VTKWRAPPYTHON-9.6(1)

💖 vtkWrapPython-9.6 — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, we're looking at a page from the User Commands section of the manual — it's vtkWrapPython-9.6(1), and yes the 9.6 is doing a lot of work in that name, she's very specific about her version 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

vtkWrapPython-9.6 — generates Python wrapper code from VTK C++ header files 🐍✨

like. that's the whole job. it takes your C++ headers and makes Python wrappers out of them. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vtkWrapPython-9.6 [options] infile...

so you give her some infile files, sprinkle in some options, and off she goes 🦋

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

ngl, this section is basically just the option menu — every flag, every argument, all of it, no skips. here we go, bestie 🫶

also important: --help and --version are listed right here in the description, so don't be out here expecting them in some separate section. this is the whole vibe.

• --help — prints this help message. that's it, that's the whole thing, she's helpful 💖
• --version — prints the VTK version. so you know which VTK you're dealing with.
• -o <file> — the output file. where the generated stuff goes ✨
• -I <dir> — add an include directory. so she can find things.
• -D <macro[=def]> — define a preprocessor macro. and yeah, the =def part is optional-optional, you can give a definition or not 🎀
• -U <macro> — undefine a preprocessor macro. bye macro 💀
• -imacros <file> — read macros from a header file.
• -MF <file> — write dependency information to a file. receipts, basically 🧾
• -undef — do not predefine platform macros. she's gonna go in raw, no defaults.
• -Wempty — warn when nothing is wrapped. so if she comes up empty, she'll tell you 😭
• -Wno-empty — do not warn when nothing is wrapped. the opposite. the silence option 🙈
• @<file> — read arguments from a file. a little indirect, a little mysterious, we love her 🌈
• -dM — dump all macro definitions to output. yes, all of them.
• --hints <file> — the hints file to use.
• --types <file> — the type hierarchy file to use.
