sip - generates C++/Python bindings

sip [-h] [-V] [-a file] [-b file] [-c dir] [-d file] [-e] [-I dir] [-j #] [-m file] [-p module] [-r] [-s suffix] [-t version] [-w] [-x feature] [-z file] [file]

sip takes a set of specification files, and generate C++ compilable code, documentation and Makefiles.

The format of the needed specification file is similar to a C++ header. sip includes run-time support for the generated code (libsip).

-h

Show summary of options.

-V

Display the sip version number

-a file

The name of the Scintilla API file. If not indicated, it will not be generated.

-b file

The name of the build file. If not indicated, it will not be generated.

-c dir

The name of the directory where generated source file will be put. If not indicated, code will not be generated.

-d file

The name of the documentation file. It's not generated by default.

-e

Enable support for exceptions.

-I dir

Directory where sip can search for included files.

-j number

Splits the generated code in number files (1 by default). This flag was added for parallel compilation on SMP machines.

-m file

The name of the Makefile. None is generated if you don't specify this option.

-p module

The name of the generated C++ module. By default, sip takes what you have stated using the %Module directive.

-r

Enable tracing on generated code.

-s suffix

The suffix used for generated C++ files (".cpp" if none specified)

-t version

The primary version to generate code for. You only can specify those defined with a %Timeline directive. If you don't specify one, sip will generate the latest available.

-w

Enable warning messages

-x feature

Disable a feature

-z file

This way you can specify a file containing extra command line flags

file

The name of the file containing the specification. If you skip it, sip will expect to be fed by stdin.
