👑 PYBIND_DOCS — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, this is the manual for pybind_docs, living in the User Commands section of the manual, version 1.39.5. it's giving "I extract your Doxygen docs and shove them into your pybind11 bindings" and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pybind_docs — manual page for pybind_docs 1.39.5 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the whole vibe, the usage line, exactly as the tool wants it:

usage: pybind_docs [-h] [-d DOXYGEN_XML_DIR] [-p PYBIND_DIR] [-f] [-j]

so what does it actually do, bestie? it extracts Doxygen docs and inserts them into pybind11 bindings. that's the whole job. (and yes, the original calls it "simplified" — that's literally in the name of the description, so I'm keeping it fr fr 🌈)

💖 OPTIONS 💖

every single flag, no skips, no cap:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips out. exit, periodt. 🦋
  • -d, --doxygen_xml_dir DOXYGEN_XML_DIR — the path to your Doxygen XML output directory. point it at where the XML lives, bestie. 📁
  • -p, --pybind_dir PYBIND_DIR — the path to your pybind11 bindings directory. that's where the magic gets inserted. ✨
  • -f, --force — force replace existing docstrings. as in, it will absolutely overwrite what's already there. 💀
  • -j, --write_json — write the extracted docs out to JSON files. because sometimes you want the receipts in JSON form. 🍓
heads up queen: -f means what it means. it forces replacement of your existing docstrings. no take-backs, no undo button, so know what you're doing before you send it 🔥

that's the whole page, no filler, no fluff, every option accounted for 💜
