doxygen: Generate a template configuration file.
$ doxygen -g ${path-to-config_file}
try on your machine

The command "doxygen -g ${path-to-config_file}" is used to generate a default configuration file for Doxygen, a documentation generator tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "doxygen" is the executable command for running Doxygen.
  • "-g" is an option that tells Doxygen to generate a default configuration file.
  • "${path-to-config_file}" is a placeholder for the path where you want the generated configuration file to be saved.

When you execute this command, Doxygen will create a configuration file with default settings and save it at the specified path. This configuration file can then be customized to suit your project's specific documentation requirements.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
