It is parsed by \c doxygen. The file may contain tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. The statements in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the \# character and end at the end of the line. The file essentially consists of a list of assignment statements. Each statement consists of a \c TAG_NAME written in capitals, followed by the = character and one or more values. If the same tag is assigned more than once, the last assignment overwrites any earlier assignment. For options that take a list as their argument, the += operator can be used instead of = to append new values to the list. Values are sequences of non-blanks. If the value should contain one or more blanks it must be surrounded by quotes ("..."). Multiple lines can be concatenated by inserting a backslash (\\) as the last character of a line. Environment variables can be expanded using the pattern \$(ENV_VARIABLE_NAME). You can also include part of a configuration file from another configuration file using a \@INCLUDE tag as follows: \verbatim @INCLUDE = config_file_name \endverbatim The include file is searched in the current working directory. You can also specify a list of directories that should be searched before looking in the current working directory. Do this by putting a \@INCLUDE_PATH tag with these paths before the \@INCLUDE tag, e.g: \verbatim @INCLUDE_PATH = my_config_dir \endverbatim The configuration options can be divided into several categories. Below is an alphabetical index of the tags that are recognized followed by the descriptions of the tags grouped by category. \secreflist \refitem cfg_abbreviate_brief ABBREVIATE_BRIEF \refitem

