classes in an Eiffel project:

	gedoc --force project.ecf

where project.ecf is an ECF file describing the Eiffel project. You can also pretty-print a subset of classes in this Eiffel project, using the command-line option --class with wildcards. For example, to pretty-print only the classes of a given Eiffel library whose names start with DS_, just type:

	gedoc --force --class=DS_* project.ecf

As seen in the previous section, the command-line option --output can be used to generate the pretty-printed files in a directory different from the ones contaning the original class text files. The command-line option --library-prefix can also be used to generate the pretty-printed files in a subfolder of this output directory whose name is the name of the Eiffel library containing these Eiffel classes (one subfolder per library).
