The mfmodnew is invoked as:
mfmodnew [options] modname [dir]
where modname is the name of the new module and dir is the directory where to store the module infrastructure files. Normally you would omit dir altogether: in this case the utility will use mfmod_modname as the directory name.
Options are:
Search for template files in dir, instead of the default location.
Supply the author’s email. The email is passed as argument to
the AC_INIT macro in configure.ac. By default it
is constructed as ‘username@hostname’. If it is
incorrect, you can either edit configure.ac afterwards, or
just supply the correct one using this option.
