Including the Fix in Documentation

Introduction

The AXI4Lite Register Generator is a powerful tool for creating and managing AXI4Lite interfaces. However, when using the -h option to display the usage details, it shows the project's proper name instead of the module's name. In this article, we will discuss the issue and provide a fix to display the module's name in the usage details.

Current Usage Details

When you run the AXI4Lite Register Generator with the -h option, it displays the following usage details:

usage: AXI4Lite Register Generator [-h] -o OUTPUT json_input

As you can see, the usage details show the project's proper name, "AXI4Lite Register Generator". However, this can be confusing, especially when working with multiple modules.

Fixing the Usage Details

To fix the usage details, we need to modify the code to display the module's name instead of the project's proper name. We can achieve this by using the __name__ attribute in Python, which returns the name of the module.

Here's an example of how you can modify the code to display the module's name:

import argparse

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='AXI4Lite Register Generator')
    parser.add_argument('-h', '--help', action='help', default=argparse.SUPPRESS,
                        help='Show this help message and exit')
    parser.add_argument('-o', '--output', required=True, help='Output file')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    # Get the module's name
    module_name = __name__

    # Display the usage details with the module's name
    print(f"usage: {module_name} [-h] -o OUTPUT json_input")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

In this modified code, we use the __name__ attribute to get the name of the module. We then display the usage details with the module's name using an f-string.

Including the Fix in Documentation

To include the fix in the documentation, we need to update the documentation to reflect the changes. Here's an example of how you can update the documentation:

## AXI4Lite Register Generator

The AXI4Lite Register Generator is a powerful tool for creating and managing AXI4Lite interfaces.

### Usage

To use the AXI4Lite Register Generator, run the following command:

```bash
python axi4lite_register_generator.py -h

This will display the usage details with the module's name:

usage: axi4lite_register_generator [-h] -o OUTPUT json_input

Options

-h, --help: Show this help message and exit
-o, --output: Output file


In this updated documentation, we include the fix by displaying the usage details with the module's name.

**Conclusion**
----------

In this article, we discussed the issue of displaying the project's proper name instead of the module's name in the usage details of the AXI4Lite Register Generator. We provided a fix by using the `__name__` attribute in Python to get the name of the module and display it in the usage details. We also included the fix in the documentation to reflect the changes.<br/>
