doxygen - documentation system for various programming
languages
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
