qfcc: update man page. It's pretty useful, so I'll probably be setting

it up as part of the install for qfcc.

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBqfcc\fP compiles GameC source into a form that the QuakeForge server can
understand.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
\fBqfcc\fP takes the following arguments:
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-source DIR
look for progs.src in DIR instead of the current directory.
.TP
.B \-q
.B \-q, \-\-quiet
Inhibit some of qfcc's normal output.
.TP
.B \-\-quiet LEVEL
Set quiet level to LEVEL. 1 is equivalent to \-q, 2 is silence.
.TP
.B \-g, \-\-debug
Output symbol information for the QuakeForge server's built-in debugger.
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
Display more output than usual.
.TP
.B \-\-code OPTION,...
Set code generation options. See

.TP
.B \-V, \-\-version
Show the version of qfcc.
.TP
.B \-D, \-\-define SYMBOL[=VAL],...
Define symbols for the preprocessor, if it is in use.
.TP
.B \-I, \-\-include DIR,...
Add DIR to the list of directories for the preprocessor to search when looking
for include files.
.TP
.B \-U, \-\-undefine SYMBOL,...
Undefine preprocessor symbols, if the preprocessor is in use.
.SH "CODE GENERATION OPTIONS"
The following options are valid for \fBqfcc\fP's
.B \-\-code
argument:
Code generation options are processed in the order of their appearance on the
command line. Unsupported options are ignored. The following options are
supported by \fBqfcc\fP's \fB\-\-code\fP argument:
.TP
.B cow
Allow assignment to initialized globals. In QuakeC, a global that has been
initialized to a value is not a variable, but a named constant. However,
.B qcc
never really enforced this. The
.B cow
option allows
.B qfcc
to gracefully cope with QuakeC source that assigns values to
initialized globals in this manner. (also known as "copy on write" -- never mind
the bovine connotations)

.TP
.B debug
Generate debug code for QuakeForge engines. The QuakeForge engine has the
ability to load line number info and other debugging information for use in
diagnosing progs crashes. This option tells \fBqfcc\fP to generate this
information. It is written to a secondary file with the extension "sym" \(em
if your output file is "progs.dat", the symbol file will be "progs.sym".
.TP
.B v6only
Restrict the compiler to only version 6 progs (original Quake/QuakeWorld)

functions. Also disables some of the compiler's features (like integers and
string manipulation support).
.SH "WARNING OPTIONS"
The following options are valid for \fBqfcc\fP's
.B \-\-warn
argument:
Warning options are processed in the order of their appearance on the command
line. Unsupported options are ignored. The following options are supported by
\fBqfcc\fP's \fB\-\-warn\fP argument:
.TP
.B error
Promote warnings to errors. This works just like \fBgcc\fP's
.B -Werror
argument.
.B cow
Emit a warning when the source assigns a value to a named constant. See the
description of the \fBcow\fP code option above for a description of what this means.
.TP
.B undef-functions
.B undef-function
Emit a warning when a function is called, but has not yet been defined.
.TP
.B uninited-var
Emit a warning when a variable is read from that has not been initalized to a
value.
.TP
.B vararg-integer
Emit a warning when a function that takes a variable number of arguments is
passed a constant of an integer type.
.TP
.B error
Promote warnings to errors.
.PP
Any of the above can be prefixed with \fBno-\fP to negate its meaning. There are
also two special options:
.TP
.B all
Turns on all warning options except \fBerror\fP.
.TP
.B none
Turns off all warning options except \fBerror\fP.
.SH "FAQ"
.TP
.B qfcc is singing a bad 80s rap song to me. What's going on?
"ice ice baby" is QuakeForge-speak for "Internal Compiler Error". It usually
means there's a bug in qfcc, so please report it to the team.
.TP
.B qfcc is mooing at me. What's wrong with you people?
The compiler doesn't like being treated like a slab of beef. Seriously, the code
you are trying to compile is using constants as if they weren't. Normally, qfcc
would just stop and tell the code to sit in the corner for a while, but you told
it not to do that by passing the
.B cow
option to \fB--code\fP, so it has its revenge by mooing out a warning. Or
something like that.
it not to do that by passing the \fBcow\fP option to \fB\-\-code\fP, so it has
its revenge by mooing out a warning. Or something like that. To disable the
warning, pass \fBno-cow\fP to \fB\-\-warn\fP.