config_project Project related options \anchor cfg_project_name
\c PROJECT_NAME
\addindex PROJECT_NAME The \c PROJECT_NAME tag is a single word (or a sequence of words surrounded by double-quotes) that should identify the project for which the documentation is generated. This name is used in the title of most generated pages and in a few other places. \anchor cfg_project_number
\c PROJECT_NUMBER
\addindex PROJECT_NUMBER The \c PROJECT_NUMBER tag can be used to enter a project or revision number. This could be handy for archiving the generated documentation or if some version control system is used. \anchor cfg_output_directory
\c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
\addindex OUTPUT_DIRECTORY The \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY tag is used to specify the (relative or absolute) path into which the generated documentation will be written. If a relative path is entered, it will be relative to the location where doxygen was started. If left blank the current directory will be used. \anchor cfg_create_subdirs
\c CREATE_SUBDIRS
\addindex CREATE_SUBDIRS If the \c CREATE_SUBDIRS tag is set to \c YES, then doxygen will create 4096 sub-directories (in 2 levels) under the output directory of each output format and will distribute the generated files over these directories. Enabling this option can be useful when feeding doxygen a huge amount of source files, where putting all generated files in the same directory would otherwise causes performance problems for the file system. \anchor cfg_output_language
\c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE
\addindex OUTPUT_LANGUAGE The \c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE tag is used to specify the language in which all documentation generated by doxygen is written. Doxygen will use this information to generate all constant output in the proper language. The default language is English, other supported languages are: Brazilian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian. \anchor cfg_use_windows_encoding
\c USE_WINDOWS_ENCODING
\addindex USE_WINDOWS_ENCODING This tag can be used to specify the encoding used in the generated output. The encoding is not always determined by the language that is chosen, but also whether or not the output is meant for Windows or non-Windows users. In case there is a difference, setting the \c USE_WINDOWS_ENCODING tag to \c YES forces the Windows encoding, (this is the default for the Windows binary), whereas setting the tag to \c NO uses a Unix-style encoding (the default for all platforms other than Windows). \anchor cfg_brief_member_desc
\c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC
\addindex BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC If the \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will include brief member descriptions after the members that are listed in the file and class documentation (similar to JavaDoc). Set to NO to disable this. \anchor cfg_repeat_brief
\c REPEAT_BRIEF
\addindex REPEAT_BRIEF If the \c REPEAT_BRIEF tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will prepend the brief description of a member or function before the detailed description \par Note: If both \c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS and \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC are set to \c NO, the brief descriptions will be completely suppressed. \anchor cfg_abbreviate_brief
\c ABBREVIATE_BRIEF
\addindex ABBREVIATE_BRIEF This tag implements a quasi-intelligent brief description abbreviator that is used to form the text in various listings. Each string in this list, if found as the leading text of the brief description, will be stripped from the text and the result after processing the whole list, is used as the annotated text. Otherwise, the brief description is used as-is. If left blank, the following values are used ("\$name" is automatically replaced with the name of the entity): "The $name class" "The $name widget" "The $name file" "is" "provides" "specifies" "contains" "represents" "a" "an" "the". \anchor cfg_always_detailed_sec
\c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC
\addindex ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC If the \c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC and \c REPEAT_BRIEF tags are both set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a detailed section even if there is only a brief description. \anchor cfg_inline_inherited_memb
\c INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB
\addindex INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB If the \c INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will show all inherited members of a class in the documentation of that class as if those members were ordinary class members. Constructors, destructors and assignment operators of the base classes will not be shown. \anchor cfg_full_path_names
\c FULL_PATH_NAMES
\addindex FULL_PATH_NAMES If the \c FULL_PATH_NAMES tag is set to \c YES doxygen will prepend the full path before files name in the file list and in the header files. If set to NO the shortest path that makes the file name unique will be used \anchor cfg_strip_from_path
\c STRIP_FROM_PATH
\addindex STRIP_FROM_PATH If the \c FULL_PATH_NAMES tag is set to \c YES then the \c STRIP_FROM_PATH tag can be used to strip a user-defined part of the path. Stripping is only done if one of the specified strings matches the left-hand part of the path. The tag can be used to show relative paths in the file list. If left blank the directory from which doxygen is run is used as the path to strip. \anchor cfg_strip_from_inc_path
\c STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH The \c STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH tag can be used to strip a user-defined part of the path mentioned in the documentation of a class, which tells the reader which header file to include in order to use a class. If left blank only the name of the header file containing the class definition is used. Otherwise one should specify the include paths that are normally passed to the compiler using the -I flag. \anchor cfg_case_sense_names
\c CASE_SENSE_NAMES
\addindex CASE_SENSE_NAMES If the \c CASE_SENSE_NAMES tag is set to \c NO then doxygen will only generate file names in lower-case letters. If set to \c YES upper-case letters are also allowed. This is useful if you have classes or files whose names only differ in case and if your file system supports case sensitive file names. Windows users are advised to set this option to NO. \anchor cfg_short_names
\c SHORT_NAMES
\addindex SHORT_NAMES If the \c SHORT_NAMES tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will generate much shorter (but less readable) file names. This can be useful is your file systems doesn't support long names like on DOS, Mac, or CD-ROM. \anchor cfg_javadoc_autobrief
\c JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF
\addindex JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF If the \c JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is set to \c YES then doxygen will interpret the first line (until the first dot) of a JavaDoc-style comment as the brief description. If set to NO (the default), the Javadoc-style will behave just like the Qt-style comments. \anchor cfg_multiline_cpp_is_brief
\c MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF
\addindex MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF The MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF tag can be set to YES to make Doxygen treat a multi-line C++ special comment block (i.e. a block of //! or /// comments) as a brief description. This used to be the default behaviour. The new default is to treat a multi-line C++ comment block as a detailed description. Set this tag to YES if you prefer the old behaviour instead. Note that setting this tag to YES also means that rational rose comments are not recognized any more. \anchor cfg_details_at_top
\c DETAILS_AT_TOP
\addindex DETAILS_AT_TOP If the DETAILS_AT_TOP tag is set to YES then Doxygen will output the detailed description near the top, like JavaDoc. If set to NO, the detailed description appears after the member documentation. \anchor cfg_inherit_docs
\c INHERIT_DOCS
\addindex INHERIT_DOCS If the \c INHERIT_DOCS tag is set to \c YES (the default) then an undocumented member inherits the documentation from any documented member that it re-implements. \anchor cfg_distribute_group_doc
\c DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC
\addindex DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC If member grouping is used in the documentation and the DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC tag is set to YES, then doxygen will reuse the documentation of the first member in the group (if any) for the other members of the group. By default all members of a group must be documented explicitly. \anchor cfg_separate_member_pages
\c SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES
\addindex SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES If the \c SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES tag is set to \c YES, then doxygen will produce a new page for each member. If set to \c NO, the documentation of a member will be part of the file/class/namespace that contains it. \anchor cfg_tab_size
\c TAB_SIZE
\addindex TAB_SIZE the \c TAB_SIZE tag can be used to set the number of spaces in a tab. Doxygen uses this value to replace tabs by spaces in code fragments. \anchor cfg_aliases
\c ALIASES
\addindex ALIASES This tag can be used to specify a number of aliases that acts as commands in the documentation. An alias has the form \verbatim name=value \endverbatim For example adding \verbatim "sideeffect=\par Side Effects:\n" \endverbatim will allow you to put the command \\sideeffect (or \@sideeffect) in the documentation, which will result in a user-defined paragraph with heading "Side Effects:". You can put \\n's in the value part of an alias to insert newlines. \anchor cfg_optimize_output_for_c
\c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C Set the \c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C tag to \c YES if your project consists of C sources only. Doxygen will then generate output that is more tailored for C. For instance, some of the names that are used will be different. The list of all members will be omitted, etc. \anchor cfg_optimize_output_java
\c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA Set the OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA tag to YES if your project consists of Java sources only. Doxygen will then generate output that is more tailored for Java. For instance, namespaces will be presented as packages, qualified scopes will look different, etc. \anchor cfg_subgrouping
\c SUBGROUPING
\addindex SUBGROUPING Set the \c SUBGROUPING tag to \c YES (the default) to allow class member groups of the same type (for instance a group of public functions) to be put as a subgroup of that type (e.g. under the Public Functions section). Set it to \c NO to prevent subgrouping. Alternatively, this can be done per class using the \ref cmdnosubgrouping "\\nosubgrouping" command.
\section config_build Build related options \anchor cfg_extract_all
\c EXTRACT_ALL
\addindex EXTRACT_ALL If the \c EXTRACT_ALL tag is set to \c YES doxygen will assume all entities in documentation are documented, even if no documentation was available. Private class members and static file members will be hidden unless the \c EXTRACT_PRIVATE and \c EXTRACT_STATIC tags are set to \c YES \par Note: This will also disable the warnings about undocumented members that are normally produced when \c WARNINGS is set to \c YES \anchor cfg_extract_private
\c EXTRACT_PRIVATE
\addindex EXTRACT_PRIVATE If the \c EXTRACT_PRIVATE tag is set to \c YES all private members of a class will be included in the documentation. \anchor cfg_extract_static

