+User guide
+==========
+
+c-picker uses ``libclang``'s Python interface for parsing source files.
+
+Command line options
+--------------------
+
+- ``-h, --help`` - Showing help message
+- ``--root ROOT`` - Root source directory
+- ``--config CONFIG`` - Configuration file (``.json|.yml``)
+- ``--output OUTPUT`` - Output file
+- ``--print-dependencies`` - Prints the dependencies
+- ``--version`` - Shows the program's version number and exit
+- ``--args ...`` - clang arguments
+
+
+Configuration file format
+-------------------------
+
+c-picker configuration can be described in ``JSON`` or ``YAML`` format using the same object structure.
+
+- ``elements`` - List of elements to pick from the original code
+
+ - ``name`` - Name of the element
+ - ``type`` - Type of the element: ``include``, ``function``, ``variable``
+ - ``args`` - Arguments for clang used during picking the element
+ - ``options`` - Currenly the only options is ``remove_static`` which removes
+ the ``static`` qualifier from the element's definition.
+
+- ``options`` - Global options for all elements
+- ``args`` - Global clang arguments for all elements
+
+YAML example
+------------
+
+YAML format is preferred because it can contain metadata like comments and licence information.
+
+.. code-block:: YAML
+
+ elements:
+ - file: bl1/bl1_fwu.c
+ type: variable
+ name: bl1_fwu_loaded_ids
+ options: [remove_static]
+ - file: bl1/bl1_fwu.c
+ type: function
+ name: bl1_fwu_add_loaded_id
+ options: [remove_static]
+ - file: bl1/bl1_fwu.c
+ type: function
+ name: bl1_fwu_remove_loaded_id
+ options: [remove_static]
+ args:
+ - -DFWU_MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_IMAGES=10
+ - -DINVALID_IMAGE_ID=0xffffffff
