cet-is » art

I received feedback of a user scared by the help page.

It is custom to have an "EXAMPLES" section at the end. Something like:

  cetskelmod  producer myreco::MyProducer

  creates a skeleton in MyProducer_module.cc with the art producer myreco::MyProducer in it, in the current directory and using the default options.

  cetskelmod -e beginJob -e endJob --dir myservice service myserv::MyService

  creates a skeleton in myservice/MyService_service.cc with the class myserv::MyService in it. This class already contains placeholders for the standard beginJob() and endJob() methods (see --entry option above).

Also, the --output-dir option should specify that the destination directory is required to already exist.

(incidentally, I get quite a number of confusing warnings when using it in OSX (perl 5.18.2))
