CMake,CPack,CTest builtin documentation
All CMake tools command line do have some builtin documentation support. The tools (cmake, cpack, ctest) supports a variable subset of:
ctool --help-command[-list] ctool --help-module[-list] ctool --help-variable[-list] ctool --help-policy[-list] ctool --help-property[-list] ctool --help-full ctool --help-html
for the detail see:
cmake --help cpack --help ctest --help
This builtin documentation comes from 2 different places:
- static variables in C++ sources
- text surrounded by markup in CMake script files
Documentation in C++ sources
This is the primary source of builtin documentation.
Documentation markup in CMake script files
This source is available since CMake 2.8.8 and is currently only used by CPack.
