.Sh "GENERATING PROJECTS"
.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When invoked using
.Nm
.Cm gen ,
you either create a new project or modify the frameworks of an existing project.
.Ss Create options
When creating a new project, if no options are specified,
.Nm
will use the
.Ar Application
template, which by default does not use a
.Ar cib
to create its interface. If you wish to use a different template, the following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It Fl t, \-template Ar template
Specifies the template name to use when generating the project. This determines the type
of project to generate.
.It Fl \-list-templates
Displays the templates names available for use with the
.Sy -t/--template
option.
.El
.Ss Frameworks options
There are a number of options available for specifying how to create or update
the Frameworks directory in your project. The available options are:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It Fl f, \-frameworks
This will copy or symlink
.Sy only
the Frameworks directory instead of generating an entire project. This is
especially useful if you want to update the Frameworks for an existing project.
.It Fl F, \-framework Ar name
The
.Sy -f/--frameworks
option always copies/symlinks the Objective-J, Foundation, and AppKit frameworks. You may
include additional frameworks with this option. You may use this option multiple times
to include multiple frameworks.
.It Fl \-list-frameworks
Displays a list of frameworks that are available for use with the
.Sy -F/--framework
option.
.It Fl \-symlink
By default frameworks are copied to the project directory. Use this option to symlink
to the source frameworks instead of copying.
.It Fl \-build
By default frameworks are copied/symlinked from the installed version created with
.Sy jake install.
Use this option to copy/symlink the version created in
.Ar $CAPP_BUILD
with
.Sy jake debug
or
.Sy jake release.
.It Fl l
This is a handy shortcut for
.Sy --symlink --build.
.El
.Ss Postinstall scripts
After copying the chosen template, replacing placeholders, and installing the frameworks,
if
.Nm
finds a file named "postinstall", it will be executed using
.Sy sh.
The script receives a single parameter which is the directory of the generated project.
Scripts should reference files in the project relative to that directory.
.Pp
After executing the
.Sy postinstall
script,
.Nm
deletes it from the generated project.
.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.Sh CONFIGURING
.\"-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When invoked using
.Nm
.Cm config ,
you can set or inspect the values used to replace placeholder text in the templates. The syntax
for

is as follows:
.Bl -tag -width 4n
.It Ar key value
