VTKPARSEJAVA-9.6(1)

💖 NAME 💖

vtkParseJava-9.6 — bestie, this one parses C++ headers so that Java wrappers can get generated later. it's giving "translator friend who reads the scary C++ so the Java side doesn't have to." no cap. ✨

this page lives in section 1 of the User Commands manual, so it's a command, not a config file, not a library function — a whole executable that you actually run. 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vtkParseJava-9.6 [options] infile...

so the vibe is: command name, then as many options as your heart desires, then one or more input files at the end. the ... after infile is not decorative, it literally means more than one file is allowed. slay. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so lowkey the DESCRIPTION here is just... the flag list. iconic honestly. here's every single one, exactly as written, nothing skipped, nothing merged, nothing invented. 🎀

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• --help — prints this help message. yes queen, the help text tells you about the help flag. recursion but make it cute.
• --version — prints the VTK version. one line of pure truth. 👑
• -o <file> — the output file. this is where the good stuff goes.
• -I <dir> — add an include directory. point it at the place where all the headers live.
• **-D <macro[=def]>** — define a preprocessor macro. the =def` part is optional, so you can define it bare or give it a value.
• -U <macro> — undefine a preprocessor macro. the anti--D. balance. 🌈
• -imacros <file> — read macros from a header file. like a little macro snack. 🍓
• -MF <file> — write dependency information to a file. receipts, but for dependencies.
• -undef — do not predefine platform macros. sometimes you want a clean slate, and that's valid.
• -Wempty — warn when nothing is wrapped.
• -Wno-empty — do not warn when nothing is wrapped. the direct opposite, and honestly sometimes you just wanna wrap in peace. 🙈
• @<file> — read arguments from a file. your options, but stored in a file, which is highkey a serve for long invocations.
• -dM — dump all macro definitions to output. ALL of them. no filter. 💀
• --hints <file> — the hints file to use.
• --types <file> — the type hierarchy file to use.

bestie reminder 💖 — copy every flag exactly, character for character. these are not vibes, they're arguments, and one wrong letter is a whole different thing. periodt.
