# shiboken(1)

CPython bindings generator for C++ libraries

## NAME

shiboken - CPython bindings generator for C++ libraries

## DESCRIPTION

### Usage:

-

  shiboken \[options\] header-file typesystem-file

### General options:

- **--debug-level**=*\[sparse*\|medium\|full\]

  Set the debug level

- **--documentation-only**

  Do not generates any code, just the documentation

- **--generatorSet**

  generatorSet to be used. e.g. qtdoc

- **--help**

  Display this help and exit

- **--include-paths=**\<path\>\[:\<path\>:...\]

  Include paths used by the C++ parser

- **--license-file**=*\[licensefile\]*

  File used for copyright headers of generated files

- **--no-suppress-warnings**

  Show all warnings

- **--output-directory**=*\[dir\]*

  The directory where the generated files will be written

- **--silent**

  Avoid printing any message

- **--typesystem-paths=**\<path\>\[:\<path\>:...\]

  Paths used when searching for typesystems

- **--version**

  Output version information and exit

### Shiboken options:

- **--disable-verbose-error-messages**

  Disable verbose error messages. Turn the python code hard to debug but safe few kB on the generated bindings.

- **--enable-parent-ctor-heuristic**

  Enable heuristics to detect parent relationship on constructors.

- **--enable-pyside-extensions**

  Enable PySide extensions, such as support for signal/slots, use this if you are creating a binding for a Qt-based library.

- **--enable-return-value-heuristic**

  Enable heuristics to detect parent relationship on return values (USE WITH CAUTION!)
