The mcopidl command is the IDL file compiler for MCOP, the Multimedia Communication Protocol used by aRts. Interfaces in aRts are defined in IDL, a language independent Interface Definition Language. The mcopidl utility accepts an IDL file as input and generates C++ header and source files for a class implementing the interface. The command accepts the following syntax:
mcopidl [ options
] filename
The valid options are:
-I
directory
Search in directory
for includes.
-e
name
Exclude a struct, interface, or enum type name
from code generation.
-t
Also create .mcoptype
/.mcopclass
files containing type information
for the IDL file.
More information about MCOP and IDL is covered in the section Interfaces and IDL.
