Snippet-extractor looks for snippets in files and
places those snippets in their own files.
A snippet is defined as consecutive lines in a
file delimited by "@snippet-start <filename>" and
"@snippet-end", the extracted snippet is placed in
the provided filename. If the desired filename
contains spaces, put the filename in quotes.
Everything on the line with the start and end
markers is discarded. Snippet-extractor should
be agnostic to the syntax of the file you are
extracting from.
Here is an example:
/* @snippet-start snippet1.c */
for(i = 0; i < 100; i++){
printf("%d\n",i);
}
/* @snippet-end */
The above snippet would be extracted and placed in
snippet1.c
Snippet-extractor is intended for use in
documentation. For example, the snippets could
be extracted from working code and then included
in a text about the code.
