💖 DH_DOXYGEN 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a tiny little helper with main character energy 🎀 it's dh_doxygen, and it helps with packaging doxygen-generated documentation. that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, slay ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dh_doxygen [debhelper options] [-Xitem] [directory...]

look at her. so simple. so iconic 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so dh_doxygen is a debhelper program, and what it does is prepare doxygen-generated documentation for inclusion in a Debian package. no cap, that's literally the job description 🫶

and more specifically? bestie, here's the tea:

  • it removes *.md5 and *.map files. those lil guys are created by doxygen to speed up incremental runs, so they're just clutter in your package. bye bye 👋

that's it. that's the whole list. one bullet. we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • directory — okay so by default, dh_doxygen just scans your package, hunting around for directories that look like they contain doxygen-generated documentation 👀 it finds them itself, no help needed. but — if you explicitly hand it one or more directories, then only those get processed. you're the boss, bestie, it'll respect your choices 💅
  • -Xitem, --exclude=item — this one excludes files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being symlinked, removed, or checked for existence. three whole things it's opting out of. she said "not today" and honestly? valid 🙈

💀 BUGS 💀

Probably.

(that's it. that's the whole bug report. the driest, most unbothered sentence you've ever read and i am obsessed with it 😭)

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

also important: this program is meant to be used together with debhelper. they're a package deal, a duo, a bestie situation 🫶✨
