NAME
     valabind - vala to swig interface conversor


SYNOPSIS
     valabind [-h] [-x] [-v] [-V vapidir] [-o ofile] [-m modname] [-p profile]
              [-N namespace] [-D SYMBOL] [--swig] [--node-ffi] [--ctypes]
              [--gir] [--cxx] vapifile

DESCRIPTION
     Valabind is a program written in Vala that aims to generate nodejs, c++
     or SWIG interfaces (.i) from a vala-generated or hand-made vapi files.

     SWIG opens the door to create bindings for Python, Perl, ruby, lua, and
     many other scripting languages.

     -h          show help message

     -o OUTPUT   specify output file name

     -m NAME     specify module name

     -N NS       include given namespace for processing

     -D SYMBOL   define a preprocessor symbol inside Vala code

     -p PROFILE  select Vala profile (posix, gobject, dova)

     -x          generate c++ code for SWIG bindings

     -v          show version information

     -V PATH     specify an alternative vapidir path

NOTES
     Valabind processes a single module at a time: the module named with -m is
     the only one whose classes, structs, enums and methods are emitted in the
     output. Any additional vapifile arguments passed on the command line are
     not processed as independent modules -- only the first class of the first
     file ends up being walked.

     To resolve types that come from other modules (e.g. a r_core.vapi that
     references symbols declared in r_asm.vapi), drop the extra vapis and
     their sibling .deps files under the directory passed to -V VAPIDIR and
     invoke valabind with just the single positional vapi you want emitted.
     Reproducing the pipeline by hand with every .vapi on the command line is
     a common mistake and will silently produce a nearly empty binding.

ENVIRONMENT
     XDG_DATA_DIRS
                 Standard freedesktop environment variable to point to the
                 share prefix directory where vala looks for vapi files.
