I have just run Doxygen from the command line and am unsure where it put it... It doesn't show up in the directory I ran it from
Is there an easy way to find it?
A configuration file is a free-form ASCII text file with a structure that is similar to that of a Makefile , with the default name Doxyfile . It is parsed by doxygen . The file may contain tabs and newlines for formatting purposes.
Doxygen (/ˈdɒksidʒən/ DOK-see-jən) is a documentation generator and static analysis tool for software source trees. When used as a documentation generator, Doxygen extracts information from specially-formatted comments within the code.
You can run doxygen from the command line as long as you have a configuration file to use. However, it is often more convenient to run the Doxygen Wizard – this is a GUI that helps you create a Doxygen configuration file and then runs Doxygen for you.
From the Doxygen manual:
The default output directory is the directory in which doxygen is started. The root directory to which the output is written can be changed using the OUTPUT_DIRECTORY. The format specific directory within the output directory can be selected using the HTML_OUTPUT, RTF_OUTPUT, LATEX_OUTPUT, XML_OUTPUT, and MAN_OUTPUT tags of the configuration file. If the output directory does not exist, doxygen will try to create it for you (but it will not try to create a whole path recursively, like mkdir -p does).
If you are having some problems getting it to do what you want use doxywizard it makes writing the configuration file much easier.
