   ------------- Chapter
   ************* Section (#.#)
   ============= Subsection (#.#.#)
   ############# Paragraph (no number)
 
This is a suggested outline for adding new module documentation to |ns3|.
See ``src/click/doc/click.rst`` for an example.
 
The introductory paragraph is for describing what this code is trying to
model.
 
For consistency (italicized formatting), please use |ns3| to refer to
ns-3 in the documentation (and likewise, |ns2| for ns-2).  These macros
are defined in the file ``replace.txt``.
 
Model Description
*****************
 
The source code for the new module lives in the directory ``{MODULE_DIR}``.
 
Add here a basic description of what is being modeled.
 
Design
======
 
Briefly describe the software design of the model and how it fits into
the existing ns-3 architecture.
 
Scope and Limitations
=====================
 
What can the model do?  What can it not do?  Please use this section to
describe the scope and limitations of the model.
 
References
==========
 
Add academic citations here, such as if you published a paper on this
model, or if readers should read a particular specification or other work.
 
Usage
*****
 
This section is principally concerned with the usage of your model, using
the public API.  Focus first on most common usage patterns, then go
into more advanced topics.
 
Building New Module
===================
 
Include this subsection only if there are special build instructions or
platform limitations.
 
Helpers
=======
 
What helper API will users typically use?  Describe it here.
 
Attributes
==========
 
What classes hold attributes, and what are the key ones worth mentioning?
 
Output
======
 
What kind of data does the model generate?  What are the key trace
sources?   What kind of logging output can be enabled?
 
Advanced Usage
==============
 
Go into further details (such as using the API outside of the helpers)
in additional sections, as needed.
 
Examples
========
 
What examples using this new code are available?  Describe them here.
 
Troubleshooting
===============
 
Add any tips for avoiding pitfalls, etc.
 
Validation
**********
 
Describe how the model has been tested/validated.  What tests run in the
test suite?  How much API and code is covered by the tests?  Again,
references to outside published work may help here.

def create_argument_parser():
    description = """Generate scaffolding for ns-3 modules
 
Generates the directory structure and skeleton files required for an ns-3
module.  All of the generated files are valid C/C++ and will compile successfully
out of the box.  ns3 configure must be run after creating new modules in order
to integrate them into the ns-3 build system.
 
The following directory structure is generated under the contrib directory:
<modname>
 |-- CMakeLists.txt
 |-- doc
     |-- <modname>.rst
 |-- examples
     |-- <modname>-example.cc
     |-- CMakeLists.txt
 |-- helper
     |-- <modname>-helper.cc
     |-- <modname>-helper.h
 |-- model
     |-- <modname>.cc
     |-- <modname>.h
 |-- test
     |-- <modname>-test-suite.cc
 
 
<modname> is the name of the module and is restricted to the following
character groups: letters, numbers, -, _
The script validates the module name and skips modules that have characters
outside of the above groups.  One exception to the naming rule is that src/
or contrib/ may be added to the front of the module name to indicate where the
module scaffold should be created.  If the module name starts with src/, then
the module is placed in the src directory.  If the module name starts with
contrib/, then the module is placed in the contrib directory.  If the module
name does not start with src/ or contrib/, then it defaults to contrib/.
See the examples section for use cases.
 
 
In some situations it can be useful to group multiple related modules under one
directory.  Use the --project option to specify a common parent directory where
the modules should be generated.  The value passed to --project is treated
as a relative path.  The path components have the same naming requirements as
the module name: letters, numbers, -, _
The project directory is placed under the contrib directory and any parts of the
path that do not exist will be created.  Creating projects in the src directory
is not supported.  Module names that start with src/ are not allowed when
--project is used.  Module names that start with contrib/ are treated the same
as module names that don't start with contrib/ and are generated under the
project directory.
