NAME

       sip - generates C++/Python bindings

SYNOPSIS

       sip  [-h]  [-V]  [-a file] [-c dir] [-d file] [-e] [-g] [-I dir] [-j #] [-k] [-m file] [-o] [-p module] [-P] [-r] [-s suffix] [-t tag] [-w]
       [-x feature] [-z file] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       sip takes a set of specification files and generates C++ code, documentation and build files.

       The format of the needed specification file is similar to a C++ header.  sip includes run-time support for the generated code.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -V     Display the sip version number

       -a file
              The name of the QScintilla API file. If not indicated, it will not be generated.

       -b file
              The name of the build file. If not indicated, it will not be generated.

       -c dir The name of the directory where generated source file will be put.  If not indicated, no code will be generated.

       -d file
              The name of the documentation file. If not indicated, no documentation will be generated.

       -e     Enable support for exceptions. Disabled by default.

       -I dir Directory where sip can search for included files.

       -j number
              Splits the generated code in number files (1 by default). This flag was added for parallel compilation on SMP machines.

       -w     Enable warning messages

       -x feature
              Disable a feature

       -z file
