pragma2fd  (c) 2021  Lorence Lombardo.

"pragma2fd" converts C pragma files to the multi lingual FD format.

 Usage:

 pragma2fd <pragma-file> [clib-file]

A typical name convention usage example is follows:-

pragma2fd dbfsup_lib.h dbfsup_protos.h >dbfsup_lib.fd

The [clib-file] is usually found in the "clib" directory of the library's
developers section and usually has a name of "#?_protos.h". By providing
the [clib-file] parameter pragma2fd is able to provide the argument names.

In regards to pragma files having more than one pragma system the first
encountered system will be used. If you have a preference to a particular
pragma system which is not the first then simply edit the pragma file with
your favourite text editor, cut your prefered pragma system and paste it
on the top.

"pragma2fd" is also a useful tool for verifying the correctness of the
[clib-file] as you will be informed if there is a mismatch.

Use "dbfsup_protos_mis.h" instead of "dbfsup_protos.h" to see the
mismatch feature. Of coarse the result FD is still fully functional
and in this case it is the [clib-file] at fault. It is also possible
there are some [clib-file] arguments that pragma2fd cant deal with and
a mismatch will also be reported.

All tested pragma's so far have worked, so if you find one that does not
then feel free to let me know.

"pragma2sfd" is a bonus script example and contains more
information within.
