NAME

       vapigen - generate a Vala API


SYNOPSIS

       vapigen SOURCE PKGBASE [OPTION]... [FILE]...


DESCRIPTION

       vapigen is a utility which generates Vala API (VAPI) files from GI
       files, which may be generated using the vala-gen-introspect(1) utility.


EXAMPLES

       After compilation, the following command generates a GI for pango:
              vala-gen-introspect pango packages/pango

       This can then be converted to a Vala API as follows:
              vapigen --pkg cairo --vapidir . --library pango
              packages/pango/pango.gi
