[Doxygen-users] Config file diff

[Fabian C. <Cen...@in...>]

Hi

Maybe I'm imagining things but I had the impression that
there is a command line switch that would let doxygen
print the changes in the given config file compared to the
default as generated by -g. Something like

diff (doxygen -g) MyDoxyFile

But I don't see anything in the --help output nor on the
doxygen website. Is this an undocumented parameter?
Or wishful thinking?

Thanks

bye  Fabi

Hi Fabian,

Doxygen has the possibility to write the output to the terminal: doxygenb
-g -
like is written in the help  when issueing doxygen --help:
1) Use doxygen to generate a template configuration file:
    doxygen [-s] -g [configName]

    If - is used for configName doxygen will write to standard output.


The diff command would also be a bit different, more like:
doxygen -g - | diff - Doxyfile

I know these switches but I had the impression that there is a
doxygen switch that also does the diff. That could be useful for
e.g. mailinglists to not have to send the whole config file but
only the necessary changes. Especially on Windows where
a command line diff is not readily available.

Fabian,

There is, to the best of my knowledge, no such switch. There is the option
-s which only outputs the options and some comment, but you are probably
not hinting at this option.

Best Regards,

Albert
