[Doxygen-users] How to prevent trivial man pages being generated?

[Mark <dox...@er...>]

Hi,

I use Doxygen to generate man pages for a library with a c API. Unfortunately it generates a vast number of man pages including a man page for each field in structures used in the API. Since these fields tend to have generic names, such as imageFormat, depth or data, these man pages pollute the global man page name space and clearly they should not be installed in man3 on anybody’s system. I do not want to prefix these field names with the name of my library. The structure names are already prefixed. Even if I did, I’m still not uncomfortable installing such man pages. You won’t find a man page for, e.g st_dev, a field in a statbuf struct. You won’t even find a man page for statbuf.

Is there some way to limit Doxygen to generating man pages just for the API functions?

Regards
