# raylib parser
This parser scans [`raylib.h`](../src/raylib.h) to get information about `structs`, `enums` and `functions`.
All data is separated into parts, usually as strings. The following types are used for data:
- `struct FunctionInfo`
- `struct StructInfo`
- `struct EnumInfo`
Check `raylib_parser.c` for details about those structs.
## Command Line Arguments
The parser can take a few options...
- `--help` Displays help information about the parser
- `--json` Outputs the header information in JSON format
## Constraints
This parser is specifically designed to work with raylib.h, so, it has some constraints:
- Functions are expected as a single line with the following structure:
```
<retType> <name>(<paramType[0]> <paramName[0]>, <paramType[1]> <paramName[1]>); <desc>
```
Be careful with functions broken into several lines, it breaks the process!
- Structures are expected as several lines with the following form:
```
<desc>
typedef struct <name> {
<fieldType[0]> <fieldName[0]>; <fieldDesc[0]>
<fieldType[1]> <fieldName[1]>; <fieldDesc[1]>
<fieldType[2]> <fieldName[2]>; <fieldDesc[2]>
} <name>;
```
- Enums are expected as several lines with the following form:
```
<desc>
typedef enum {
<valueName[0]> = <valueInteger[0]>, <valueDesc[0]>
<valueName[1]>,
<valueName[2]>, <valueDesc[2]>
<valueName[3]> <valueDesc[3]>
} <name>;
```
_NOTE: For enums, multiple options are supported:_
- If value is not provided, (<valueInteger[i -1]> + 1) is assigned
- Value description can be provided or not
## Additional notes
This parser _could_ work with other C header files if mentioned constraints are followed.
This parser **does not require `<string.h>` library**, all data is parsed directly from char buffers.
