[Python-modules-team] Bug#609920: python-ctypeslib: Improvement to xml2py(1)

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: python-ctypeslib
Version: 0.0.0+svn20100125-2
Severity: wishlist

The man page correctly labels -l a “key” option, but it could go
farther: without -l, function exports are not generated.

Hence, I suggest the following change: replace the following
paragraph:

       Key options are -c (include C preprocessor headers) to h2xml
       and -l library.so (automatically link to the C library using
       ctypes) to xml2py.

with:

       To obtain preprocessor symbols, you must use the -c flag to
       h2xml. To obtain function exports, you must pass the relevant
       libraries to xml2py with the -l flag.
