For details on the srcml command-line program, please refer to the man page (man srcml). Here's some examples of how to use it:

# Convert from a source file to srcML
srcml main.cpp -o main.cpp.xml

# Convert from srcML back to source code
srcml main.cpp.xml -o main.cpp

# Convert a code fragment to srcML
srcml --text="int a = b;" -l C++ -o fragment.cpp.xml

# Convert entire project to srcML
srcml --verbose project -o project.xml

If you installed the libsrcml development package, you have the ability to write applications that directly use libsrcml. This contains the following:

• The include file srcml.h
• The static library libsrcml.a
• CMake configuration files

In addition, the libsrcml examples are installed in /usr/local/share/srcml
