+ndn-cxx tools
+=============
+
+Unless disabled with `--without-tools` configuration option, files in `tools/` directory
+are automatically build and installed to `${PREFIX}/bin` folder.
+
+There are two ways to add new tools, depending on their complexity:
+
+1. Tools with a single translation unit
+
+ For simple tools that have a single translation unit, the `.cpp` file can be directly put
+ in `tools/` folder and it will be automatically compiled on the next run of `./waf`. Name
+ of the compiled binary will be determined by the base name of the `.cpp` file. For example,
+ `tools/foo.cpp` will be compiled into binary `foo` in `<build>/bin/` folder:
+
+ echo "int main() { return 0; }" > tools/foo.cpp
+ ./waf
+ # ... Compiling tools/foo.cpp
+ # ... Linking build/bin/foo
+
+ sudo ./waf install
+ # ... install /usr/local/bin/foo (from build/bin/foo)
+
+ # To run the tool
+ /usr/local/bin/foo
+
+2. Tools with multiple translation units
+
+ For more complex tools that contain multiple translation units, one can use
+ the following directory structure:
+
+ - Create a directory under `tools/` folder (e.g., `tools/bar`).
+ The name of this directory will determine the name of the compiled binary
+ (`<build>/bin/bar`)
+
+ - Place any number of translation units (e.g., `tools/bar/a.cpp`, `tools/bar/b.cpp`,
+ ...) in this directory. All `.cpp` files in this directory will be compiled and linked
+ together to produce the binary of the tool. One of the .cpp files should contain
+ the `main()` function.
+
+ For example:
+
+ mkdir tools/bar
+ echo "int bar(); int main() { return bar(); }" > tools/bar/a.cpp
+ echo "int bar() { return 10; } " > tools/bar/b.cpp
+ ./waf
+ # ... Compiling tools/bar/a.cpp
+ # ... Compiling tools/bar/b.cpp
+ # ... Linking build/bin/bar
+
+ sudo ./waf install
+ # ... install /usr/local/bin/bar (from build/bin/bar)
+
+ # To run the tool
+ /usr/local/bin/bar
