Ignoring files in project folder for Doxygen

Question

How can you ignore files by Doxygen similarly as by Git's .git/info/exclude?

Doxygen generates docs for me based on 3rd party codes such Email -component and of my Git -repo, which I do not want. I need to keep the files where they are.

Answer 1

You can use the EXCLUDE_PATTERNS tag in the configuration file:

EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = */test/*
