doxygen - documentation system for various programming languages

Doxygen is a documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C#, and D.

You can use doxygen in a number of ways:

1) Use doxygen to generate a template configuration file:
doxygen [-s] -g [configName]
If - is used for configName doxygen will write to standard output.
2) Use doxygen to update an old configuration file:
doxygen [-s] -u [configName]
3) Use doxygen to generate documentation using an existing configuration file:
doxygen [configName]
If - is used for configName doxygen will read from standard input.
4) Use doxygen to generate a template style sheet file for RTF, HTML or Latex.
RTF:: doxygen -w rtf styleSheetFile
HTML:: doxygen -w html headerFile footerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
LaTeX: doxygen -w latex headerFile styleSheetFile [configFile]
5) Use doxygen to generate an rtf extensions file
RTF:: doxygen -e rtf extensionsFile

If -s is specified the comments in the config file will be omitted. If configName is omitted 'Doxyfile' will be used as a default.
