2.2 KwikNet Configuration Builder
The KwikNet Configuration Builder is a software generation tool which can be used to
help create your KwikNet Library. You can think of the Builder as a very specialized
editor. The Builder consists of two components: the Configuration Manager and the
Configuration Generator. The Configuration Manager is an interactive utility which
allows you to create and edit your Network Parameter File.
For convenience, the Configuration Manager has the ability to directly invoke its own
copy of the Configuration Generator. The Configuration Generator reads your Network
Parameter File and merges the information from it with a template file to produce an
output text file. This process has been described in Chapter 2.1.
The Configuration Generator is also available as a separate, stand alone utility program
that can be used within your make files to create, from your Network Parameter File and
the KwikNet Template Files, any of the output text files which you usually use the
Configuration Builder to generate.
