AutoGen is a software application that generates templates for generating program/text.
AutoGen is an incredible software tool that simplifies the creation and maintenance of large programs that contain repetitive text. Its project is especially beneficial for programs with several blocks of text that require synchronization. It now accepts XML files as definition input, besides CGI data and traditional AutoGen definitions.
One common example where AutoGen comes in handy is creating and maintaining program options code. Processing options requires multiple constructs; thus, the need to maintain these constructs in parallel in different parts of the program arises. Options maintenance is also done countless times. Fortunately, AutoGen comes equipped with an add-on package named AutoOpts that simplifies the maintenance and documentation of program options.
AutoGen has been tested on various platforms, including GNU/Linux, BSD, Apple's OS/X, SVR4-5, HPUX, SCO OpenServer, and Solaris. It is expected to work efficiently on any reasonably modern UNIX system with an ANSI-compliant C compiler. It also runs on WinNT, provided you have CygWin and Guile loaded.
In conclusion, AutoGen is the perfect tool for any software developer looking to simplify complex text creation and maintenance tasks. Its compatibility and ease-of-use make it an essential component of any modern development stack.
