       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]

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.

       -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.