If set to NO only classes defined in header files are included. Does not have any effect for Java sources. \anchor cfg_extract_local_methods
\c EXTRACT_LOCAL_METHODS
\addindex EXTRACT_LOCAL_METHODS This flag is only useful for Objective-C code. When set to \c YES local methods, which are defined in the implementation section but not in the interface are included in the documentation. If set to \c NO (the default) only methods in the interface are included. \anchor cfg_hide_undoc_members
\c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS If the \c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will hide all undocumented members inside documented classes or files. If set to \c NO (the default) these members will be included in the various overviews, but no documentation section is generated. This option has no effect if \c EXTRACT_ALL is enabled. \anchor cfg_hide_undoc_classes
\c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES If the \c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSESS tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will hide all undocumented classes.

\c HIDE_FRIEND_COMPOUNDS
\addindex HIDE_FRIEND_COMPOUNDS If the \c HIDE_FRIEND_COMPOUNDS tag is set to \c YES, Doxygen will hide all friend (class|struct|union) declarations. If set to \c NO (the default) these declarations will be included in the documentation. \anchor cfg_hide_in_body_docs
\c HIDE_IN_BODY_DOCS
\addindex HIDE_IN_BODY_DOCS If the \c HIDE_IN_BODY_DOCS tag is set to \c YES, Doxygen will hide any documentation blocks found inside the body of a function. If set to \c NO (the default) these blocks will be appended to the function's detailed documentation block. \anchor cfg_internal_docs
\c INTERNAL_DOCS
\addindex INTERNAL_DOCS The \c INTERNAL_DOCS tag determines if documentation that is typed after a \ref cmdinternal "\\internal" command is included. If the tag is set to \c NO (the default) then the documentation will be excluded. Set it to \c YES to include the internal documentation. \anchor cfg_hide_scope_names
\c HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES
\addindex HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES If the \c HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES tag is set to \c NO (the default) then doxygen will show members with their full class and namespace scopes in the documentation. If set to \c YES the scope will be hidden. \anchor cfg_show_include_files
\c SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES
\addindex SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES If the SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES tag is set to YES (the default) then doxygen will put a list of the files that are included by a file in the documentation of that file. \anchor cfg_inline_info
\c INLINE_INFO
\addindex INLINE_INFO If the \c INLINE_INFO tag is set to \c YES (the default) then a tag [inline] is inserted in the documentation for inline members. \anchor cfg_sort_member_docs
\c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS
\addindex SORT_MEMBER_DOCS If the \c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS tag is set to \c YES (the default) then doxygen will sort the (detailed) documentation of file and class members alphabetically by member name. If set to \c NO the members will appear in declaration order. \anchor cfg_sort_brief_docs

\c MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES
\addindex MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES The \c MAX_INITIALIZER_LINES tag determines the maximum number of lines that the initial value of a variable or define can be. If the initializer consists of more lines than specified here it will be hidden. Use a value of 0 to hide initializers completely. The appearance of the value of individual variables and defines can be controlled using \ref cmdshowinitializer "\\showinitializer" or \ref cmdhideinitializer "\\hideinitializer" command in the documentation. \anchor cfg_show_used_files
\c SHOW_USED_FILES
\addindex SHOW_USED_FILES Set the \c SHOW_USED_FILES tag to \c NO to disable the list of files generated at the bottom of the documentation of classes and structs. If set to \c YES the list will mention the files that were used to generate the documentation. \anchor cfg_show_dirs

