NAME

       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

       -m file

       -r     Enable tracing on generated code.

       -s suffix

       -t tag The  primary  version  to  tag  generate  code for. You only can
              specify those defined with a %Timeline directive. If  you  don’t
