NAME

mcbain - Command line utility for reading McBain-based API documentation

VERSION

version 0.1

SYNOPSIS

        # in the command line
        $ mcbain help
        $ mcbain describe <TOPIC_CLASS>

DESCRIPTION

This command line utility provides a simple interface for reading documentation of APIs created with API::McBain.

Currently, the script handles one command, describe, for reading McBain topic documentation. For example, echoing mcbain describe MyAPI::Topic will attempt to parse the MyAPI::Topic class (if exists), and will result in a complete topic description to be printed. This description will define all methods provided by the topic, with their parameter specification, descriptions, etc.

More commands to be added in the future.
