.SH INTRODUCTION
.sp
Skeletons is a general purpose template system. It is designed to support any
type of templates, e.g. C++, python, etc., via template package where you keep
your templates. It supports template and example tags within your template, as
well as coding within your template via python language.
.SH CMS COMMANDS
.sp
The following CMS commands is available for your needs:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBmkdatapkg\fP generates code based on DataPkg template
.IP \(bu 2
\fBmkedanlzr\fP generates code based on EDAnalyzer template
.IP \(bu 2
\fBmkedfltr\fP generates code based on EDFilter template

.sp
The \fBmkrecord\fP and \fBmkskel\fP scripts will run anywhere on your system, while
others requires that you should be within $CMSSW_BASE/src area. All scripts
provides suitable help message and will guide you through the code generation
process.
.SH MKTMPL COMMAND
.sp
There is a general purpose \fBmktmpl\fP command which can be used to generate
your favorite template. It has the following options:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
Usage: mktmpl [options]

Options:
  \-h, \-\-help           show this help message and exit
  \-\-debug              debug output
  \-\-tmpl=TMPL          specify template, e.g. EDProducer
  \-\-name=PNAME         specify package name, e.g. MyProducer
  \-\-author=AUTHOR      specify author name
  \-\-ftype=FTYPE        specify file type to generate, e.g. \-\-generate=header,
                       default is all files
  \-\-keep\-etags=KETAGS  list examples tags which should be kept in generate
                       code, e.g. \-\-keep\-etags=\(aq@example_trac,@example_hist\(aq
  \-\-tdir=TDIR          specify template directory,
  \-\-tags               list template tags
  \-\-etags              list template example tags
  \-\-templates          list supported templates

For example if you\(aqd like to generate CMS EDProducer package you can use mktmpl
with the following set of options
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mktmpl \-\-tmpl=EDProducer \-\-name=MyProducer
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
You can list available templates via the following command:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mktmpl \-\-templates
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Finally, to list available template and example tags you can use the following
commands:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mktmpl \-\-tmpl=EDProducer \-\-tags
mktmpl \-\-tmpl=EDProducer \-\-etags

.SH PACKAGE TEMPLATES
.sp
Skeletons template system uses user\-defined templates which may have arbitrary
file structure within template directory. The name of template directory defines a
template type available to the end\-users.
.sp
In order to extend Skeletons package with your own template package you need
to create it within scripts/mkTemplates area of Skeletons package. The new
template package may contain arbitrary set of files and any directory
structure. But you need to provide a \fIDriver.dir\fP file with such structure.
For instance, if you want to create template package \fIFoo\fP with
src/test/include directories, Foo.cc file in src area, Foo.h in include area
and top\-level makefile your \fIDriver.dir\fP file will have the following structure:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
Makefile
src/Foo.cc
test/
include/Foo.h
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
In order to write your template files, e.g. Foo.cc, Foo.h and Makefile, please
consult Skeletons rules section.
.SS Skeletons rules
.sp
There are two types of tags supported by Skeletons package, template and example
tags. Template tags can use any name which should be enclosed with double
underscores, e.g. \fI__test__\fP, \fI__prodname__\fP, \fI__abc123__\fP. The example tags
should start with \fI@example_\fP prefix followed by the name, e.g. \fI@example_track\fP.
.sp
In addition to template and example tags, user can write python snippets in their
template, which should be enclosed with two statements: \fI#python_begin\fP and
\fI#python_end\fP. PLEASE NOTE: you must use proper identination for python snippets
similar to normal python code requirements.
.sp
For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
#python_begin
    output = []
    for dtype in __datatypes__:
        ptr = "std::shared_ptr<%s> p%s;" % dtype
        output.append(ptr)
    print output
#python_end
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here we created an output vector which stores strings of shared pointers for
data types found in __datatypes__ template tag. Finally we printed out output
vector content. Any print statement will be captured and its context will be
added to your templates.  In this case if you supply __datatypes__ with array
of data types you want to create in python snippet, e.g. __datatypes__=[\(aqint\(aq,
\(aqdouble\(aq], the Skeletons engine will replace this python snippet with the
following:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
std::shared_ptr<int> pint;
std::shared_ptr<double> pdouble;
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Event though we do not impose any restriction on tag naming convention it is
wise to use them appropriately, e.g. for your C++ class template you are better
use \fI__class__\fP and similar tag name conventions.
.SS Driver.dir file
.sp
In some cases you\(aqd like to generate your template according to some directory
structure. To make this happens you need to place into your template package
the \fIDriver.dir\fP file whose context should outline a final directory structure
of generated package. For instance, let\(aqs say that your template package has
source and header c++ files as well as Makefile:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
MyPackage.cc, MyPackage.h, Makefile
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
and you\(aqd like to create the following directory layout:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
MyPackage
|\-\- Makefile
|   include/
|   |\-\- MyPackage.h
|   src/
|   |\-\- MyPackage.cc
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
To instruct Skeletons engine to generate such directory structure and put files
in place you create \fIDriver.dir\fP inside of your package template with the
following context:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
Makefile
incldue/MyPackage.h
src/MyPackage.cc
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The Skeletons engine will use theis file, create include,
src directories and place generated files in appropriate locations.
.SH EXAMPLE
.sp
Let\(aqs create a new template package and call it MyPackage. This package will
have a header file in include directory and source file in src directory.
We also want to have top\-level Makefile. With this set of requirements we
need to create the following template directory
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mkdir <path>/scripts/mkTemplates/MyPackage
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here the \fI<path>\fP refers to location of Skeleton scripts area. Now we need to
create Driver.dir file which will instruct Skeleton engine about our intention.
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
cd <path>/scripts/mkTemplates/MyPackage
cat > Driver.dir << EOF
Makefile
src/MyPackage.cc
include/MyPackage.h
test
EOF
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here we created a Driver.dir file with appropriate content. Now let\(aqs move on
and create our template files. Our first file is MyPackage.h:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
#ifndef __class___ESPRODUCER_h
#define __class___ESPRODUCER_h
//
// class declaration
//
class __class__ : public edm::ESProducer {
   public:
      __class__(const edm::ParameterSet&);
      ~__class__();

