[PATH ...]
Generate type stubs for TVM FFI extensions. It supports two modes
- In `--init-*` mode, it generates missing `_ffi_api.py` and `__init__.py` files, based on the registered global functions and object types in the loaded libraries.
- In normal mode, it processes the given files/directories in-place, generating type stubs inside special `tvm-ffi-stubgen` directive blocks.
Documentation: https://tvm.apache.org/ffi/packaging/stubgen.html.
positional arguments:
PATH Files or directories to process. Directories are scanned recursively; only .py and .pyi files are modified. Use tvm-ffi-stubgen directives to select where stubs are generated. (default: None)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--imports IMPORTS Additional imports to load before generation, separated by ';' (e.g. 'pkgA;pkgB.submodule'). (default: )
--dlls LIBS Shared libraries to preload before generation (e.g. TVM runtime or your extension), separated by ';'. This ensures global function and object metadata is available. Platform-specific suffixes like .so/.dylib/.dll are supported. (default: )
--init-pypkg INIT_PYPKG
Python package name to generate stubs for (e.g. apache-tvm-ffi). Required together with --init-lib and --init-prefix. (default: )
--init-lib INIT_LIB CMake target that produces the shared library to load for stub generation (e.g. tvm_ffi_shared). Required together with --init-pypkg and --init-prefix. (default: )
--init-prefix INIT_PREFIX
Global function/object prefix to include when generating stubs (e.g. tvm_ffi.). Required together with --init-pypkg and --init-lib. (default: )
--indent INDENT Extra spaces added inside each generated block, relative to the indentation of the corresponding '# tvm-ffi-stubgen(begin):' line. (default: 4)
--verbose Print a unified diff of changes to each file. This is useful for debugging or previewing changes before applying them. (default: False)
--dry-run Don't write changes to files. This is useful for previewing changes without modifying any files. (default: False)
