).
All commands in the documentation start with a backslash (\) or an at-sign (@). If you prefer you can replace all commands starting with a backslash below, by their counterparts that start with an at-sign.
Some commands have one or more arguments. Each argument has a certain range:
Here is an alphabetically sorted list of all commands with references to their documentation:
The following subsections provide a list of all commands that are recognized by doxygen. Unrecognized commands are treated as normal text.
\addtogroup <name> [(title)]
Defines a group just like \defgroup, but in contrast to that command using the same <name> more than once will not result in a warning, but rather one group with a merged documentation and the first title found in any of the commands.
The title is optional, so this command can also be used to add a number of entities to an existing group using @{ and @} like this:
/*! \addtogroup mygrp
* Additional documentation for group `mygrp'
* @{
*/
/*!
* A function
*/
void func1()
{
}
/*! Another function */
void func2()
{
}
/*! @} */
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a class with name <name>. Optionally a header file and a header name can be specified. If the header-file is specified, a link to a verbatim copy of the header will be included in the HTML documentation. The <header-name> argument can be used to overwrite the name of the link that is used in the class documentation to something other than <header-file>. This can be useful if the include name is not located on the default include path (like <X11/X.h>). With the <header-name> argument you can also specify how the include statement should look like, by adding either quotes or sharp brackets around the name. Sharp brackets are used if just the name is given.
/* A dummy class */
class Test
{
}
/*! \class Test class.h "inc/class.h"
* \brief This is a test class.
*
* Some details about the Test class
*/
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a #define macro.
/*! \file define.h
\brief testing defines
This is to test the documentation of defines.
*/
/*!
\def MAX(x,y)
Computes the maximum of \a x and \a y.
*/
/*!
Computes the absolute value of its argument \a x.
*/
#define ABS(x) (((x)>0)?(x):-(x))
#define MAX(x,y) ((x)>(y)?(x):(y))
#define MIN(x,y) ((x)>(y)?(y):(x)) /*!< Computes the minimum of \a x and \a y. */
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a group of classes, files or namespaces. This can be used to categorize classes, files or namespaces, and document those categories. You can also use groups as members of other groups, thus building a hierarchy of groups.
The <name> argument should be a single-word identifier.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for an enumeration, with name <name>. If the enum is a member of a class and the documentation block is located outside the class definition, the scope of the class should be specified as well. If a comment block is located directly in front of an enum declaration, the \enum comment may be omitted.
class Test
{
public:
enum TEnum { Val1, Val2 };
};
/*! \class Test
* The class description.
*/
/*! \enum Test::TEnum
* A description of the enum type.
*/
/*! \var Test::TEnum Test::Val1
* The description of the first enum value.
*/
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a source code example. The name of the source file is <file-name>. The text of this file will be included in the documentation, just after the documentation contained in the comment block. All examples are placed in a list. The source code is scanned for documented members and classes. If any are found, the names are cross-referenced with the documentation. Source files or directories can be specified using the EXAMPLE_PATH tag of doxygen's configuration file.
If <file-name> itself is not unique for the set of example files specified by the EXAMPLE_PATH tag, you can include part of the absolute path to disambiguate it.
If more that one source file is needed for the example, the \include command can be used.
/** A Test class.
* More details about this class.
*/
class Test
{
public:
/** An example member function.
* More details about this function.
*/
void example();
};
void Test::example() {}
/** \example example_test.cpp
* This is an example of how to use the Test class.
* More details about this example.
*/
example_test.cpp looks as follows: void main()
{
Test t;
t.example();
}
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a source or header file with name <name>. The file name may include (part of) the path if the file-name alone is not unique. If the file name is omitted (i.e. the line after \file is left blank) then the documentation block that contains the \file command will belong to the file it is located in.
/** \file file.h * A brief file description. * A more elaborated file description. */ /** * A global integer value. * More details about this value. */ extern int globalValue;
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a function (either global or as a member of a class). This command is needed if a comment block is not placed in front of the function declaration or definition. If your comment block is in front of the function declaration or definition this command can (and to avoid redundancy should) be ommitted.
A full function declaration should be specified after the \fn command. The argument ends at the end of the line.
class Test
{
public:
const char *member(char,int) throw(std::out_of_range);
};
const char *Test::member(char c,int n) throw(std::out_of_range) {}
/*! \class Test
* \brief Test class.
*
* Details about Test.
*/
/*! \fn const char *Test::member(char c,int n)
* \brief A member function.
* \param c a character.
* \param n an integer.
* \exception std::out_of_range parameter is out of range.
