This folder contains the input file (``tox.in.h``) that has to be used to generate the ``tox.h`` api with: https://github.com/TokTok/apidsl
# Minimal requirements
There are some minimal requirements to contribute to ``tox.h``:
* unix environment
* ``astyle`` ``>=2.03``
* [``apidsl``](https://github.com/TokTok/apidsl) (you can use provided service with curl instead)
## Quick way
If you want to do it quickly and you don't have time for anything other than copypasting commands, you should have ``curl`` installed.
1. Make sure that you have ``curl`` and ``>=astyle-2.03`` installed
2. Modify [``tox.in.h``](/other/apidsl/tox.in.h)
3. Run command below ↓
Command to run from ``toxcore`` directory (quick way, involves using curl):
```bash
# For tox.h:
curl -X POST --data-binary @- https://apidsl.herokuapp.com/apidsl \
< other/apidsl/tox.in.h \
| astyle --options=other/astyle/astylerc \
> toxcore/tox.h
# For toxav.h:
curl -X POST --data-binary @- https://apidsl.herokuapp.com/apidsl \
< other/apidsl/toxav.in.h \
| astyle --options=other/astyle/astylerc \
> toxav/toxav.h
```
You may want to make sure with ``git diff`` that changes made in ``tox.h`` reflect changes in ``tox.in.h``.
And you're done.
## Manually
If you prefer to have more control over what is happening, there are steps below:
1. Install [``apidsl``](https://github.com/TokTok/apidsl)
2. Install ``astyle``, version 2.03 or later.
3. Modify [``tox.in.h``](/other/apidsl/tox.in.h)
4. Use ``apidsl`` ``??``
5. Parse generated ``tox.h`` with astyle, minimal command for it would be:
```bash
astyle --options=other/astyle/astylerc toxcore/tox.h
```
**Always pass output from ``apidsl`` through astyle.**