\section messages_input Options related to warning and progress messages \anchor cfg_quiet
\c QUIET
\addindex QUIET The \c QUIET tag can be used to turn on/off the messages that are generated to standard output by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO, where \c YES implies that the messages are off. If left blank \c NO is used. \anchor cfg_warnings
\c WARNINGS
\addindex WARNINGS The \c WARNINGS tag can be used to turn on/off the warning messages that are generated to standard error by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO, where \c YES implies that the warnings are on. If left blank \c NO is used. \b Tip: Turn warnings on while writing the documentation. \anchor cfg_warn_if_undocumented
\c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED
\addindex WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED If \c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED is set to \c YES, then doxygen will generate warnings for undocumented members. If \c EXTRACT_ALL is set to \c YES then this flag will automatically be disabled. \anchor cfg_warn_if_doc_error
\c WARN_IF_DOC_ERROR
If \c WARN_IF_DOC_ERROR is set to \c YES, doxygen will generate warnings for potential errors in the documentation, such as not documenting some parameters in a documented function, or documenting parameters that don't exist or using markup commands wrongly. \anchor cfg_warn_no_paramdoc
\c WARN_NO_PARAMDOC This \c WARN_NO_PARAMDOC option can be abled to get warnings for functions that are documented, but have no documentation for their parameters or return value. If set to \c NO (the default) doxygen will only warn about wrong or incomplete parameter documentation, but not about the absence of documentation. \anchor cfg_warn_format
\c WARN_FORMAT
\addindex WARN_FORMAT The \c WARN_FORMAT tag determines the format of the warning messages that doxygen can produce. The string should contain the \$file, \$line, and \$text tags, which will be replaced by the file and line number from which the warning originated and the warning text. \anchor cfg_warn_logfile
\c WARN_LOGFILE
\addindex WARN_LOGFILE The \c WARN_LOGFILE tag can be used to specify a file to which warning and error messages should be written. If left blank the output is written to stderr.
\section config_input Input related options \anchor cfg_input
\c INPUT
\addindex INPUT The \c INPUT tag is used to specify the files and/or directories that contain documented source files. You may enter file names like \c myfile.cpp or directories like \c /usr/src/myproject. Separate the files or directories with spaces.
\b Note: If this tag is empty the current directory is searched. \anchor cfg_file_patterns
\c FILE_PATTERNS
\addindex FILE_PATTERNS If the value of the \c INPUT tag contains directories, you can use the \c FILE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns (like \c *.cpp and \c *.h ) to filter out the source-files in the directories. If left blank the following patterns are tested: *.c *.cc *.cxx *.cpp *.c++ *.java *.ii *.ixx *.ipp *.i++ *.inl *.h *.hh *.hxx *.hpp *.h++ *.idl *.odl *.cs *.php *.php3 *.inc *.m *.mm \anchor cfg_file_version_filter
\c FILE_VERSION_FILTER
\addindex FILE_VERSION_FILTER The \c FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program or script that doxygen should invoke to get the current version for each file (typically from the version control system). Doxygen will invoke the program by executing (via popen()) the command command input-file, where \c command is the value of the \c FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag, and \c input-file is the name of an input file provided by doxygen. Whatever the progam writes to standard output is used as the file version. Example of using a shell script as a filter for Unix: \verbatim FILE_VERSION_FILTER = "/bin/sh versionfilter.sh" \endverbatim Example shell script for CVS: \verbatim #!/bin/sh cvs status $1 | sed -n 's/^[ \]*Working revision:[ \t]*\([0-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p' \endverbatim Example shell script for Subversion: \verbatim #!/bin/sh svn stat -v $1 | sed -n 's/^[ A-Z?\*|!]\{1,15\}/r/;s/ \{1,15\}/\/r/;s/ .*//p' \endverbatim Example filter for ClearCase: \verbatim FILE_VERSION_INFO = "cleartool desc -fmt \%Vn" \endverbatim \anchor cfg_recursive
\c RECURSIVE
\addindex RECURSIVE The \c RECURSIVE tag can be used to specify whether or not subdirectories should be searched for input files as well. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO. If left blank \c NO is used. \anchor cfg_exclude
\c EXCLUDE
\addindex EXCLUDE The \c EXCLUDE tag can be used to specify files and/or directories that should excluded from the \c INPUT source files. This way you can easily exclude a subdirectory from a directory tree whose root is specified with the \c INPUT tag. \anchor cfg_exclude_symlinks
\c EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS
\addindex EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS The \c EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS tag can be used select whether or not files or directories that are symbolic links (a Unix filesystem feature) are excluded from the input. \anchor cfg_exclude_patterns
\c EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
\addindex EXCLUDE_PATTERNS If the value of the \c INPUT tag contains directories, you can use the \c EXCLUDE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns to exclude certain files from those directories. Note that the wildcards are matched against the file with absolute path, so to exclude all test directories use the pattern */test/* \anchor cfg_example_path
\c EXAMPLE_PATH
\addindex EXAMPLE_PATH The \c EXAMPLE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more files or directories that contain example code fragments that are included (see the \\include command in section \ref cmdinclude "\\include"). \anchor cfg_example_recursive
\c EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE
\addindex EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE If the \c EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE tag is set to \c YES then subdirectories will be searched for input files to be used with the \\include or \\dontinclude commands irrespective of the value of the \c RECURSIVE tag. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO. If left blank \c NO is used. \anchor cfg_example_patterns
\c EXAMPLE_PATTERNS
\addindex EXAMPLE_PATTERNS If the value of the \c EXAMPLE_PATH tag contains directories, you can use the \c EXAMPLE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard pattern (like *.cpp and *.h) to filter out the source-files in the directories. If left blank all files are included. \anchor cfg_image_path
\c IMAGE_PATH
\addindex IMAGE_PATH The \c IMAGE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more files or directories that contain images that are to be included in the documentation (see the \ref cmdimage "\\image" command). \anchor cfg_input_filter
\c INPUT_FILTER
\addindex INPUT_FILTER The \c INPUT_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program that doxygen should invoke to filter for each input file. Doxygen will invoke the filter program by executing (via popen()) the command: \verbatim \endverbatim where \ is the value of the \c INPUT_FILTER tag, and \ is the name of an input file. Doxygen will then use the output that the filter program writes to standard output. \anchor cfg_filter_patterns
\c FILTER_PATTERNS
\addindex FILTER_PATTERNS The \c FILTER_PATTERNS tag can be used to specify filters on a per file pattern basis. Doxygen will compare the file name with each pattern and apply the filter if there is a match. The filters are a list of the form: pattern=filter (like *.cpp=my_cpp_filter). See \c INPUT_FILTER for further info on how filters are used. If \c FILTER_PATTERNS is empty, \c INPUT_FILTER is applied to all files. \anchor cfg_filter_source_files
\c FILTER_SOURCE_FILES
\addindex FILTER_SOURCE_FILES If the \c FILTER_SOURCE_FILES tag is set to \c YES, the input filter (if set using \ref cfg_input_filter "INPUT_FILTER" ) will also be used to filter the input files that are used for producing the source files to browse (i.e. when SOURCE_BROWSER is set to YES).
\section sourcebrowser_index Source browsing related options \anchor cfg_source_browser
\c SOURCE_BROWSER
\addindex SOURCE_BROWSER If the \c SOURCE_BROWSER tag is set to \c YES then a list of source files will be generated. Documented entities will be cross-referenced with these sources. \anchor cfg_inline_sources

