10 is a utility which generates Vala API (VAPI) files from GI files,
11 which may be generated using the vala-gen-introspect(1) utility.
15 After compilation, the following command generates a GI for pango:
16 .B vala-gen-introspect pango packages/pango
18 This can then be converted to a Vala API as follows:
19 .B vapigen --pkg cairo --vapidir . --library pango packages/pango/pango.gi
26 --vapidir=\fIDIRECTORY\fP
27 Look for package bindings in \fIDIRECTORY\fP.
30 Include binding for PACKAGE
33 Specify library name as \fINAME\fP
35 \-d, \-\-directory=\fIDIRECTORY\fP
36 Specify output directory as \fIDIRECTORY\fP
39 Display version number and exit.
