> The expected behaviour should be to create both if both flags are given that's along the lines any other tool. While the current tool doesn't support that having an extra file is not a huge deal. Not creating anything at all when both flags are given would be a bigger issue but I don't know why those two flags would be mutually exclusive.

I agree that it shouldn't be mutually exclusive, I was trying to maintain compatiblity with the older script as much as possible.

Said that, I think we can change it to something like:

1. Create both files by default when neither of the flags are given
2. You can disable specific file by specifying its respective flag (`-H` to disable header file, and `-C` to disable source file)
3. Remove mutual exclusivity rule and simply dont create any file when both flags are given, not sure why anyone would want that tho

> Also thanks for rewriting this it's a huge help to get these tools moved out of C to Python.

Welcome! I was looking for something simpler to get started on with rtems and its eco system.
