.TH DOXYGEN "1" "08-09-2024" "doxygen 1.12.0" "User Commands" .SH NAME Doxygen \- documentation system for various programming languages .SH 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. .PP You can use Doxygen in a number of ways: .TP 1) Use Doxygen to generate a template configuration file*: .IP doxygen [-s] \fB\-g\fR [configName] .TP 2) Use Doxygen to update an old configuration file*: .IP doxygen [-s] \fB\-u\fR [configName] .TP 3) Use Doxygen to generate documentation using an existing configuration file*: .IP doxygen [configName] .TP 4) Use Doxygen to generate a template file controlling the layout of the generated documentation: .IP doxygen \fB\-l\fR [layoutFileName] .IP .RS 0 In case layoutFileName is omitted DoxygenLayout.xml will be used as filename. If - is used for layoutFileName Doxygen will write to standard output. .RE .TP 5) Use Doxygen to generate a template style sheet file for RTF, HTML or Latex. .IP RTF: doxygen \fB\-w\fR rtf styleSheetFile .IP HTML: doxygen \fB\-w\fR html headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile] .IP LaTeX: doxygen \fB\-w\fR latex headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile] .TP 6) Use Doxygen to generate an rtf extensions file .IP RTF: doxygen \fB\-e\fR rtf extensionsFile .IP .RS 0 If - is used for extensionsFile Doxygen will write to standard output. .RE .TP 7) Use Doxygen to compare the used configuration file with the template configuration file .IP doxygen \fB\-x\fR [configFile] .TP Use Doxygen to compare the used configuration file with the template configuration file .RS 0 without replacing the environment variables or CMake type replacement variables .RE .IP doxygen \fB\-x_noenv\fR [configFile] .TP 8) Use Doxygen to show a list of built-in emojis. .IP doxygen \fB\-f\fR emoji outputFileName .IP .RS 0 If - is used for outputFileName Doxygen will write to standard output. .RE .PP .RS 0 *) If \fB\-s\fR 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. .RE .PP If \fB\-q\fR is used for a Doxygen documentation run, Doxygen will see this as if QUIET=YES has been set. .PP \fB\-v\fR print version string, \fB\-V\fR print extended version information .PP \fB\-h\fR,\fB\-?\fR prints usage help information .PP doxygen \fB\-d\fR prints additional usage flags for debugging purposes .PP .SH AUTHOR Doxygen version 1.12.0, Copyright Dimitri van Heesch 1997-2024 .SH SEE ALSO doxywizard(1).
