Begin with a +% standard phrase. You may also list the exceptions and other data +% items defined in the module, insofar as they are important for the +% user. + +The \module{spam} module defines the following functions: + +% ---- 3.1. ---- +% For each function, use a ``funcdesc'' block. This has exactly two +% parameters (each parameters is contained in a set of curly braces): +% the first parameter is the function name (this automatically +% generates an index entry); the second parameter is the function's +% argument list. If there are no arguments, use an empty pair of +% curly braces. If there is more than one argument, separate the +% arguments with backslash-comma. Optional parts of the parameter +% list are contained in \optional{...} (this generates a set of square +% brackets around its parameter). Arguments are automatically set in +% italics in the parameter list. Each argument should be mentioned at +% least once in the description; each usage (even inside \code{...}) +% should be enclosed in \var{...}. + +\begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, mode\optional{, buffersize}}} +Open the file \var{filename} as a can of Spam. The optional +\var{mode} and \var{buffersize} arguments specify the read/write mode +(\code{'r'} (default) or \code{'w'}) and the buffer size (default: +system dependent). +\end{funcdesc} + +% ---- 3.2. ---- +% Data items are described using a ``datadesc'' block. This has only +% one parameter: the item's name. + +\begin{datadesc}{cansize} +The default can size, in ounces. Legal values are 7 and 12. The +default varies per supermarket. This variable should not be changed +once the \function{open()} function has been called. +\end{datadesc} + +% --- 3.3. --- +% Exceptions are described using a ``excdesc'' block. This has only +% one parameter: the exception name. Exceptions defined as classes in +% the source code should be documented using this environment, but +% constructor parameters must be omitted. + +\begin{excdesc}{error} +Exception raised when an operation fails for a Spam specific reason. +The exception argument is a string describing the reason of the +failure. +\end{excdesc} + +% ---- 3.4. ---- +% Other standard environments: +% +% classdesc - Python classes; same arguments are funcdesc +% methoddesc - methods, like funcdesc but has an optional parameter +% to give the type name: \begin{methoddesc}[mytype]{name}{args} +% By default, the type name will be the name of the +% last class defined using classdesc. The type name +% is required if the type is implemented in C (because +% there's no classdesc) or if the class isn't directly +% documented (if it's private). +% memberdesc - data members, like datadesc, but with an optional +% type name like methoddesc. + + +% ==== 4. ==== +% Now is probably a good time for a complete example. (Alternatively, +% an example giving the flavor of the module may be given before the +% detailed list of functions.) + +\subsection{Example \label{spam-example}} + +The following example demonstrates how to open a can of spam using the +\module{spam} module. + +\begin{verbatim} +>>> import spam +>>> can = spam.open('/etc/passwd') +>>> can.empty() +>>> can.close() +\end{verbatim} +% Note that there is no trailing ">>> " prompt shown. + +% ==== 5. ==== +% If your module defines new object types (for a built-in module) or +% classes (for a module written in Python), you should list the +% methods and instance variables (if any) of each type or class in a +% separate subsection. + +\subsection{Spam Objects} +\label{spam-objects} +% This label is generally useful for referencing this section, but is +% also used to give a filename when generating HTML. + +Spam objects, as returned by \function{open()} above, have the +following methods: + +\begin{methoddesc}[spam]{empty}{} +Empty the can into the trash. +\end{methoddesc} |
