=) and one or more values. If the same tag is assigned more than once, the last assignment overwrites any earlier assignment. For tags 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 (\c \\) 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. ]]> All text after a double hash (##) is considered a comment and is placed in front of the TAG it is preceding.
All text after a single hash (#) is considered a comment and will be ignored. The format is: \verbatim TAG = value [value, ...] \endverbatim For lists, items can also be appended using: \verbatim TAG += value [value, ...] \endverbatim Values that contain spaces should be placed between quotes (\" \"). ]]>

Note: If both \ref cfg_hide_undoc_members "HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS" and \ref cfg_brief_member_desc "BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC" are set to \c NO, the brief descriptions will be completely suppressed. ]]> Note that you can specify absolute paths here, but also relative paths, which will be relative from the directory where doxygen is started. ]]> Note that setting this tag to \c YES also means that rational rose comments are not recognized any more. ]]> "name=value". For example adding "class=itcl::class" will allow you to use the command class in the itcl::class meaning. ]]> ext=language, where \c ext is a file extension, and language is one of the parsers supported by doxygen: IDL, Java, Javascript, C#, C, C++, D, PHP, Objective-C, Python, Fortran (fixed format Fortran: FortranFixed, free formatted Fortran: FortranFree, unknown formatted Fortran: Fortran. In the later case the parser tries to guess whether the code is fixed or free formatted code, this is the default for Fortran type files), VHDL. For instance to make doxygen treat .inc files as Fortran files (default is PHP), and .f files as C (default is Fortran), use: `inc=Fortran f=C`.
Note For files without extension you can use `no_extension` as a placeholder.
Note that for custom extensions you also need to set \ref cfg_file_patterns "FILE_PATTERNS" otherwise the files are not read by doxygen. ]]> sip sources only. Doxygen will parse them like normal C++ but will assume all classes use public instead of private inheritance when no explicit protection keyword is present. ]]> Note that this feature does not work in combination with \ref cfg_separate_member_pages "SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES". ]]> typedef struct TypeS {} TypeT, will appear in the documentation as a struct with name \c TypeT. When disabled the typedef will appear as a member of a file, namespace, or class. And the struct will be named \c TypeS. This can typically be useful for C code in case the coding convention dictates that all compound types are typedef'ed and only the typedef is referenced, never the tag name. ]]> ... \ref cmdendif "\\endif" and \ref cmdcond "\\cond" \ ... \ref cmdendcond "\\endcond" blocks. ]]> 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 program writes to standard output is used as the file version. ]]> 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 $1 | sed -n 's/^[ A-Z?\*|!]\{1,15\}/r/;s/ \{1,15\}/\/r/;s/ .*//p' \endverbatim
Example filter for ClearCase: \verbatim FILE_VERSION_INFO = "cleartool desc -fmt \%Vn" \endverbatim ]]> Note that if you run doxygen from a directory containing a file called \c DoxygenLayout.xml, doxygen will parse it automatically even if the \c LAYOUT_FILE tag is left empty. ]]> .bib files. The .bib extension is automatically appended if omitted. This requires the \c bibtex tool to be installed. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX for more info. For \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ the style of the bibliography can be controlled using \ref cfg_latex_bib_style "LATEX_BIB_STYLE". To use this feature you need \c bibtex and \c perl available in the search path. Do not use file names with spaces, \c bibtex cannot handle them. See also \ref cmdcite "\\cite" for info how to create references. ]]> \b Tip: Turn warnings on while writing the documentation. ]]> \$file, \$line, and \$text tags, which will be replaced by the file and line number from which the warning originated and the warning text. Optionally the format may contain $version, which will be replaced by the version of the file (if it could be obtained via \ref cfg_file_version_filter "FILE_VERSION_FILTER") ]]> the libiconv documentation for the list of possible encodings. ]]> Note that relative paths are relative to the directory from which doxygen is run. ]]> Note that the wildcards are matched against the file with absolute path, so to exclude all test directories for example use the pattern `*``/test/``*` ]]> Note that the wildcards are matched against the file with absolute path, so to exclude all test directories use the pattern `*``/test/``*` ]]> popen()) the command:
\ \
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. If \ref cfg_filter_patterns "FILTER_PATTERNS" is specified, this tag will be ignored.
Note that the filter must not add or remove lines; it is applied before the code is scanned, but not when the output code is generated. If lines are added or removed, the anchors will not be placed correctly. ]]> Note: To get rid of all source code in the generated output, make sure that also \ref cfg_verbatim_headers "VERBATIM_HEADERS" is set to \c NO. ]]> To use it do the following: -# Install the latest version of \c global -# Enable \ref cfg_source_browser "SOURCE_BROWSER" and \c USE_HTAGS in the config file -# Make sure the \ref cfg_input "INPUT" points to the root of the source tree -# Run \c doxygen as normal
Doxygen will invoke \c htags (and that will in turn invoke \c 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 \c htags. ]]> clang parser for more accurate parsing at the cost of reduced performance. This can be particularly helpful with template rich C++ code for which doxygen's built-in parser lacks the necessary type information. @note The availability of this option depends on whether or not doxygen was compiled with the `--with-libclang` option. ]]> .htm, .php, .asp). ]]> To get valid HTML the header file that includes any scripts and style sheets that doxygen needs, which is dependent on the configuration options used (e.g. the setting \ref cfg_generate_treeview "GENERATE_TREEVIEW").

See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate the default header that doxygen normally uses. @note The header is subject to change so you typically have to regenerate the default header when upgrading to a newer version of doxygen. ]]>
