FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

get_emblem()

This will return the emblem that should be put on auto generated files.

get_file_emblem()

This method returns the emblem in a general stile (C multi line comment).

get_cook_emblem()

This method returns the emblem in a cook style (C multi line comment).

get_script_emblem()

This method returns the emblem in a script style (shebang style).

get_xml_emblem()

This method returns the emblem in an XML style (small xml doc).

get_html_emblem()

This method returns the emblem in an HTML style (small html doc).

file_emblem($)

This will create a stub file with the emblem. This is meant for files in which the /* */ is the form for comments.

cook_emblem($)

Cook knows how to handle C++ style comments so we just call the method for that.

script_emblem($)

This method will create a stub file fit for scripts (where the hash (#) sign is the correct form for comments.

xml_emblem($)

This will create a stub XML file.

html_emblem($)

This will create a stub HTML file.

cook_emblem_print($)

This method gets a file handle and prints a cook emblem into it.

mkdir_emblem($)

This method will create an emblem file but will also create the directory in which it is supposed to reside (if it is not already created).

TEST($)

Test suite for this module.
