Scripts in bin and their purpose

Programs run via autogen.sh (or the equivalent in CMake) are indicated.

Program	Purpose
buildhdf5	Convenience script to build HDF5 using the Autotools
checkapi	Checks if public API calls are used in internal functions
chkcopyright	Checks if files have appropriate copyright statements
cmakehdf5	Convenience script to build HDF5 using CMake
debug-ohdr	Examines debug output from H5O_open/close to look for open objects
format_source	Runs clang-format over the source files, applying our rules
genparser	Creates the flex/bison-based parser files in the high-level library
h5cc.in	Input file from which h5cc is created
h5redeploy.in	Input file from which h5redeploy is created
h5vers	Updates the library version number
make_err	Generates the H5E header files (called in autogen.sh)
make_vers	Generates H5version.h (called in autogen.sh)
make_overflow	Generates H5overflow.h (called in autogen.sh)
output_filter	Used in the tools test code to strip extraneous output before we diff files
restore.sh	Removes files generated by autogen.sh
runbkprog	Used by CMake to run test programs in the background
switch_maint_mode	Switches maintainer mode on/off in configure.ac
trace	Updates H5ARG_TRACE macros in H5ES_insert() calls (run by autogen.sh)
warnhist	Generates compiler warning statistics for gcc/clang when fed output of make

TODO

• chkcopyright is currently semi-broken as it doesn't handle the full variety of copyright headers we need. We're leaving it in place, though, in the hopes that someone will update it in the future.
• Extending warnhist to better understand the output of additional compilers/languages would be nice.
