NAME

       BSE - Better Sound Engine File Format

SYNOPSIS

       filename.bse

DESCRIPTION

       The bse file format is used by the BSE library and dependent programs to save BSE projects, songs, instruments and sample collections.  The
       BSE scheme shell bsescm(1) is able to play back bse files directly.

FORMAT

       BSE files start out with a special magic string "; BseProject0 and then contain	nested	expressions  in  scheme  syntax  using	the  ASCII
       charset.   Binary  data may be appended to a .bse file if it is seperated from the preceeding ASCII test by one or more literal NUL charac-
       ters (' ').  This mechanism is used to store arbitrary binary data like .WAV or Ogg/Vorbis files in BSE projects, while keeping the actuall
       content user editable (text editors that preserve binary sections have to be used, such as vi(1) or emacs(1)).

COMPATIBILITY

       The exact format and sets of objects and properties used in a bse file depend highly on the library version that was used to save the file.
       Compatibility functions are supplied by the library itself, so old bse files can be converted when the file  is	loaded.   To  enable  this
       mechanism, all bse files contain a "bse-version" directive which indicates the bse file format version of the supplied content.

NAME

       SFIDL - SFI IDL Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       sfidl [OPTIONS] input.idl

DESCRIPTION

       sfidl generates glue code for BSE objects and plugins from interface definition language files.

OPTIONS

       --help [binding]
	      Print general usage information. Or, if binding was specified, print usage information for this language binding.

       --version
	      Print program version.

       -I DIRECTORY
	      Add DIRECTORY to include path.

       --print-include-path
	      Print include path.

       --nostdinc
	      Prevents standard include path from being used.

   Language bindings:
       --client-c
	      Generate C client language binding.

       --client-c
	      Generate C core language binding.

       --host-c
	      Generate C host language binding.

       --client-cxx
	      Generate C++ client language binding.

       --core-cxx
	      Generate C++ core language binding.

       --plugin
	      Generate C++ plugin language binding.

       --list-types
	      Print all types defined in the idlfile. This option is used only for BSE internally to ease transition from C to C++ types.

   Language binding options:
       --header
	      Generate header file, this is the default.

       --source
	      Generate source file.

       --prefix prefix
	      C host/client language binding option, sets the prefix for C functions. The prefix ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between
	      different programs/libraries which are using a binding, so it  is  important  to	set  it  to  something	unique	to  your  applica-
	      tion/library.

       --init name
	      Set the name of the init function for C host/core bindings.

       --namespace namespace
	      C++ client language binding, sets the namespace to use for the code. The namespace ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between
	      different programs/libraries which are using a binding, so it  is  important  to	set  it  to  something	unique	to  your  applica-
	      tion/library.

       --lower
	      Select lower case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (create_midi_synth), this is the default.

       --mixed
	      Select mixed case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (createMidiSynth).
