NAME
copyhead - insert copyright into source files

SYNOPSIS
copyhead [-m mail_adress] [-o organization] [-s org.ab.] [-v version]

DESCRIPTION
copyheadinserts a standard disclaimer into your C- or C++-files. It scans the current directory for files with the extensions .h .H .c .cc .C .cpp. These files are renamed to ".hc~filename~" . A new file with name filename is created and the disclaimer and the content of the file .hc~filename~ is appended to this new file. The temporary file is not deleted but overwritten by subsequent calls to copyhead.

The entries for the real name of the author are taken from the passwd's gecos field. The mailadress, date, time, hostname and domainname are determined by unix system calls. The mailadress can be determined by the environment variable MAIL_ADRESS alternativly. The name of the organization and its abbreviation is compiled in and defaults to "Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience" and "M.P.I.".