\addindex REFERENCES_RELATION If the \c REFERENCES_RELATION tag is set to \c YES (the default) then for each documented function all documented entities called/used by that function will be listed. \anchor cfg_verbatim_headers
\c VERBATIM_HEADERS
\addindex VERBATIM_HEADERS If the \c VERBATIM_HEADERS tag is set the \c YES (the default) then doxygen will generate a verbatim copy of the header file for each class for which an include is specified. Set to NO to disable this. \sa Section \ref cmdclass "\\class". \anchor cfg_use_htags
\c USE_HTAGS
\addindex USE_HTAGS If the \c USE_HTAGS tag is set to \c YES then the references to source code will point to the HTML generated by the htags(1) tool instead of doxygen built-in source browser. The htags tool is part of GNU's global source tagging system (see http://www.gnu.org/software/global/global.html). The use it do the following: -# Install the latest version of global (i.e. 4.8.6 or better) -# Enable SOURCE_BROWSER and USE_HTAGS in the config file -# Make sure the INPUT points to the root of the source tree -# Run doxygen as normal Doxygen will invoke htags (and that will in turn invoke gtags), so these tools must be available from the command line (i.e. in the search path). The result: instead of the source browser generated by doxygen, the links to source code will now point to the output of htags.
\section alphabetical_index Alphabetical index options \anchor cfg_alphabetical_index
\c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX
\addindex ALPHABETICAL_INDEX If the \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX tag is set to \c YES, an alphabetical index of all compounds will be generated. Enable this if the project contains a lot of classes, structs, unions or interfaces. \anchor cfg_cols_in_alpha_index
\c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX
\addindex COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX If the alphabetical index is enabled (see \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX) then the \c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX tag can be used to specify the number of columns in which this list will be split (can be a number in the range [1..20]) \anchor cfg_ignore_prefix
\c IGNORE_PREFIX
\addindex IGNORE_PREFIX In case all classes in a project start with a common prefix, all classes will be put under the same header in the alphabetical index. The \c IGNORE_PREFIX tag can be used to specify a prefix (or a list of prefixes) that should be ignored while generating the index headers.

\addindex GENERATE_HTML If the \c GENERATE_HTML tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will generate HTML output \anchor cfg_html_output
\c HTML_OUTPUT
\addindex HTML_OUTPUT The \c HTML_OUTPUT tag is used to specify where the HTML docs will be put. If a relative path is entered the value of \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will be put in front of it. If left blank `html' will be used as the default path. \anchor cfg_html_file_extension
\c HTML_FILE_EXTENSION
\addindex HTML_FILE_EXTENSION The \c HTML_FILE_EXTENSION tag can be used to specify the file extension for each generated HTML page (for example: .htm, .php, .asp). If it is left blank doxygen will generate files with .html extension. \anchor cfg_html_header
\c HTML_HEADER
\addindex HTML_HEADER The \c HTML_HEADER tag can be used to specify a user-defined HTML header file for each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the header file should contain at least a \c \ and a \c \ tag, but it is good idea to include the style sheet that is generated by doxygen as well. Minimal example: \verbatim My title \endverbatim If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard header. The following commands have a special meaning inside the header: \$title, \$datetime, \$date, \$doxygenversion, \$projectname, and \$projectnumber. Doxygen will replace them by respectively the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date, the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER). If \c CREATE_SUBDIRS is enabled, the command \$relpath\$ can be used to produce a relative path to the root of the HTML output directory, e.g. use \$relpath\$doxygen.css, to refer to the standard style sheet. See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the default header that doxygen normally uses. \anchor cfg_html_footer
\c HTML_FOOTER
\addindex HTML_FOOTER The \c HTML_FOOTER tag can be used to specify a user-defined HTML footer for each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the footer file should contain at least a \c \ and a \c \ tag. A minimal example: \verbatim \endverbatim If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard footer.

