Help packages are structured hierarchically and +# (ideally) closely follow the actual package structure. Each package in +# the help database must appear as a subdirectory of this, the root help +# directory. Due to the way the datbase is indexed, package names must be +# unique within the database despite the fact that the logical structure is +# hierarchical. +# +# The declarations for the main branches of the help tree follow. The help +# tree will be searched by conducting a depth first search of the branches +# shown, in the order shown (since sorting is disabled). The root help +# directory itself is not searched when looking for a help module as this +# would negate the advantages of the depth first search. The purpose of the +# underscore prefixed packages is to make the real packages appear as modules +# in a non-root package. The package "_sys", for example, does nothing but +# define the package "sys", all to make "sys" appear as a help module in +# package "_sys". Making both packages and programs appear as modules gives +# maximum scope for resolving ambiguous help keyword templates. + +.nosort +_clpackage pkg = lib$clpackage.hd, hlp = clpackage$clpackage.men +_sys pkg = sys$_sys.hd, hlp = sys$sys.men +_math pkg = math$_math.hd, hlp = math$math.men +_doc pkg = doc$_doc.hd, hlp = doc$doc.men + + +# SETTING UP HELP DIRECTORIES +# +# The format of a help directory is logical directory definitions followed +# by decarations for the help modules within the package (clpackage, sys, +# etc.). The format of a module declaration is the module name followed by +# a list of filenames. Five types of help files may be associated with each +# package: +# +# men.men file (CL packages only) +# hlp user help text for module +# sys system (technical) help text for module +# src source file (only one source file permitted at present) +# pkg if the module is a subpackage, the name of the .hd file +# for the subpackage. +# +# The format of a file name is [ldir$]filename. Logical directories may be +# defined within the help directory file, but unlike CL environment declarations +# recursion is not permitted. The syntax is as follows: +# +# $ldir = "irafdir$subdir/[subdir/...]" +# or +# $ldir = "./subdir/[subdir/...]" +# +# where a leading "." refers to the directory in which the help directory file +# is resident, and where "irafdir" refers to an IRAF logical directory defined +# in the CL at LOGIN TIME, i.e., lib, pkg, sys, math, and so on. Note that the +# CL package directories are defined only when a package is loaded and hence +# may not be used in a help directory. If no ldir is given in a filename, the +# default directory is the directory in which the help directory file is found. +# +# References to subpackages may not be recursive. Recursion is however useful +# as an alternative to the "_package" technique for making all packages appear +# as modules too. A package may contain itself as a module provided the "pkg" +# file is ommitted. This enters the package into the database as a module, +# causing it to be found in ambiguous searches and making the associated help +# files accessible. -- cgit
