.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
.\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be
.\"	enclosed in one large box.
.\"
.\" .BE
.\"	End of box enclosure.
.\"
.\" .CS
.\"	Begin code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .CE
.\"	End code excerpt.
.\"
.\" .VS ?version? ?br?
.\"	Begin vertical sidebar, for use in marking newly-changed parts
.\"	of man pages.  The first argument is ignored and used for recording
.\"	the version when the .VS was added, so that the sidebars can be
.\"	found and removed when they reach a certain age.  If another argument
.\"	is present, then a line break is forced before starting the sidebar.
.\"
.\" .VE
.\"	End of vertical sidebar.
.\"
.\" .DS
.\"	Begin an indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .DE
.\"	End of indented unfilled display.
.\"
.\" .SO ?manpage?
.\"	Start of list of standard options for a Tk widget. The manpage
.\"	argument defines where to look up the standard options; if
.\"	omitted, defaults to "options". The options follow on successive
.\"	lines, in three columns separated by tabs.
.\"
.\" .SE
.\"	End of list of standard options for a Tk widget.
.\"
.\" .OP cmdName dbName dbClass
.\"	Start of description of a specific option.  cmdName gives the
.\"	option's name as specified in the class command, dbName gives
.\"	the option's name in the option database, and dbClass gives
.\"	the option's class in the option database.
.\"
.\" .UL arg1 arg2
.\"	Print arg1 underlined, then print arg2 normally.
.\"
.\" .QW arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally (for trailing punctuation).
.\"
.\" .PQ arg1 ?arg2?
.\"	Print an open parenthesis, arg1 in quotes, then arg2 normally
.\"	(for trailing punctuation) and then a closing parenthesis.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fByaml\fR package provides a simple Tcl-only library for parsing the
YAML \fIhttp://www\&.yaml\&.org/\fR data exchange format as specified in
\fIhttp://www\&.yaml\&.org/spec/1\&.1/\fR\&.
.PP
The \fByaml\fR package returns
data as a Tcl \fBdict\fR\&.  Either the \fBdict\fR package or Tcl 8\&.5 is
required for use\&.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP
\fB::yaml::yaml2dict\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fItxt\fR
.TP
\fB::yaml::yaml2huddle\fR ?\fIoptions\fR? \fItxt\fR

.RS
.TP
\fB\fB-file\fR\fR
\fItxt\fR is a filename of YAML-stream\&.

\fB\fB-types\fR \fIlist\fR\fR
The \fIlist\fR is a type list for the yaml-scalar types\&.(e\&.g\&. !!str !!timestamp !!integer !!true \&.\&.\&.)
.CS

 -types {timestamp integer null true false}
.CE
.IP
In this case, if a string matched "timestamp", converted to the TCL internal timestamp\&.(e\&.g\&. "2001-12-15T02:59:43\&.1Z" => 1008385183)
.TP
\fB\fB-m:true\fR \fIparam\fR\fR
The \fIparam\fR is two elements of list for the value of true, and considered strings\&.
.CS

 -m:true {1 {true on + yes y}}
.CE
.IP
In this case, the string "yes" found in YAML Stream, automatically converted 1\&.
.TP
\fB\fB-m:false\fR \fIparam\fR\fR
The \fIparam\fR is two elements of list for the value of false, and considered strings\&.
.CS

 -m:false {0 {false off - no n}}
.CE
.TP
\fB\fB-m:null\fR \fIparam\fR\fR
The \fIparam\fR is two elements of list for the value of null, and considered strings\&.
.CS

 -m:null {"" {null nil "" ~}}
.CE
.TP
\fB\fB-validate\fR\fR
Experiment,old: Output stream contains YAML's-tag, each node\&.

.TP
\fB::yaml::setOption\fR ?\fIoptions\fR?
Change implicit options for the library\&.
Now, the params are the same as \fB::yaml::yaml2dict\fR\&.
Arguments of\fB::yaml::yaml2dict\fR is more priority than this setting\&.

Convert a dict/list/huddle object into YAML stream\&.

.SH LIMITATIONS
.PP
tag parser not implemented\&. currentry, tags are merely ignored\&.
.PP
Only Anchor => Aliases ordering\&. back alias-referring is not supported\&.
.PP
Too many braces, or too few braces\&.
.PP
Not enough character set of line feeds\&. Please use only "\\n" as line breaks\&.
.SH "BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK"
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain
bugs and other problems\&.
Please report such in the category \fIyaml\fR of the
\fITcllib Trackers\fR [http://core\&.tcl\&.tk/tcllib/reportlist]\&.
Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either
package and/or documentation\&.
.PP
When proposing code changes, please provide \fIunified diffs\fR,
i\&.e the output of \fBdiff -u\fR\&.
.PP
Note further that \fIattachments\fR are strongly preferred over
inlined patches\&. Attachments can be made by going to the \fBEdit\fR
form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the
left-most button in the secondary navigation bar\&.
