These comments are used to document functions, +variables, structs, enums, fields, and everything else that might need +to be documented for developers. Additional files containing comments +that supplement the code comments in order to provide complete developer +documentation. + +Even if you already know Doxygen, please read this Primer to learn +how OpenOCD developers already use Doxygen features in the project tree. +For more information about OpenOCD's required style for using Doxygen, +see the @ref styledoxygen page and look at existing documentation in the +@c doc/manual tree. + +@section primerdoxytext Doxygen Input Files + +Doxygen has been configured parse all of the C source code files (*.c +and *.h) in @c src/ in order to produce a complete reference of all +OpenOCD project symbols. In addition to the source code files, other +files will also be scanned for comment blocks; some are referenced +explicitly by the @c INPUT variable in the Doxygen configuration file. + +By default, the Doxygen configuration enables a "full" set of features, +including generation of dependency graphs (using the GraphViz package). +These features may be disabled by editing the @c Doxyfile.in file at the +top of the project tree; the configuration file includes comments that +provide detailed documentation for each option. + +To support out-of-tree building of the documentation, the @c Doxyfile.in +@c INPUT values will have all instances of the string @c "@srcdir@" +replaced with the current value of the make variable +$(srcdir). The Makefile uses a rule to convert +@c Doxyfile.in into the @c Doxyfile used by make doxygen. + +@section primerdoxyoocd OpenOCD Input Files + +OpenOCD uses the @c INPUT mechanism to include additional documentation to +provide The Manual for OpenOCD Developers. These extra files contain +high-level information intended to supplement the relatively low-level +documentation that gets extracted from the source code comments. + +OpenOCD's Doxygen configuration file will search for all @c .txt files +that can be found under the @c doc/manual directory in the project tree. +New files containing valid Doxygen markup that are placed in or under +that directory will be detected and included in The Manual automatically. + +@section primerdoxyman Doxygen Reference Manual + +The full documentation for Doxygen can be referenced on-line at the project +home page: http://www.doxygen.org/index.html.
