Input Filters

The input filters are a powerful way to change the source files as they are read into Doxygen. The FILTER_SOURCE_FILES tag and the INPUT_FILTER tag in the project file can be used to specify a program that should be invoked to filter for each input file. Doxygen uses the output that the filter program writes to standard output.

The TechPubTools use input filters to:

• Change comment styles from //! into /**...**/.

• Change class definitions into a format that is more standard for Doxygen reporting.

• Change the @bug Doxygen command into @lim command that is defined in the project file in the ALIASES section.

• Change program files (e.g., Perl, IVE) into a format that is more or less recognized by Doxygen.

Refer to Chapter 17, “Input Filters to Doxygen,” for more information on Perl programs available.
