vapigen SOURCE PKGBASE [OPTION]... [FILE]...

vapigen is a utility which generates Vala API (VAPI) files from GI files, which may be generated using the vala-gen-introspect(1) utility.

After compilation, the following command generates a GI for pango:

vala-gen-introspect pango packages/pango

This can then be converted to a Vala API as follows:

vapigen --pkg cairo --vapidir . --library pango packages/pango/pango.gi