\c HTML_STYLESHEET
\addindex HTML_STYLESHEET The \c HTML_STYLESHEET tag can be used to specify a user-defined cascading style sheet that is used by each HTML page. It can be used to fine-tune the look of the HTML output. If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a default style sheet. See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the style sheet that doxygen normally uses. \anchor cfg_html_align_members
\c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS
\addindex HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS If the \c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS tag is set to \c YES, the members of classes, files or namespaces will be aligned in HTML using tables. If set to \c NO a bullet list will be used. Note: Setting this tag to \c NO will become obsolete in the future, since I only intent to support and test the aligned representation. \anchor cfg_generate_htmlhelp
\c GENERATE_HTMLHELP
\addindex GENERATE_HTMLHELP If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES then doxygen generates three additional HTML index files: \c index.hhp, \c index.hhc, and \c index.hhk. The \c index.hhp is a project file that can be read by Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop on Windows. The HTML Help Workshop contains a compiler that can convert all HTML output generated by doxygen into a single compressed HTML file (.chm). Compressed HTML files are now used as the Windows 98 help format, and will replace the old Windows help format (.hlp) on all Windows platforms in the future. Compressed HTML files also contain an index, a table of contents, and you can search for words in the documentation. The HTML workshop also contains a viewer for compressed HTML files. \anchor cfg_chm_file
\c CHM_FILE
\addindex CHM_FILE If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c CHM_FILE tag can be used to specify the file name of the resulting .chm file. You can add a path in front of the file if the result should not be written to the html output directory. \anchor cfg_hhc_location
\c HHC_LOCATION
\addindex HHC_LOCATION If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c HHC_LOCATION tag can be used to specify the location (absolute path including file name) of the HTML help compiler (hhc.exe).

\c DISABLE_INDEX
\addindex DISABLE_INDEX If you want full control over the layout of the generated HTML pages it might be necessary to disable the index and replace it with your own. The \c DISABLE_INDEX tag can be used to turn on/off the condensed index at top of each page. A value of NO (the default) enables the index and the value YES disables it. \anchor cfg_enum_values_per_line
\c ENUM_VALUES_PER_LINE
\addindex ENUM_VALUES_PER_LINE This tag can be used to set the number of enum values (range [1..20]) that doxygen will group on one line in the generated HTML documentation. \anchor cfg_generate_treeview
\c GENERATE_TREEVIEW
\addindex GENERATE_TREEVIEW If the \c GENERATE_TREEVIEW tag is set to YES, a side panel will be generated containing a tree-like index structure (just like the one that is generated for HTML Help). For this to work a browser that supports JavaScript and frames is required (for instance Mozilla 1.0+, Netscape 6.0+ or Internet explorer 5.0+ or Konqueror). \anchor cfg_treeview_width
\c TREEVIEW_WIDTH
\addindex TREEVIEW_WIDTH If the treeview is enabled (see \c GENERATE_TREEVIEW) then this tag can be used to set the initial width (in pixels) of the frame in which the tree is shown.

\addindex PERLMOD_PRETTY If the \c PERLMOD_PRETTY tag is set to \c YES the Perl module output will be nicely formatted so it can be parsed by a human reader. This is useful if you want to understand what is going on. On the other hand, if this tag is set to \c NO the size of the Perl module output will be much smaller and Perl will parse it just the same. \anchor cfg_perlmod_makevar_prefix
\c PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX
\addindex PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX The names of the make variables in the generated doxyrules.make file are prefixed with the string contained in \c PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX. This is useful so different doxyrules.make files included by the same Makefile don't overwrite each other's variables.
\section config_prepro Preprocessor related options \anchor cfg_enable_preprocessing

\c MACRO_EXPANSION
\addindex MACRO_EXPANSION If the \c MACRO_EXPANSION tag is set to \c YES doxygen will expand all macro names in the source code. If set to \c NO (the default) only conditional compilation will be performed. Macro expansion can be done in a controlled way by setting \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF to \c YES. \anchor cfg_expand_only_predef
\c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF
\addindex EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF If the \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF and \c MACRO_EXPANSION tags are both set to YES then the macro expansion is limited to the macros specified with the \c PREDEFINED and \c EXPAND_AS_DEFINED tags. \anchor cfg_search_includes

\c PREDEFINED
\addindex PREDEFINED The \c PREDEFINED tag can be used to specify one or more macro names that are defined before the preprocessor is started (similar to the -D option of gcc). The argument of the tag is a list of macros of the form: name or name=definition (no spaces). If the definition and the "=" are omitted, "=1" is assumed. To prevent a macro definition from being undefined via \#undef or recursively expanded use the := operator instead of the = operator. \anchor cfg_expand_as_defined
\c EXPAND_AS_DEFINED
\addindex EXPAND_AS_DEFINED If the \c MACRO_EXPANSION and \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF tags are set to \c YES then this tag can be used to specify a list of macro names that should be expanded. The macro definition that is found in the sources will be used. Use the \c PREDEFINED tag if you want to use a different macro definition. \anchor cfg_skip_function_macros
\c SKIP_FUNCTION_MACROS
\addindex SKIP_FUNCTION_MACROS If the \c SKIP_FUNCTION_MACROS tag is set to \c YES (the default) then doxygen's preprocessor will remove all function-like macros that are alone on a line, have an all uppercase name, and do not end with a semicolon. Such function macros are typically used for boiler-plate code, and will confuse the parser if not removed.

