The `ifgen` Interface Generation tool parses interface definition (`.api`) files, and generates IPC code (as needed).

`ifgen` is usually run automatically by the mk Tools, but can be used on its own to generate IPC code to be compiled into a legacy program that is built using its own build system.

`ifgen` usage details are displayed using the ` -h` or ` --help` options.
