Doxygen

Doxygen is a documentation system that also extracts information from the source files directly.

Daily generated docs for the development and stable branches can be found on paparazzi.github.com/docs.

Generating Doxygen Code Documentation yourself

A way to look at the includes and dependencies is to use the graphs generated with doxygen. After installing Paparazzi, install Doxygen:

sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz

run the generation tool from the paparazzi/ directory:

doxygen

Now Doxygen will have generated html documentation(open this with any web browser) in your paparazzi/html/docs folder.

To look at a list of all of the files used by the airborne software:

paparazzi/doc/html/docs/files.html

The main_ap.c will also interest you.

paparazzi/doc/html/docs/main__ap_8c.html

This is a sample of a Doxygen Graph:

Doxygen Style

The Paparazzi Doxygen style guide is of course written in doxygen as well ;-)

Please document the code using doxygen comments instead of normal comments where appropriate.

See the Doxygen Manual for more details.
