# codecgen tool
|
||
|
|
||
|
Generate is given a list of *.go files to parse, and an output file (fout),
|
||
|
codecgen will create an output file __file.go__ which
|
||
|
contains `codec.Selfer` implementations for the named types found
|
||
|
in the files parsed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Using codecgen is very straightforward.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
`go get -u github.com/ugorji/go/codec/codecgen`
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Run the tool on your files**
|
||
|
|
||
|
The command line format is:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`codecgen [options] (-o outfile) (infile ...)`
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
% codecgen -?
|
||
|
Usage of codecgen:
|
||
|
