NAME
       usdInitSchema - manual page for usdInitSchema 25.11

DESCRIPTION
       usage: usdInitSchema [-h] [-v] [-q] [--genModuleDeps] [-t TEMPLATEPATH]

              codeGenPath libraryPath [pxrPrefix]

       Set up build necessities for schema classes. This will generate
       templates for the CMakeLists.txt, __init__.py, schema.usda, module.cpp,
       and a user doc if they do not already exist.

   positional arguments:
       codeGenPath
              The target directory where the code should be generated. Can be
              '.' for the current directory.

       libraryPath
              The partial path with which to prefix '#include' statements of
              generated files for this module. For external (non-Pixar)
              plugins, we recommend setting libraryPath to ".", so that the
              headers inside src directory are included in the generated
              files.

       pxrPrefix
              Prefix to the path from pxr to this library. For pxr/usd/usd,
              the prefix would be pxr/usd. Omit this argument for non-OpenUSD
              build systems.

   options:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -v, --validate
              Verify that the source files are unchanged.

       -q, --quiet
              Do not output text during execution.

       --genModuleDeps
              Generates a template for the moduleDeps.cpp. This template will
              need to be filled in and kept up to date with library
              dependencies if you are not using the OpenUSD build system.

       -t, --templates TEMPLATEPATH
              Directory containing schema class templates. [Default: first
              directory that exists from this list: /build/usd
              /pkg/usd/usr/bin/codegenTemplates:/build/usd/pkg/usd/u
              sr/lib/usd/usd/resources/codegenTemplates]
