NAME

       mxmldoc - mini-xml documentation generator

SYNOPSIS

       mxmldoc --no-output [ filename.xml ] source file(s) ]
       mxmldoc	[  --footer  footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ filename.xml ] [
       source file(s) ] > filename.html
       mxmldoc [ --footer footerfile ] [ --framed basename ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ]
       [ filename.xml ] [ source file(s) ]
       mxmldoc --man manpage [ --footer footerfile ] [ --header headerfile ] [ --intro introfile ] [ --section section ] [ --title title ] [ file-
       name.xml ] [ source file(s) ] > filename.man

DESCRIPTION

       mxmldoc scans the specified C and C++ source files to produce an XML representation of globally	accessible  classes,  constants,  enumera-
       tions,  functions, structures, typedefs, unions, and variables - the XML file is updated as necessary. By default, a HTML representation of
       the XML file is written to the standard output.	Use the --no-output option to disable the HTML output.

       Man page source can be generated using the --man option.

       If no source files are specified then the current XML file is converted to the standard output.

       In general, any C or C++ source code is handled by mxmldoc, however it was specifically written to handle code with documentation  that	is
       formatted according to the CUPS Developer Guide which is available at "http://www.cups.org/documentation.php".

OPTIONS

       --footer footerfile
	    Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the output documentation.

       --framed basename
	    Created HTML documentation using frames - one for the table-of-contents and one for the body.

       --header headerfile
	    Inserts the specified file at the top of the output documentation.

       --intro introfile
	    Inserts the specified file before the table of contents.

       --man manpage
	    Generated a man page instead of HTML documentation.

       --no-output
	    Disables generation of documentation on the standard output.

       --section section
	    Sets the section/keywords in the output documentation.

       --title title
	    Sets the title of the output documentation.
