.TH CLICK-MKMINDRIVER 1 "28/Apr/2001" "Version \*V"
.SH NAME
click-mkmindriver \- generates a build environment for a minimal Click driver
'
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B click-mkmindriver
.RI "-p " packagename
.RI \%[ options "] \e"
.br
.RI "\%        [" router\-files... ]
'
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B click-mkmindriver
tool generates a build environment for a minimal Click driver\*Ethat is, a
driver containing only the elements necessary to run the configurations in
the
.IR router\-files .
You must supply a name for the driver,
.IR packagename .
Running
.RI "`make MINDRIVER=" packagename "'"
will create either a user-level driver named
.RI "`" packagename "click',"
or a Linux kernel module named
.RI "`" packagename "click.o'."
Run
.B click-mkmindriver
from the respective Click build directory, or supply a relevant
.B \-\-directory
option.
.PP
Sometimes one element depends weakly on another, especially for parsing.
For instance, the
.M IPEncap n
element can take advantage of protocol names supplied by the
.M IPNameInfo n
class; if IPNameInfo is not available, IPEncap will still work, it just
won't be able to parse protocol names.
.B Click-mkmindriver
does not include weakly dependent elements automatically, so you must
supply them explicitly with
.B \-E
options if you want them.  Common examples include IPNameInfo and
IPFieldInfo.  If a configuration fails to parse, try including these
elements.
'
.SH "OPTIONS"
'
If any filename argument is a single dash "-",
.B click-mkmindriver
will use the standard input or output instead, as appropriate.

This directory must already contain a normal build environment for the
Click Linux module or user-level driver. (The driver required depends on
