-Introduction:
-=============
-This directory contains the source code of the pidl (Perl IDL) 
-compiler for Samba 4. 
-
-The main sources for pidl are available by Subversion on
-svn+ssh://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/pidl
-
-Pidl works by building a parse tree from a .pidl file (a simple 
-dump of it's internal parse tree) or a .idl file 
-(a file format mostly like the IDL file format midl uses). 
-The IDL file parser is in idl.yp (a yacc file converted to 
-perl code by yapp)
-
-After a parse tree is present, pidl will call one of it's backends 
-(which one depends on the options given on the command-line). Here is 
-a list of current backends:
-
-Standalone installation:
-========================
-Run Makefile.PL to generate the Makefile. 
-
-Then run "make install" (as root) to install.
-
-Documentation:
-==============
-Run 'make doc' to generate the manpage and a HTML version of the manpage.
-This requires the xsltproc utility to be installed.
-
-Internals overview:
-===================
-
--- Generic --
-Parse::Pidl::Dump - Converts the parse tree back to an IDL file
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::Header - Generates header file with data structures defined in IDL file
-Parse::Pidl::NDR - Generates intermediate datastructures for use by NDR parses/generators
-Parse::Pidl::ODL - Generates IDL structures from ODL structures for use in the NDR parser generator
-Parse::Pidl::Test - Utility functions for use in pidl's testsuite
-
--- Samba NDR --
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::NDR::Client - Generates client call functions in C using the NDR parser
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::SWIG - Generates SWIG interface files (.i)
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::NDR::Header - Generates a header file with NDR-parser specific data
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::NDR::Parser - Generates pull/push functions for parsing NDR
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::NDR::Server - Generates server side implementation in C
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::TDR - Parser generator for the "Trivial Data Representation"
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::Template - Generates stubs in C for server implementation
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::EJS - Generates bindings for Embedded JavaScript (EJS)
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::EJSHeader - Generates headers for the EJS bindings
-
--- Samba COM / DCOM --

-Parse::Pidl::Samba::COM::Stub - Generates stub call handler for DCOM (server-side)
-Parse::Pidl::Samba::COM::Header - Generates header file for COM interface(s)
-
--- Ethereal --
-Parse::Pidl::Ethereal::NDR - Generates a parser for the ethereal network sniffer
-Parse::Pidl::Ethereal::Conformance - Reads conformance files containing additional data for generating Ethereal parsers
-
--- Utility modules --
-Parse::Pidl::Util - Misc utility functions used by *.pm and pidl.pl
-Parse::Pidl::Typelist - Utility functions for keeping track of known types and their representation in C
-
-Tips for hacking on pidl:
- - Look at the pidl's parse tree by using the --keep option and looking 
-   at the generated .pidl file. 
- - The various backends have a lot in common, if you don't understand how one 
-   implements something, look at the others
- - See pidl(1) and the documentation on midl
- - See 'info bison' and yapp(1) for information on the file format of idl.yp