* \return a character pointer.
*/
By default the value of a define and the initializer of a variable are displayed unless they are longer than 30 lines. By putting this command in a comment block of a define or variable, the initializer is always hidden.
If the \ingroup command is placed in a comment block of a class, file or namespace, then it will be added to the group or groups identified by <groupname>.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for an interface with name <name>. The arguments are equal to the \class command.
This command writes the message `For internal use only' to the output and all text after a \\internal command is ignored. You can use INTERNAL_DOCS in the config file to show or hide the internal documentation.
If the \mainpage command is placed in a comment block the block is used to customize the index page (in HTML) or the first chapter (in
).
The title argument is optional and replaces the default title that doxygen normally generates.
Here is an example:
/*! \mainpage My Personal Index Page * * \section intro Introduction * * This is the introduction. * * \section install Installation * * \subsection step1 Step 1: Opening the box * * etc... */
You can refer to the main page using \ref index.
This command turns a comment block into a header definition of a member group. The comment block should be followed by a //@{ ... //@} block containing the members of the group.
See section Member Groups for an example.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a namespace with name <name>.
This command can be put in the documentation of a class. It can be used in combination with member grouping to avoid that doxygen puts a member group as a subgroup of a Public/Protected/Private/... section.
This command can be used to generate the following standard text for an overloaded member function:
`This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.'
If the documentation for the overloaded member function is not located in front of the function declaration or definition, the optional argument should be used to specify the correct function.
Any other documentation that is inside the documentation block will by appended after the generated message.
class Test
{
public:
void drawRect(int,int,int,int);
void drawRect(const Rect &r);
};
void Test::drawRect(int x,int y,int w,int h) {}
void Test::drawRect(const Rect &r) {}
/*! \class Test
* \brief A short description.
*
* More text.
*/
/*! \fn void Test::drawRect(int x,int y,int w,int h)
* This command draws a rectangle with a left upper corner at ( \a x , \a y ),
* width \a w and height \a h.
*/
/*!
* \overload void Test::drawRect(const Rect &r)
*/
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a Java package with name <name>.
Indicates that a comment block contains a piece of documentation that is not directly related to one specific class, file or member. The HTML generator creates a page containing the documentation. The
generator starts a new section in the chapter `Page documentation'.
/*! \page page1 A documentation page This page contains the subsections \ref subsection1 and \ref subsection2. For more info see section \ref page2. \subsection subsection1 The first subsection Text. \subsection subsection2 The second subsection More text. */ /*! \page page2 Another page Even more info. */
MYPAGE1), or mixed case letters (e.g. MyPage1) in the <name> argument, you should set CASE_SENSE_NAMES to YES. However, this is advisable only if your file system is case sensitive. Otherwise (and for better portability) you should use all lower case letters (e.g. mypage1) for <name> in all references to the page.This command can be used in the documentation of a non-member function <name>. It puts the function inside the `related function' section of the class documentation. This command is useful for documenting non-friend functions that are nevertheless strongly coupled to a certain class. It prevents the need of having to document a file, but only works for functions.
/*!
* A String class.
*/
class String
{
friend int strcmp(const String &,const String &);
};
/*!
* Compares two strings.
*/
int strcmp(const String &s1,const String &s2)
{
}
/*! \relates String
* A string debug function.
*/
void stringDebug()
{
}
By default the value of a define and the initializer of a variable are only displayed if they are less than 30 lines long. By putting this command in a comment block of a define or variable, the initializer is shown unconditionally.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a struct with name <name>. The arguments are equal to the \class command.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a typedef (either global or as a member of a class). This command is equivalent to \var and \fn.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a union with name <name>. The arguments are equal to the \class command.
Indicates that a comment block contains documentation for a variable or enum value (either global or as a member of a class). This command is equivalent to \typedef and \fn.
Starts a paragraph where a message that needs attention may be entered. The paragraph will be indented. The text of the paragraph has no special internal structure.

This command adds (text) to the
index.
This command places an invisible, named anchor into the documentation to which you can refer with the \ref command.
This command ends a link that is started with the \link command.
The links that are automatically generated by doxygen always have the name of the object they point to as link-text.
The \link command can be used to create a link to an object (a file, class, or member) with a user specified link-text. The link command should end with an \endlink command. All text between the \link and \endlink commands serves as text for a link to the <link-object> specified as the first argument of \link.
See section autolink for more information on automatically generated links and valid link-objects.