\addindex TAGFILES The \c TAGFILES tag can be used to specify one or more tagfiles. See section \ref doxytag_usage for more information about the usage of tag files. Optionally an initial location of the external documentation can be added for each tagfile. The format of a tag file without this location is as follows:
TAGFILES = file1 file2 ... 
Adding location for the tag files is done as follows:
TAGFILES = file1=loc1 "file2 = loc2" ... 
where \c loc1 and \c loc2 can be relative or absolute paths or URLs, If a location is present for each tag, the installdox tool (see section \ref installdox_usage for more information) does not have to be run to correct the links. \par Note: Each tag file must have a unique name (where the name does \e not include the path) If a tag file is not located in the directory in which doxygen is run, you must also specify the path to the tagfile here. \anchor cfg_generate_tagfile
\c GENERATE_TAGFILE

\section config_dot Dot options \anchor cfg_class_diagrams
\c CLASS_DIAGRAMS
\addindex CLASS_DIAGRAMS If the \c CLASS_DIAGRAMS tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will generate a class diagram (in HTML and \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$) for classes with base or super classes. Setting the tag to \c NO turns the diagrams off. Note that this option is superseded by the HAVE_DOT option below. This is only a fallback. It is recommended to install and use dot, since it yields more powerful graphs. \anchor cfg_have_dot
\c HAVE_DOT
\addindex HAVE_DOT If you set the \c HAVE_DOT tag to \c YES then doxygen will assume the dot tool is available from the path. This tool is part of Graphviz, a graph visualization toolkit from AT\&T and Lucent Bell Labs. The other options in this section have no effect if this option is set to \c NO (the default) \anchor cfg_class_graph
\c CLASS_GRAPH
\addindex CLASS_GRAPH If the \c CLASS_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented class showing the direct and indirect inheritance relations. Setting this tag to \c YES will force the the \c CLASS_DIAGRAMS tag to NO. \anchor cfg_collaboration_graph
\c COLLABORATION_GRAPH
\addindex COLLABORATION_GRAPH If the \c COLLABORATION_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented class showing the direct and indirect implementation dependencies (inheritance, containment, and class references variables) of the class with other documented classes. \anchor cfg_group_graphs
\c GROUP_GRAPHS
\addindex GROUP_GRAPHS If the GROUP_GRAPHS and HAVE_DOT tags are set to YES then doxygen will generate a graph for groups, showing the direct groups dependencies. \anchor cfg_uml_look
\c UML_LOOK
\addindex UML_LOOK If the UML_LOOK tag is set to YES doxygen will generate inheritance and collaboration diagrams in a style similar to the OMG's Unified Modeling Language. \anchor cfg_template_relations
\c TEMPLATE_RELATIONS
\addindex TEMPLATE_RELATIONS If the \c TEMPLATE_RELATIONS and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will show the relations between templates and their instances. \anchor cfg_hide_undoc_relations
\c HIDE_UNDOC_RELATIONS
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_RELATIONS If set to YES, the inheritance and collaboration graphs will hide inheritance and usage relations if the target is undocumented or is not a class. \anchor cfg_include_graph
\c INCLUDE_GRAPH
\addindex INCLUDE_GRAPH If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, \c SEARCH_INCLUDES, \c INCLUDE_GRAPH, and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented file showing the direct and indirect include dependencies of the file with other documented files. \anchor cfg_included_by_graph
\c INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH
\addindex INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, \c SEARCH_INCLUDES, \c INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH, and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented header file showing the documented files that directly or indirectly include this file. \anchor cfg_call_graph
\c CALL_GRAPH
\addindex CALL_GRAPH If the \c CALL_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a call dependency graph for every global function or class method. Note that enabling this option will significantly increase the time of a run. So in most cases it will be better to enable call graphs for selected functions only using the \\callgraph command. \anchor cfg_graphical_hierarchy
\c GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY
\addindex GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY If the \c GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will graphical hierarchy of all classes instead of a textual one. \anchor cfg_directory_graph
\c DIRECTORY_GRAPH
\addindex DIRECTORY_GRAPH If the \c DIRECTORY_GRAPH, \c SHOW_DIRECTORIES and \c HAVE_DOT options are set to \c YES then doxygen will show the dependencies a directory has on other directories in a graphical way. The dependency relations are determined by the \#include relations between the files in the directories. \anchor cfg_dot_image_format
\c DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT
\addindex DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT The \c DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT tag can be used to set the image format of the images generated by dot. Possible values are gif, jpg, and png. If left blank png will be used. \anchor cfg_dot_path
\c DOT_PATH
\addindex DOT_PATH This tag can be used to specify the path where the dot tool can be found. If left blank, it is assumed the dot tool can be found on the path. \anchor cfg_dotfile_dirs
\c DOTFILE_DIRS
\addindex DOTFILE_DIRS This tag can be used to specify one or more directories that contain dot files that are included in the documentation (see the \\dotfile command). \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_height
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT tag can be used to set the maximum allows height (in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very large images. \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_depth
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH tag can be used to set the maximum depth of the graphs generated by dot. A depth value of 3 means that only nodes reachable from the root by following a path via at most 3 edges will be shown. Nodes that lay further from the root node will be omitted. Note that setting this option to 1 or 2 may greatly reduce the computation time needed for large code bases. Also note that a graph may be further truncated if the graph's image dimensions are not sufficient to fit the graph (see \ref cfg_max_dot_graph_width "MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH" and \ref cfg_max_dot_graph_height "MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT"). If 0 is used for the depth value (the default), the graph is not depth-constraint. \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_width
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH tag can be used to set the maximum allowed width (in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very large images. \anchor cfg_dot_transparent
\c DOT_TRANSPARENT
\addindex DOT_TRANSPARENT Set the \c DOT_TRANSPARENT tag to \c YES to generate images with a transparent background. This is disabled by default, which results in a white background. Warning: Depending on the platform used, enabling this option may lead to badly anti-aliased labels on the edges of a graph (i.e. they become hard to read). \anchor cfg_dot_multi_targets
\c DOT_MULTI_TARGETS
\addindex DOT_MULTI_TARGET Set the \c DOT_MULTI_TARGETS tag to \c YES allow dot to generate multiple output files in one run (i.e. multiple -o and -T options on the command line). This makes dot run faster, but since only newer versions of dot (>1.8.10) support this, this feature is disabled by default. \anchor cfg_generate_legend
\c GENERATE_LEGEND
\addindex GENERATE_LEGEND If the \c GENERATE_LEGEND tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will generate a legend page explaining the meaning of the various boxes and arrows in the dot generated graphs. \anchor cfg_dot_cleanup
\c DOT_CLEANUP
\addindex DOT_CLEANUP If the \c DOT_CLEANUP tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will remove the intermediate dot files that are used to generate the various graphs.
\section config_search Search engine options \anchor cfg_searchengine
\c SEARCHENGINE
\addindex SEARCHENGINE The \c SEARCHENGINE tag specifies whether or not the HTML output should contain a search facility. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO. If set to YES, doxygen will produce a search index and a PHP script to search through the index. For this to work the documentation should be viewed via a web-server running PHP version 4.1.0 or higher. (See http://www.php.net/manual/en/installation.php for installation instructions).

