-FIPS tools explained
-====================
-
-api_list.pl
- a script to produce an API description, saying what parameters are
- for input, output or both.
-
- Most often, the direction of a parameter is determined automatically.
- However, quite a number of them are educated guesses. Either way,
- the information is stored in the file declarations.dat in this
- directory, and can be manually corrected; simply go through
- declarations.dat, look for any value with the key 'direction'
- where the value contains a question mark. Those should be changed
- to whatever is true, and the values should be one of the
- following:
-
- <- output
- -> input
- <-> both
-
-api_fns.pm
- a module that helps api_list.pl do its job.
-
-declarations.dat
- a file of information about public fips symbols. See api_list.pl
- above.
