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]

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
