VTKWRAPHIERARCHY-9.6(1)

💖 vtkWrapHierarchy-9.6 — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is vtkWrapHierarchy-9.6, a User Commands classic (section 1, so you know it's a real one). It's the little tool that builds a class hierarchy out of C++ header files, and it does that specifically for VTK wrapping. Basically: you feed it headers, it goes "okay so who inherits from who", and hands that back so the wrappers can do their thing. iconic behaviour tbh 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

vtkWrapHierarchy-9.6 — builds a class hierarchy from C++ header files, for VTK wrapping. no cap, that's the whole job.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vtkWrapHierarchy-9.6 [options] infile...

so it's your options, then one or more input files (infile... — that ... means "give me as many as you want, queen"). 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the whole vibe of what it takes. every single flag, in order, zero skips:

• --help — prints this help message. the "hiii what do you need" flag 💖
• --version — prints the VTK version. for when you gotta know exactly which VTK you're living in.
• -o <file> — the output file. this is where the class hierarchy goes. if you don't say, don't be surprised when it's nowhere 👀
• -I <dir> — add an include directory. tell it where to go looking for headers.
• -D <macro[=def]> — define a preprocessor macro. optionally with a definition attached after the =.
• -U <macro> — undefine a preprocessor macro. the anti--D. balance ✨
• -imacros <file> — read macros from a header file. macro snacks, sourced from a file.
• -MF <file> — write dependency information to a file. receipts, basically 🧾
• -undef — do not predefine platform macros. hands-off mode for the platform stuff.
• -Wempty — warn when nothing is wrapped. the "bestie… there's nothing here" warning 🔥
• -Wno-empty — do not warn when nothing is wrapped. same silence, chosen on purpose.
• @ <file> — read arguments from a file. yes, an at-sign, yes it's a whole args file, we love a shortcut 🫶

fr fr, that @<file> one is doing a lot of work — it's how you dump a pile of arguments into a file and just point at it instead of typing forever.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this one's from VTK 9.6, dated October 2025, and it lives in the User Commands section — so like, VTKWRAPHIERARCHY-9.6(1) energy all the way. now go wrap some hierarchies, you absolute main character 👑💅
