NAME
doxygen - documentation system for various programming languages
DESCRIPTION
Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors), Fortran, Python, VHDL and to some extent PHP, C#, and D.
You can use
doxygen in a number of ways:
1) Use doxygen to generate a template configuration
file*:
doxygen [-s] -g [configName]
2) Use doxygen to update an old configuration file*:
doxygen [-s] -u [configName]
3) Use doxygen to generate
documentation using an existing configuration
file*:
doxygen [configName]
4) Use doxygen to generate a
template file controlling the layout of the
generated documentation:
doxygen -l [layoutFileName]
In case
layoutFileName is omitted DoxygenLayout.xml will be used as
filename.
If - is used for layoutFileName doxygen will write to
standard output.
5) Use doxygen to generate a template style sheet file for
RTF, HTML or
Latex.
RTF: doxygen -w rtf styleSheetFile
HTML: doxygen -w html headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
LaTeX: doxygen -w latex headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
6) Use doxygen to generate an rtf extensions file
RTF: doxygen -e rtf extensionsFile
If - is used for
extensionsFile doxygen will write to standard output.
7) Use doxygen to compare the used configuration file with
the template
configuration file
doxygen -x [configFile]
Use doxygen to compare the used
configuration file with the template
configuration file
without replacing the environment variables
doxygen -x_noenv [configFile]
8) Use doxygen to show a list of built-in emojis.
doxygen -f emoji outputFileName
If - is used for outputFileName doxygen will write to standard output.
*) If -s
is specified the comments of the configuration items in the
config file will be omitted.
If configName is omitted ’Doxyfile’ will be used
as a default.
If - is used for configFile doxygen will write / read the
configuration to /from standard output / input.
If -q is used for a doxygen documentation run, doxygen will see this as if QUIET=YES has been set.
-v print version string, -V print extended version information
-h,-? prints usage help information
doxygen -d prints additional usage flags for debugging purposes