Creates a reference to a named section, subsection, page or anchor. For HTML documentation the reference command will generate a link to the section. For a sections or subsections the title of the section will be used as the text of the link. For anchor the optional text between quotes will be used or <name> if no text is specified. For
documentation the reference command will generate a section number for sections or the text followed by a page number if <name> refers to an anchor.
Creates a section with name <section-name>. The title of the section should be specified as the second argument of the \section command.
Creates a subsection with name <subsection-name>. The title of the subsection should be specified as the second argument of the \subsection command.
This command can be used to parse a source file without actually verbatim including it in the documentation (as the \include command does). This is useful if you want to divide the source file into smaller pieces and add documentation between the pieces. Source files or directories can be specified using the EXAMPLE_PATH tag of doxygen's configuration file.
The class and member declarations and definitions inside the code fragment are `remembered' during the parsing of the comment block that contained the \dontinclude command.
For line by line descriptions of source files, one or more lines of the example can be displayed using the \line, \skip, \skipline, and \until commands. An internal pointer is used for these commands. The \dontinclude command sets the pointer to the first line of the example.
/*! A test class. */
class Test
{
public:
/// a member function
void example();
};
/*! \page example
* \dontinclude example_test.cpp
* Our main function starts like this:
* \skip main
* \until {
* First we create a object \c t of the Test class.
* \skipline Test
* Then we call the example member function
* \line example
* After that our little test routine ends.
* \line }
*/
example_test.cpp looks as follows: void main()
{
Test t;
t.example();
}
This command can be used to include a source file as a block of code. The command takes the name of an include file as an argument. Source files or directories can be specified using the EXAMPLE_PATH tag of doxygen's configuration file.
If <file-name> itself is not unique for the set of example files specified by the EXAMPLE_PATH tag, you can include part of the absolute path to disambiguate it.
Using the \include command is equivalent to inserting the file into the documentation block and surrounding it with \code and \endcode commands.
The main purpose of the \include command is to avoid code duplication in case of example blocks that consist of multiple source and header files.
For a line by line description of a source files use the \dontinclude command in combination with the \line, \skip, \skipline, and \until commands.
This command searches line by line through the example that was last included using \include or \dontinclude until it finds a non-blank line. If that line contains the specified pattern, it is written to the output.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in the example, is set to the start of the line following the non-blank line that was found (or to the end of the example if no such line could be found).
See section \dontinclude for an example.
This command searches line by line through the example that was last included using \include or \dontinclude until it finds a line that contains the specified pattern.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in the example, is set to the start of the line that contains the specified pattern (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
See section \dontinclude for an example.
This command searches line by line through the example that was last included using \include or \dontinclude until it finds a line that contains the specified pattern. It then writes the line to the output.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in the example, is set to the start of the line following the line that is written (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
\skipline pattern
\skip pattern \line pattern
This command writes all lines of the example that was last included using \include or \dontinclude to the output, until it finds a line containing the specified pattern. The line containing the pattern will be written as well.
The internal pointer that is used to keep track of the current line in the example, is set to the start of the line following last written line (or to the end of the example if the pattern could not be found).
See section \dontinclude for an example.
This command includes the file <file-name> verbatim in the documentation. The command is equivalent to pasting the file in the documentation and placing \verbatim and \endverbatim commands around it.
Files or directories that doxygen should look for can be specified using the EXAMPLE_PATH tag of doxygen's configuration file.
This command includes the file <file-name> as is in the HTML documentation. The command is equivalent to pasting the file in the documentation and placing \htmlonly and \endhtmlonly commands around it.
Files or directories that doxygen should look for can be specified using the EXAMPLE_PATH tag of doxygen's configuration file.
Displays the argument <word> using a special font. Use this command to refer to member arguments in the running text.
... the \a x and \a y coordinates are used to ...
This command has one argument that continues until the first blank line or until another \arg is encountered. The command can be used to generate a simple, not nested list of arguments. Each argument should start with a \arg command.
\arg \c AlignLeft left alignment. \arg \c AlignCenter center alignment. \arg \c AlignRight right alignment No other types of alignment are supported.
AlignLeft left alignment. AlignCenter center alignment. AlignRight right alignment
Displays the argument <word> using a bold font. Equivalent to <b>word</b>. To put multiple words in bold use <b>multiple words</b>.
Displays the argument <word> using a typewriter font. Use this to refer to a word of code. Equivalent to <tt>word</tt>.
... This function returns \c void and not \c int ...
void and not int ...
Starts a block of code. A code block is treated differently from ordinary text. It is interpreted as C/C++ code. The names of the classes and members that are documented are automatically replaced by links to the documentation.
Inserts an image generated by dot from <file> into the documentation.
