h2xs [OPTIONS ... ] [headerfile [extra_libraries]] version: 1.23 OPTIONS: -A, --omit-autoload Omit all autoloading facilities (implies -c). -B, --beta-version Use beta $VERSION of 0.00_01 (ignored if -v). -C, --omit-changes Omit creating the Changes file, add HISTORY heading to stub POD. -F, --cpp-flags Additional flags for C preprocessor/compile. -M, --func-mask Mask to select C functions/macros (default is select all). -O, --overwrite-ok Allow overwriting of a pre-existing extension directory. -P, --omit-pod Omit the stub POD section. -X, --omit-XS Omit the XS portion (implies both -c and -f). -a, --gen-accessors Generate get/set accessors for struct and union members (used with -x). -b, --compat-version Specify a perl version to be backwards compatible with. -c, --omit-constant Omit the constant() function and specialised AUTOLOAD from the XS file. -d, --debugging Turn on debugging messages. -e, --omit-enums Omit constants from enums in the constant() function. If a pattern is given, only the matching enums are ignored. -f, --force Force creation of the extension even if the C header does not exist. -g, --global Include code for safely storing static data in the .xs file. -h, -?, --help Display this help message. -k, --omit-const-func Omit 'const' attribute on function arguments (used with -x). -m, --gen-tied-var Generate tied variables for access to declared variables. -n, --name Specify a name to use for the extension (recommended). -o, --opaque-re Regular expression for "opaque" types. -p, --remove-prefix Specify a prefix which should be removed from the Perl function names. -s, --const-subs Create subroutines for specified macros. -t, --default-type Default type for autoloaded constants (default is IV). --use-new-tests Use Test::More in backward compatible modules. --use-old-tests Use the module Test rather than Test::More. --skip-exporter Do not export symbols. --skip-ppport Do not use portability layer. --skip-autoloader Do not use the module C. --skip-strict Do not use the pragma C. --skip-warnings Do not use the pragma C. -v, --version Specify a version number for this extension. -x, --autogen-xsubs Autogenerate XSUBs using C::Scan. --use-xsloader Use XSLoader in backward compatible modules (ignored when used with -X). extra_libraries are any libraries that might be needed for loading the extension, e.g. -lm would try to link in the math library.