#python_begin
    datatypes = []
    for dtype in __datatypes__:
        datatypes.append("std::shared_ptr<%s>" % dtype)
    print "      typedef edm::ESProducts<%s> ReturnType;" % \(aq,\(aq.join(datatypes)
#python_end

      ReturnType produce(const __record__&);
   private:
      // \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-member data \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
};
#endif // end of __class___ESPRODUCER_h define
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
As you may noticed we used Skeleton placeholders tags with double underscores.
(You can use any name surrounded by double underscores and will need to feed
their content via mk\-script). Here we use \fI__class__\fP to refer the class name
and so on.
.sp
Here is content for our MyPackage.cc file:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
// \-*\- C++ \-*\-
//
// Package        :  __name__

//
// constructors and destructor
//
__class__::__class__(const edm::ParameterSet& iConfig)
{
   setWhatProduced(this);
}

__class__::~__class__()
{
   // do anything here that needs to be done at desctruction time
}


//

// \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- method called to produce the data  \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
__class__::ReturnType
__class__::produce(const __record__& iRecord)
{
   using namespace edm::es;
#python_begin
    out1 = []
    out2 = []
    for dtype in __datatypes__:
        out1.append("   std::shared_ptr<%s> p%s;\en" % (dtype, dtype))
        out2.append("p%s" % dtype)
    output  = \(aq\en\(aq.join(out1)
    output += "   return products(%s);\en" % \(aq,\(aq.join(out2)
    print output
#python_end
}

//define this as a plug\-in
DEFINE_FWK_EVENTSETUP_MODULE(__class__);

.sp
The content of Makefile is not relevant here and can be anything you like.
.sp
Finally, we create mkmypkg shell script in Skeletons/bin area with the
following context:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
#!/bin/sh
# find out where Skeleton is installed on a system
sroot=\(gapython \-c "import Skeletons; print \(aq/\(aq.join(Skeletons.__file__.split(\(aq/\(aq)[:\-1])"\(ga
# run actual script
export SKL_PRGM=mkmypkg
python $sroot/main.py \-\-type=MyPackage ${1+"$@"}
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
With all of this in place we are ready to use our template as following:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
mkmypkg \-\-name=TestPackage "__record__=MyRecord" "__datatypes__=[\(aqint\(aq,
\(aqdouble\(aq]"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
It will generate the following structure of new package:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
TestPackage/
|  include/
|  |\-\- TestPackage.h
|  src/
|  |\-\- TestPackage.cc
|  test/
|  Makefile
