mif.pl

A Perl library that parses Frame Maker Interchange Format (MIF).

Audience

I assume the reader knows about the scope of packages and how to access variables/subroutines defined in packages. If not, refer to perl(1) or any book on Perl.

The reader should be familiar with MIF. If not, refer to FrameMaker/Builder documentation.

Unless stated otherwise, ALL Perl variables mentioned are within the scope of package mif.

Usage

If installed correctly, the following Perl statement can be used to access the mif library routines:

require "mif/mif.pl";

The following routines are defined:

Read Routines

main'MIFread_mif The heart of the mif.pl library. MIFread_mif breaks down the MIF into "token/data" components, and then calls registered token callback routines defined by the library user to process the data portion of the MIF.

Write Routines

main'MIFwrite_open
main'MIFwrite_close
main'MIFwrite_statment
main'MIFwrite_str_statment
main'MIFescape_string
