Usage
For each CMake function or variable that you would like to document, prepend it
with a block doc-comment. A block doc-comment begins with #[[[
and ends
with #]]
.
Then run cminx
on your CMake files, outputting to a directory of your
choosing. The help text is printed below for reference:
usage: cminx [-h] [-o OUTPUT.DIRECTORY] [-r] [-p RST.PREFIX] [-s SETTINGS]
[-e INPUT.EXCLUDE_FILTERS] [--version]
files [files ...]
Automatic documentation generator for CMake files. This program generates
Sphinx-compatible RST documents, which are incompatible with standard
docutils. Config files are searched for according to operating-system-
dependent directories, such as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cminx on Linux. Additional
config files can be specified with the -s option.
positional arguments:
files CMake file to generate documentation for. If
directory, will generate documentation for all *.cmake
files (case-insensitive)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o OUTPUT.DIRECTORY, --output OUTPUT.DIRECTORY
Directory to output generated RST to. If not specified
will print to standard output. Output files will have
the original filename with the cmake extension
replaced by .rst
-r, --recursive If specified, will generate documentation for all
subdirectories of specified directory recursively. If
the prefix is not specified, it will be set to the
last element of the input path.
-p RST.PREFIX, --prefix RST.PREFIX
If specified, all output files will have headers
generated as if the prefix was the top level package.
-s SETTINGS, --settings SETTINGS
Load settings from the specified YAML file. Parameters
specified by this file will override defaults, and
command-line arguments will override both.
-e INPUT.EXCLUDE_FILTERS, --exclude INPUT.EXCLUDE_FILTERS
Exclude some files from documentation. Supports shell-
style glob syntax, relative paths are resolved with
respect to the current working directory.
--version show program's version number and exit
