Description

As a binding library third party organization, I want the sharpie generated file can be split as it headers' file/folder structure, so that I can easily to maintain if any update from the library.

I try to find the source code of sharpie , but failed, could you share if sharpie already open source, please? thanks.

Sharpie is not open source unfortunately.

We're working on a different way of binding native APIs, so this will hopefully soon be a problem of the past.

In the meantime, the simplest is probably to create a script/small tool that parses ApiDefinition.cs and creates however many files you want out of it.
