# csdoc2hier(1)

convert C# documentation into a hierarchy diagram

## NAME

csdoc2hier - convert C# documentation into a hierarchy diagram

## SYNOPSIS

**csdoc2hier** \[ options \] *input* ...

## DESCRIPTION

**Csdoc2hier** reads the supplied XML input files, and converts them into a diagram of the type hierarchy.

Specifying multiple input files is exactly the same as specifying one input file which is the concatenation of all of the files. Only one output collection is created.  **Csdoc2hier** must be invoked multiple times to convert multiple input files into multiple output collections.

## OPTIONS

- **-o *name*, --output *name***

  Specify the name of the output file.  If not specified, the default is standard output.

- **-fby-library**

  Organise the output by library instead of by class name.

- **--help**

  Print a usage message for the **csdoc2hier** program.

- **-v, --version**

  Print the version of the **csdoc2hier** program.

- **--**

  Marks the end of the command-line options, and the beginning of the input filenames.  You may need to use this if your filename begins with '-'.  e.g. "csdoc2hier -- -input.xml".  This is not needed if the input is stdin: "csdoc2hier -" is perfectly valid.
