  licenseheaders.py -t .copyright.tmpl -cy
  licenseheaders.py -t .copyright.tmpl -cy -f some_file.cppIflicenseheadersis installed as a package (from pypi for instance), one can interact with it as a command line tool:python -m licenseheaders -t lgpl3 -o "Eager Hacker"or directly:licenseheaders -t lgpl3 -o "Eager Hacker"InstallationNOTE: this requires Python 3.5 or higher!pip install licenseheadersTemplate names and filesThis library comes with a number of predefined templates. If a template name is specified
which when matched against all predefined template names matches exactly one as a substring,
then that template is used. Otherwise the name is expected to be the path of file.If a template does not contain any variables of the form${varname}it is used as is.
Otherwise the program will try to replace the variable from one of the following
sources:an environment variable with the same name but the prefixLICENSE_HEADERS_addedthe command line option that can be used to set the variable (see usage)Supported file types and how they are processedNOTE:You can provide additional file extensions with--additional-extensionscli argument.
Note that file extensions which contain multiple dots, e.g. ".py.j2", are not yet supported,
use ".j2" at the moment instead.Languages with C style comments:c
