4 - Using the mxmldoc Utility
-This chapter describes how to use the mxmldoc(1) utility - that comes with Mini-XML to automatically generate documentation for - your programs.
-The Basics
-The mxmldoc utility scans C and C++ source and header files - and produces an XML file describing the library interface and an XHTML - file providing a human-readable reference to the code. Each source and - header file must conform to some simple code commenting conventions so - that mxmldoc can extract the necessary descriptive text.
-The mxmldoc command requires the name of an XML file to - store the code information; this file is created and updated as - necessary. The XML file is optionally followed by a list of source - files to scan. After scanning any source files on the command-line, -mxmldoc writes XHTML documentation to the standard output, which - can be redirected to the file using the >filename syntax:
-- mxmldoc myfile.xml >myfile.html ENTER - mxmldoc myfile.xml file1.c file2.cxx file3.h >myfile.html ENTER --
If no source files are provided on the command-line, the current - contents of the XML file are converted to XHTML.
-Code Documentation Conventions
-As noted previously, source code must be commented properly for -mxmldoc to generate correct documentation for the code. Single line - comments can use the C++ // comment sequence, however all - multi-line comments must use the C /* ... */ comment sequence.
-Functions and Methods
-All implementations of functions and methods must begin with a - comment header describing what the function does, the possible input - limits (if any), and the possible output values (if any), and any - special information needed, as follows:
-
- /*
- * 'do_this()' - Compute y = this(x).
- *
- * Notes: none.
- */
- float /* O - Inverse power value, 0.0 <= y <= 1.1 */
- do_this(float x) /* I - Power value (0.0 <= x <= 1.1) */
- {
- ...
- return (y);
- }
-
-Return/output values are indicated using an "O" prefix, input values - are indicated using the "I" prefix, and values that are both input and - output use the "IO" prefix for the corresponding in-line comment.
-Variables and Class/Structure/Union Members
-Each variable or member must be declared on a separate line and must - be immediately followed by a comment describing the variable or member, - as follows:
-- int this_variable; /* The current state of this */ - int that_variable; /* The current state of that */ --
Types
-Each type must have a comment block immediately before the typedef, - as follows:
-- /* - * This type is for foobar options. - */ - typedef int this_type_t; -- - -
Classes, Structures, and Unions
-Each class, structure, and union must have a comment block - immediately before the definition, and each member must be documented - in accordance with the function and variable documentation - requirements, as follows:
-
- /*
- * This structure is for foobar options.
- */
- struct this_struct_s
- {
- int this_member; /* Current state for this */
- int that_member; /* Current state for that */
- };
-
- /*
- * This class is for barfoo options.
- */
- class this_class_c
- {
- int this_member; /* Current state for this */
- int that_member; /* Current state for that */
-
- /*
- * 'get_this()' - Get the current state for this.
- */
- int /* O - Current state for this */
- get_this()
- {
- return (this_member);
- }
- };
-
-Enumerations
-Each enumeration must have a comment block immediately before the - definition describing what the enumeration is for, and each enumeration - value must have a comment immediately after the value, as follows:
-
- /*
- * Enumeration of media trays.
- */
- enum this_enum_e
- {
- THIS_TRAY, /* This tray */
- THAT_TRAY /* That tray */
- };
-
+
-XML Schema
-Listing 4-1 shows the XML schema file mxmldoc.xsd which is - included with Mini-XML. This schema file can be used to convert the XML - files produced by mxmldoc into other formats.

4 - Using the mxmldoc -Utility
- -This chapter describes how to use the mxmldoc(1) -utility that comes with Mini-XML to automatically generate -documentation for your programs.
- -The Basics
- -The mxmldoc utility scans C and C++ source and -header files and produces an XML file describing the library -interface and an XHTML file providing a human-readable reference -to the code. Each source and header file must conform to some -simple code commenting conventions so that mxmldoc can -extract the necessary descriptive text.
- -The mxmldoc command requires the name of an XML file -to store the code information; this file is created and updated -as necessary. The XML file is optionally followed by a list of -source files to scan. After scanning any source files on the -command-line, mxmldoc writes XHTML documentation to the -standard output, which can be redirected to the file using the ->filename syntax:
- -- mxmldoc myfile.xml >myfile.html ENTER - mxmldoc myfile.xml file1.c file2.cxx file3.h >myfile.html ENTER -- -
If no source files are provided on the command-line, the -current contents of the XML file are converted to XHTML.
- -Code Documentation Conventions
- -As noted previously, source code must be commented properly -for mxmldoc to generate correct documentation for the -code. Single line comments can use the C++ // comment -sequence, however all multi-line comments must use the C /* -... */ comment sequence.
- -Functions and Methods
- -All implementations of functions and methods must begin with -a comment header describing what the function does, the possible -input limits (if any), and the possible output values (if any), -and any special information needed, as follows:
- -
- /*
- * 'do_this()' - Compute y = this(x).
- *
- * Notes: none.
- */
-
- float /* O - Inverse power value, 0.0 <= y <= 1.1 */
- do_this(float x) /* I - Power value (0.0 <= x <= 1.1) */
- {
- ...
- return (y);
- }
-
-
-Return/output values are indicated using an "O" prefix, input -values are indicated using the "I" prefix, and values that are -both input and output use the "IO" prefix for the corresponding -in-line comment.
- -Variables and Class/Structure/Union Members
- -Each variable or member must be declared on a separate line -and must be immediately followed by a comment describing the -variable or member, as follows:
- -- int this_variable; /* The current state of this */ - int that_variable; /* The current state of that */ -- -
Types
- -Each type must have a comment block immediately before the -typedef, as follows:
- -- /* - * This type is for foobar options. - */ - typedef int this_type_t; -- - -
Classes, Structures, and Unions
- -Each class, structure, and union must have a comment block -immediately before the definition, and each member must be documented -in accordance with the function and variable documentation -requirements, as follows:
- -
- /*
- * This structure is for foobar options.
- */
- struct this_struct_s
- {
- int this_member; /* Current state for this */
- int that_member; /* Current state for that */
- };
-
- /*
- * This class is for barfoo options.
- */
- class this_class_c
- {
- int this_member; /* Current state for this */
- int that_member; /* Current state for that */
-
- /*
- * 'get_this()' - Get the current state for this.
- */
- int /* O - Current state for this */
- get_this()
- {
- return (this_member);
- }
- };
-
-
-Enumerations
- -Each enumeration must have a comment block immediately before -the definition describing what the enumeration is for, and each -enumeration value must have a comment immediately after the -value, as follows:
- -
- /*
- * Enumeration of media trays.
- */
- enum this_enum_e
- {
- THIS_TRAY, /* This tray */
- THAT_TRAY /* That tray */
- };

+Name
+mxmldoc - mini-xml documentation generator +Synopsis
+mxmldoc +[ --intro +introfile.html +] [ --section +section +] [ --title +title +] [ +filename.xml +] [ +source file(s) +] > +filename.html +Description
+mxmldoc scans the specified C and C++ source files to +produce an XML representation of globally accessible classes, +constants, enumerations, functions, structures, typedefs, +unions, and variables. The XML file is updated as necessary and +a HTML representation of the XML file is written to the standard +output. If no source files are specified then the current XML +file is converted to HTML on the standard output. +In general, any C or C++ source code is handled by +mxmldoc, however it was specifically written to handle +code with documentation that is formatted according to the CUPS +Configuration Management Plan which is available at +"http://www.cups.org/documentation.php". +
