SPHINX-AUTOGEN(1)                   Sphinx                   SPHINX-AUTOGEN(1)

NAME
       sphinx-autogen - Generate autodoc stub pages

SYNOPSIS
       sphinx-autogen [options] <sourcefile> ...

DESCRIPTION
       sphinx-autogen  is  a  tool  for automatic generation of Sphinx sources
       that,  using  the  autodoc  extension,  document  items   included   in
       autosummary listing(s).

       sourcefile  is  the path to one or more reStructuredText documents con-
       taining autosummary entries with the :toctree:: option set.  sourcefile
       can be an fnmatch-style pattern.

OPTIONS
       -o <outputdir>
              Directory  to place the output file. If it does not exist, it is
              created.  Defaults to the value passed to the :toctree: option.

       -s <suffix>, --suffix <suffix>
              Default suffix to use for generated files. Defaults to rst.

       -t <templates>, --templates <templates>
              Custom template directory. Defaults to None.

       -i, --imported-members
              Document imported members.

       -a, --respect-module-all
              Document exactly the members in a module's __all__ attribute.

EXAMPLE
       Given the following directory structure:

          docs
          ├── index.rst
          └── ...
          foobar
          ├── foo
          │   └── __init__.py
          └── bar
              ├── __init__.py
              └── baz
                  └── __init__.py

       and assuming docs/index.rst contained the following:

          Modules
          =======

          .. autosummary::
             :toctree: modules

             foobar.foo
             foobar.bar
             foobar.bar.baz

       If you run the following:

          $ PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-autogen docs/index.rst

       then the following stub files will be created in docs:

          docs
          ├── index.rst
          └── modules
              ├── foobar.bar.rst
              ├── foobar.bar.baz.rst
              └── foobar.foo.rst

       and each of those files will contain a autodoc directive and some other
       information.
