(In +particular, the "Regenerating Configuration Files" section in README is of +interest to both users and contributors.) + +(This file could probably use some other "sections" in addition to the +initially-provided sections. Please help by adding as appropriate.) + +DOCUMENTATION +============= + + All the documentation for Newlib comes as part of the machine-readable +distribution. Functions are documented in the source files, although not +every file contains documentation, as many functions share manual page +information. For example, lround(), lroundf(), llround(), and llroundf() +share a single man page, which is in the source for lround(). The documentation +is written partially in a custom format and partially in Texinfo format. + + The custom part comprises makedoc.c and doc.str, both of which are in the +doc directory. doc.str is a macro file that can be used to define things to +be done by makedoc, using building blocks that are built into makedoc.c. +The basic function of makedoc is two-fold. First, it recognizes comments in +the proper format to pull out of source files. Second, it adds some Texinfo +commands as well as translating certain sequences into the appropriate +Texinfo commands. Refer to makedoc.c and doc.str for what these are. +(makedoc.c is not particularly-well commented.) Another way to see how they +work is to simply examine the source files with documentation comments. + +(A couple of examples that use some of the fancier options: + libm/common/s_isnan.c ("o+" variable-"bullet" list), + libc/stdio/sprintf.c ("O+" bullet list; "." for example code).) + + In addition to the makedoc.c stuff, Texinfo commands can be directly +used. Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to +produce both on-line information and a printed manual. You can use one of the +Info formatting commands to create the on-line version of the documentation +and TeX (or `texi2roff') to typeset the printed version. While Newlib contains +a copy of the texinfo package (texinfo.tex), the manual for it is not +included. The latest one may be found at + +http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/texinfo.html + +(which could be for a newer version of texinfo.tex than is included in Newlib). + + In addition to Texinfo commands, straight TeX commands can also be used, +but these, however, should be carefully limited and be given alternates for +when a non-printed manual is produced--such as when info pages are produced. +For an example of this kind of usage, see libm/common/s_logb.c. + + Please note that most files with documentation contain both an +ANSI_SYNOPSIS and a TRAD_SYNOPSIS section. The TRAD_SYNOPSIS section gets +deleted (since at least 2000) by makedoc, so when working on files these +can safely be deleted and if you're making a new file, there is no need +to add the TRAD_SYNOPSIS section. + + If writing a new function that requires documentation, the required +sections are FUNCTION, INDEX, ANSI_SYNOPSIS (or SYNOPSIS), DESCRIPTION, RETURNS, +and PORTABILITY. BUGS and SEEALSO should be added as appropriate. + + Source files which contain documentation are processed into ".def" +files with the extracted information. These .def files are noted in the +makefiles as either CHEWOUT_FILES in the libc makefiles or chobj in the libm +makefiles. These .def files need to be included into an appropriate .tex +file for inclusion in the manuals (one each for libc and libm). Pay special +attention under libc, as the manual is arranged by header file name, but not +all header files are represented by directories (e.g. wcsftime.c is found +under libc/time, but goes under wchar.h in the manual.) + +In summary, to add new documentation: + +1. Add properly-formatted comments to source file (e.g. src.c); +2. add "chewout" file to list in Makefile.am (CHEWOUT_FILES in libc or chobj in + libm) (e.g. src.def), re-generate Makefile.in; +3. add file to something.tex; +4. make ChangeLog entry and generate patch. + +EL/IX (ELIX_LEVEL_n, ELIX_n_SOURCES) +==================================== + + Some of the Makefiles contain definitions of ELIX_LEVEL_1 ... ELIX_LEVEL_4, +and corresponding definitions for ELIX_1_SOURCES ... ELIX_4_SOURCES. +These are referring to the EL/IX standards created by Red Hat for the +purpose of Linux-based open standards for embedded development. In brief, +the intent is to define multiple levels for API functions that allows the +user to size the library appropriately for their application--at least in +terms of the predefined lists. For full details, refer to the EL/IX home +page at http://sources.redhat.com/elix/. The likely best way to tell how to +classify any new functions in terms of needing an ELIX level qualification +is to ask Jeff Johnston. To see how it works and try classification on your +own, refer to the API specification on the web site, + +http://sources.redhat.com/elix/api/current/api.pdf. + +(Unfortunately, it is not complete with respect to either the C99 or POSIX +standards, so particular C and POSIX functions may or may not be found.) + + The following definitions of the levels are from the (draft) standard. + +Level 1 + RTOS compatible layer. Functions available in both Linux and a +typical deeply embedded operating system (eCos, RTEMS, VxWorks, pSOS, VRTX32, +etc.). Some functions may have reduced or modified semantics. + +Level 2 + Linux single process only. Includes level 1 plus any functions from Linux +that are not easily implemented on an RTOS. Also full implementations of +reduced functions in Level 1. + +Level 3 + Linux multiprocess for embedded applications. This is basically POSIX.1 +with some of the functions that are obviously not for embedded applications +(such as job control) removed. + +Level 4 + Full POSIX or Linux compliance. Essentially these are functions that are +present in a standard Linux kernel but are irrelevant to an embedded system. +These functions do not form part of the EL/IX API. diff --git a/newlib/doc/doc.str b/newlib/doc/doc.str index 4d557c6..51ecef7 100644 --- a/newlib/doc/doc.str +++ b/newlib/doc/doc.str @@ -22,10 +22,6 @@ quickref ;
