Introduction

Doxygen is a documentation system for C, C++ and IDL. It can generate an on-line class browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in ) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating man pages and for converting the generated output into Postscript, hyperlinked PDF or compressed HTML. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources. Doxygen is developed on Linux, but it runs on most other UNIX flavors as well. An executable for Windows 9x/NT is also available.

Doxygen can also be configured to extract the code-structure from undocumented source files. This can be very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions.

You can even `abuse' doxygen for creating normal documentation (as I did for this manual).

This manual is divided into two parts, each of which is divided into several sections.

The first part forms a user manual:

The second part forms a reference manual:

Projects using doxygen

I have compiled a small list of projects that use doxygen If you know other projects, let me know and I'll add them.

Future work

Although doxygen is used successfully by a lot of people already, there is always room for improvement. Therefore, I have compiled a todo/wish list of possible and/or requested enhancements.
