# Development Tools

This directory contains repository-maintenance and source-generation programs. Tools are kept outside `src` because they help build or maintain Nitload but are not shipped as part of the runtime libraries.

## Directory map

| Directory | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `Nitload.GenerateGL` | Reads the Khronos `gl.xml` registry, projects the OpenGL 4.6 Core API, analyzes function families, and generates the managed OpenGL bindings used by `Nitload.Graphics`. |

`Nitload.GenerateGL` has its own `README.md` with its pipeline, naming rules, and interactive commands. The common direct-generation command is:

```powershell
dotnet run --project tools/Nitload.GenerateGL/Nitload.GenerateGL.csproj -- generate all src/Nitload.Graphics/OpenGL/Generated
```

Generated files begin with `// <auto-generated>` and should not be edited manually. Change the registry projection, analysis, naming, or generation code here and regenerate the destination instead.
