       sip - generates C++/Python bindings

SYNOPSIS

       sip  [-h]  [-V] [-a file] [-c dir] [-d file] [-e] [-g] [-I dir] [-j #] [-k] [-m file] [-o]
       [-p module] [-P] [-r] [-s suffix] [-t tag] [-w] [-x feature] [-z file] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       sip takes a set of specification files and generates C++  code,  documentation  and  build
       files.

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

OPTIONS

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -V     Display the sip version number

       -a file
              The name of the QScintilla 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, no code will be generated.

       -d file
              The  name  of  the  documentation  file. If not indicated, no documentation will be
              generated.

       -e     Enable support for exceptions. Disabled by default.

       -g     Always release and reaquire the GIL.

       -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 XML export file. If not indicated, the file will not be generated.

       -p module
              Give the name of the consolidated module this module should be a part of.

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

       -t tag The  primary  version  to tag 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
