NAME
ExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd - Quick commands for handling typemaps
SYNOPSIS
From XS:
INCLUDE_COMMAND: $^X -MExtUtils::Typemaps::Cmd \
-e "print embeddable_typemap(q{Excommunicated})"
Loads "ExtUtils::Typemaps::Excommunicated", instantiates an object, and
dumps it as an embeddable typemap for use directly in your XS file.
DESCRIPTION
This is a helper module for ExtUtils::Typemaps for quick one-liners,
specifically for inclusion of shared typemaps that live on CPAN into an
XS file (see SYNOPSIS).
For this reason, the following functions are exported by default:
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
embeddable_typemap
Given a list of identifiers, "embeddable_typemap" tries to load typemaps
from a file of the given name(s), or from a module that is an
"ExtUtils::Typemaps" subclass.
Returns a string representation of the merged typemaps that can be
included verbatim into XS. Example:
print embeddable_typemap(
"Excommunicated", "ExtUtils::Typemaps::Basic", "./typemap"
);
This will try to load a module "ExtUtils::Typemaps::Excommunicated" and
use it as an "ExtUtils::Typemaps" subclass. If that fails, it'll try
loading "Excommunicated" as a module, if that fails, it'll try to read a
file called Excommunicated. It'll work similarly for the second
argument, but the third will be loaded as a file first.
After loading all typemap files or modules, it will merge them in the
specified order and dump the result as an embeddable typemap.