The first argument specifies the file name of the image. doxygen will look for files in the paths (or files) that you specified after the DOTFILE_DIRS tag. If the dot file is found it will be used as an input file to the dot tool. The resulting image will be put into the correct output directory. If the dot file name contains spaces you'll have to put quotes (") around it.
The second argument is optional and can be used to specify the caption that is displayed below the image. This argument has to be specified between quotes even if it does not contain any spaces. The quotes are stripped before the caption is displayed.
Displays the argument <word> in italics. Use this command to emphasize words.
... this is a \e really good example ...
Displays the argument <word> in italics. Use this command to emphasize words.
... this is a \em really good example ...
Ends a block of code.
Ends a block of text that was started with a \htmlonly command.
Ends a block of text that was started with a \latexonly command.
Ends a block of text that was started with a \verbatim command.
Marks the start and end of an in-text formula.
Marks the start of a long formula that is displayed centered on a separate line.
Marks the end of a long formula that is displayed centered on a separate line.
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the generated HTML documentation only. The block ends with a endhtmlonly command.
This command can be used to include HTML code that is too complex for doxygen (i.e. applets, java-scripts, and HTML tags that require attributes). You can use the \latexonly and \endlatexonly pair to provide a proper
alternative.
Note: environment variables (like $(HOME) ) are resolved inside a HTML-only block.
Inserts an image into the documentation. This command is format specific, so if you want to insert an image for more than one format you'll have to repeat this command for each format.
The first argument specifies the output format. Currently, the following values are supported: html and latex.
The second argument specifies the file name of the image. doxygen will look for files in the paths (or files) that you specified after the IMAGE_PATH tag. If the image is found it will be copied to the correct output directory. If the image name contains spaces you'll have to put quotes (") around it. You can also specify an absolute URL instead of a file name, but then doxygen does not copy the image nor check its existance.
The third argument is optional and can be used to specify the caption that is displayed below the image. This argument has to be specified between quotes even if it does not contain any spaces. The quotes are stripped before the caption is displayed.
The fourth argument is also optional and can be used to specify the width or height of the image. This is only useful for
output (i.e. format=latex). The sizeindication can be either width or height. The size should be a valid size specifier in
(for example 10cm or 6in or a symbolic width like \textwidth).
Here is example of a comment block:
/*! Here is a snapshot of my new application: * \image html application.jpg * \image latex application.eps "My application" width=10cm */
And this is an example of how the relevant part of the configuration file may look:
IMAGE_PATH = my_image_dir
the image format must be Encapsulated PostScript (eps).
Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in the generated
documentation only. The block ends with a endlatexonly command.
This command can be used to include
code that is too complex for doxygen (i.e. images, formulas, special characters). You can use the \htmlonly and \endhtmlonly pair to provide a proper HTML alternative.
Note: environment variables (like $(HOME) ) are resolved inside a
-only block.
This command has one argument that continues until the first blank line or until another \li is encountered. The command can be used to generate a simple, not nested list of arguments. Each argument should start with a \li command.
\li \c AlignLeft left alignment. \li \c AlignCenter center alignment. \li \c AlignRight right alignment No other types of alignment are supported.
AlignLeft left alignment. AlignCenter center alignment. AlignRight right alignment
Displays the parameter <word> using a typewriter font. You can use this command to refer to member function parameters in the running text.

Starts a block of text that will be verbatim included in both the HTML and the
documentation. The block should end with a \endverbatim block. All commands are disabled in a verbatim block.
This command writes a backslash character (\) to the HTML and
output. The backslash has to be escaped in some cases because doxygen uses it to detect commands.
This command writes an at-sign (@) to the HTML and
output. The at-sign has to be escaped in some cases because doxygen uses it to detect JavaDoc commands.
OUTPUT_LANGUAGE tag to filter out only a specific language. Use \~language_id to enable output for a specific language only and \~ to enable output for all languages (this is also the default mode).
Example:
/*! \~english This is english \~dutch Dit is Nederlands \~german Dieses ist
deutsch. \~ output for all languages.
*/
This command writes the & character to the HTML and
output. This character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
This command writes the $ character to the HTML and
output. This character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used to expand environment variables.
This command writes the # character to the HTML and
output. This character has to be escaped in some cases, because it is used to refer to documented entities.
This command writes the < character to the HTML and
output. This character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
This command writes the > character to the HTML and
output. This character has to be escaped because it has a special meaning in HTML.
The following commands are supported to remain compatible to the Qt class browser generator. Do not use these commands in your own documentation.
