DOXYGEN(1)

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 or CMake type replacement 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
