Templates

F2x uses templates to generate the code. There are a bunch of templates that come bundled with F2x:

bindc	@bindc/_glue.f90.t	Generate a ISO C compliant interface to a Fortran module using BIND(C).
cerr	@cerr/_cerr.c.t	Generates a thin C layer that is used as clean stack snapshot for longjmp error handling.
ctypes	@ctypes/_glue.py.t	Generates a Python module that interacts with a ISO C interface generated by ‘bindc’ template using ctypes including error handling using ‘cerr’ template.
ctypes_noerr	@ctypes_noerr/_glue.py.t	Generates a Python module that interacts with a ISO C interface generated by ‘bindc’ template using ctypes.
sphinx	.rst.t	Generates a Sphinx documentation for a module.

Choosing a Template on Command Line

When you use the F2x CLI to wrap your sources, you can select templates by specifying the -t switch. You have three possibilities of accessing template files:

• The name of a built-in template. These start with an ‘@’ character and are listed in the table above.

• The full (relative) path to a template file.

• A path relative to one of the template path directories. You can adjust the template path using the -T switch.
