KDOC -- Programmers' Documentation Extraction and Genera tion ToolSYNOPSIS
kdoc [-DqpieaP] [-f format] [-n libname] [-d outdir] [-u url] [-l lib] kdoc [--help] kdoc [--version]DESCRIPTION
KDOC uses specially formatted comments in your C++ headers and CORBA IDL files to create cross-referenced documenta tion in various formats. KDOC can also correctly handle "signal" and "slot" speci fiers as used by the Qt GUI Toolkit. EXAMPLES kdoc -f html -d /home/web/komdoc -n kom *.idl kdoc -d /home/web/kdecore -u "http://www.mydomain/kdecore/" -n kdecore ~/kdelibs/kdecore/*.h -lqtOPTIONS
--stdin, -i Read the filenames to process from standard input. Ignored if filenames are specified at the command line. --format <string>, -f <string> Generate output in the specific format. This can be used many times to generate documentation in multiple formats. The default format is "html". See the OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS section for a list of available formats. --outputdir <path>, -d <path> Write output in the specified path. --url <url>, -u <url> The URL which will be used for links when cross-refer encing with this library. --name <string>, -n <string> Set the name of the library being processed, eg "kdecore" If no name is set, no index file is pro duced. --xref <library>, -l <library> Cross-reference with the specified library. This will allow referencing of classes etc that exist in the linked library. This option can be specified multiple times. For linking to work, you need to have generated docu mentation for the linked library with kdoc, so that the necessary index file is produced. --libdir <path>, -L <path> Set the directory that will be used to store the index files generated for cross-referencing. This is also used to search for index files for xref. The default is $HOME/.kdoc. If multiple paths are specified, each will be searched in order of specification on the command line. Unless --liboutdir is specified (see below), the gen erated .kdoc file will be written to the first path specified with this option. --liboutdir <path> Set the directory where newly created xref libraries (see above) will be written. The default is the lib dir. --compress, -z Compress generated KDOC index files with gzip to save space. --private, -p Document all private members. These are not documented by default. --skip-internal, -i Do not document internal members. They are documented as internal by default. --skip-deprecated, -e Do not document deprecated members. They are docu mented as deprecated by default. --strip-h-path Strip the path from the filenames in the output. PREPROCESSOR OPTIONS --cpp, -P Pass each source file through the C preprocessor. Cur rently g++ is required for this, but this requirement will change before 2.0. Directories for inclusion in the preprocessor header search path can be specified via the -I option. --docincluded Parse files that are included by the preprocessor #include macro. This is off by default. -cppcmd <command>, -C <command> Specify the preprocessor command that will be used. The default is: g++ -Wp,-C -E All specified -I paths will be appended to the com mand. This option quietly enables the -P option. --includedir <path>, -I <path> Add a directory to the preprocessor's header search paths. Requires the -P option. This option can be specified multiple times. OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS html Output documentation in HTML format. This is the default. latex Output documentation as a LaTeX document. man Output documentation as man pages. texinfo Output documentation in texinfo format. You must set the library name with the -n option for the output to be generated. docbook Output documentation in the DocBook SGML format. You must set the library name with the -n option for the output to be generated. check Print a report about the documentation, eg undocu mented classes and functions. Output format modifiers --html-css <url> In HTML format, the stylesheet specified by this option will be used by the generated documentation. --html-cols <1, 2 ..> In HTML format, set the number of columns for the Class Index. --html-logo <image url> In HTML format, specify the logo image to display on every page. It will appear to the left of the quick links. CROSS-REFERENCING LIBRARIESFILES
*.kdoc, *.kdoc.gz These are files that contain information about a library that has been processed with kdoc. It is read for cross-referencing with other libraries when the -l option is used. The .gz extension signifies gzipped cross-reference files. kdoc is capable of reading these, and generates them when the -z option is used. ENVIRONMENT KDOCLIBS If this is set, it is used as the default for the directory where generated cross-reference index files are saved. See also the --libdir option.SEE ALSO
