Nasm entry and exit code of routines

Question

Is there any way to generate the following header and footer for routines in nasm without the need to explicitly code them every time I define a new routine?

Header:

  push  ebp
  mov   ebp, esp    ; Entry code - set up ebp and esp

body of the routine

Footer:

  mov   esp, ebp    ; Function exit code
  pop   ebp
  ret

I'm looking for something like:

some command that generates entry code
body of the routine
some command that generates exit code

You could define a multi-line macro...

%macro  prologue 1 

        push    ebp 
        mov     ebp,esp 
        sub     esp,%1 

%endmacro

Source.

You could define one for function entry and exit.

%macro  prologue 1 

        push    ebp 
        mov     ebp,esp 
        sub     esp,%1 

%endmacro

%macro  epilogue 1 

        mov     esp,ebp
        pop     ebp 
        ret

%endmacro

The argument supplied is how much room you'd like to reserve on the stack.
