SYNOPSIS

       sip  [-h]  [-V]  [-a  file]  [-b  file]  [-B  tag] [-c dir] [-d file] [-e] [-g] [-I dir] [-j number] [-k]
       [-m file] [-o] [-p module] [-P] [-r] [-s suffix] [-t tag]  [-w]  [-x  feature]  [-X  id:file]  [-z  file]
       [@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.

       -B tag Add tag to the list of timeline backstops.

       -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 (deprecated).  If  not  indicated,  no  documentation  will  be

       -j number
              Splits  the  generated  code  in  number  files  (1  by default). This flag was added for parallel

       -P     Enable the protected/public hack.

       -r     Enable tracing on generated code.

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

       -t tag The version/platform to generate code for.

       -w     Enable warning messages.

       -x feature
              Disable a feature.

       -X id:file
              Create the extracts for an id in a file.

       -z file
              The name of a file containing additional command line flags.  This option is deprecated, use @file

       @file  The name of a file containing more command line flags.

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