13.17 guile-tools generate-autoload

Usage: generate-autoload [OPTIONS] FILE1 FILE2 ...

The autoload form is displayed to standard output:

(define-module (guile-user)
  #:autoload (ZAR FOO) (FOO-1 FOO-2 ...)
    :
    :
  #:autoload (ZAR BAR) (BAR-1 BAR-2 ...))

For each file, a symbol triggers an autoload if it is found in one
of these situations:
 - in the `#:export' clause of a `define-module' form
 - in a top-level `export' or `export-syntax' form
 - in a `define-public' form
 - in a `defmacro-public' form

The module name is inferred from the `define-module' form.  If either the
module name or the exports list cannot be determined, no autoload entry is
generated for that file.

Options:
--target MODULE-NAME  -- Use MODULE-NAME instead of `(guile-user)'.
                         Note that some shells may require you to
                         quote the argument to handle parentheses
                         and spaces.

--sexp                -- Instead of the `define-module' form,
                         display a form (RESULT ...), with
                         each RESULT being the form produced
                         by `module-name/exports' (see below).


Usage examples from Scheme code as a module:
(use-modules (scripts generate-autoload))
(generate-autoload "generate-autoload")
(generate-autoload "--target" "(my module)" "generate-autoload")
(apply generate-autoload "--target" "(my module)" '("foo" "bar" "baz"))

This module also provides the procedure:

 (module-name/exports REFERENCE) => (MODULE-NAME EXPORTS), or #f

REFERENCE is either a list of symbols to be taken as a module name,
like `(ice-9 q)', or a string that is taken to be a filename.  Both
MODULE-NAME and EXPORTS are lists of symbols.  If either the module
name cannot be determined, or the exports list is empty, return #f.