Examples

Suppose you have a simple project consisting of two files: a source file \c example.cc and a header file \c example.h. Then a minimal configuration file is as simple as: \verbatim INPUT = example.cc example.h \endverbatim Assuming the example makes use of Qt classes and perl is located in /usr/bin, a more realistic configuration file would be: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Example INPUT = example.cc example.h WARNINGS = YES TAGFILES = qt.tag PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/perl SEARCHENGINE = NO \endverbatim To generate the documentation for the QdbtTabular package I have used the following configuration file: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = QdbtTabular OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = html WARNINGS = YES INPUT = examples/examples.doc src FILE_PATTERNS = *.cc *.h INCLUDE_PATH = examples TAGFILES = qt.tag PERL_PATH = /usr/local/bin/perl SEARCHENGINE = YES \endverbatim To regenerate the Qt-1.44 documentation from the sources, you could use the following config file: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Qt OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = qt_docs HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES MACRO_EXPANSION = YES EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES SEARCH_INCLUDES = YES FULL_PATH_NAMES = YES STRIP_FROM_PATH = $(QTDIR)/ PREDEFINED = USE_TEMPLATECLASS Q_EXPORT= \ QArrayT:=QArray \ QListT:=QList \ QDictT:=QDict \ QQueueT:=QQueue \ QVectorT:=QVector \ QPtrDictT:=QPtrDict \ QIntDictT:=QIntDict \ QStackT:=QStack \ QDictIteratorT:=QDictIterator \ QListIteratorT:=QListIterator \ QCacheT:=QCache \ QCacheIteratorT:=QCacheIterator \ QIntCacheT:=QIntCache \ QIntCacheIteratorT:=QIntCacheIterator \ QIntDictIteratorT:=QIntDictIterator \ QPtrDictIteratorT:=QPtrDictIterator INPUT = $(QTDIR)/doc \ $(QTDIR)/src/widgets \ $(QTDIR)/src/kernel \ $(QTDIR)/src/dialogs \ $(QTDIR)/src/tools FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include RECURSIVE = YES \endverbatim For the Qt-2.1 sources I recommend to use the following settings: \verbatim PROJECT_NAME = Qt PROJECT_NUMBER = 2.1 HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES SOURCE_BROWSER = YES INPUT = $(QTDIR)/src FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc RECURSIVE = YES EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = *codec.cpp moc_* */compat/* */3rdparty/* ALPHABETICAL_INDEX = YES COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX = 3 IGNORE_PREFIX = Q ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES MACRO_EXPANSION = YES INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include PREDEFINED = Q_PROPERTY(x)= \ Q_OVERRIDE(x)= \ Q_EXPORT= \ Q_ENUMS(x)= \ "QT_STATIC_CONST=static const " \ _WS_X11_ \ INCLUDE_MENUITEM_DEF EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES EXPAND_AS_DEFINED = Q_OBJECT_FAKE Q_OBJECT ACTIVATE_SIGNAL_WITH_PARAM \ Q_VARIANT_AS \endverbatim Here doxygen's preprocessor is used to substitute some macro names that are normally substituted by the C preprocessor, but without doing full macro expansion. */
