usage: sphinx-apidoc [OPTIONS] -o <OUTPUT_PATH> <MODULE_PATH> [EXCLUDE_PATTERN, ...]
Look recursively in <MODULE_PATH> for Python modules and packages and create one reST file with
automodule directives per package in the <OUTPUT_PATH>. The <EXCLUDE_PATTERN>s can be file and/or
directory patterns that will be excluded from generation. Note: By default this script will not
overwrite already created files.
positional arguments:
module_path path to module to document
exclude_pattern fnmatch-style file and/or directory patterns to exclude from generation
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
-o, --output-dir DESTDIR
directory to place all output
-q no output on stdout, just warnings on stderr
-d, --maxdepth MAXDEPTH
maximum depth of submodules to show in the TOC (default: 4)
-f, --force overwrite existing files
-l, --follow-links follow symbolic links. Powerful when combined with
collective.recipe.omelette.
-n, --dry-run run the script without creating files
-e, --separate put documentation for each module on its own page
-P, --private include "_private" modules
--tocfile TOCFILE filename of table of contents (default: modules)
-T, --no-toc don't create a table of contents file
-E, --no-headings don't create headings for the module/package packages (e.g. when the
docstrings already contain them)
-M, --module-first put module documentation before submodule documentation
--implicit-namespaces
interpret module paths according to PEP-0420 implicit namespaces
specification
-s, --suffix SUFFIX file suffix (default: rst)
--remove-old Remove existing files in the output directory that were not generated
-F, --full generate a full project with sphinx-quickstart
-a, --append-syspath append module_path to sys.path, used when --full is given
-H, --doc-project HEADER
project name (default: root module name)
-A, --doc-author AUTHOR
project author(s), used when --full is given
-V, --doc-version VERSION
project version, used when --full is given
-R, --doc-release RELEASE
project release, used when --full is given, defaults to --doc-version
extension options:
--extensions EXTENSIONS
enable arbitrary extensions
--ext-autodoc enable autodoc extension
--ext-doctest enable doctest extension
--ext-intersphinx enable intersphinx extension
--ext-todo enable todo extension
--ext-coverage enable coverage extension
--ext-imgmath enable imgmath extension
--ext-mathjax enable mathjax extension
--ext-ifconfig enable ifconfig extension
--ext-viewcode enable viewcode extension
--ext-githubpages enable githubpages extension
Project templating:
-t, --templatedir TEMPLATEDIR
template directory for template files

Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
