name = "gen_bridge_metadata"
description = "Generates Objective-C bridge metadata (`.bridgesupport` XML, or a `.dylib` for inline-function support) from a framework or a list of C/Objective-C headers, for use by bridges such as PyObjC. With -o <file> or --format dylib it writes to disk; without -o, final-format metadata goes to stdout. The -c/--cflags and -C/--cflags-64 flags pass arbitrary flags through to the underlying C compiler, which the tool invokes to parse the headers — these are constrained to compilation but are still a wide surface. Reads only local headers/frameworks; no network. Frozen surface (man page dated 2010)."
