Whole-tree documentation

autosvsummary documents an entire subtree of the project-wide index in one directive — the “parse wide, reference scope” model. It is the project’s analog of Doxygen/Exhale’s full-API-tree page.

Basic use

Document everything that was parsed:

.. autosvsummary::

This renders every top-level package/module (and, by default, their members) that the extension found in sv_source_dirs / sv_build_units.

Narrowing the scope

Option

Effect

argument (a glob)

only top-level names matching the glob, e.g. uvm_*

:packages:

restrict to objects within the named package(s)

:kinds:

only the given kinds (class, module, package, …)

:exclude:

drop the named objects

:members: / :undoc-members: / :member-order:

as for autosvclass

:doc-style:

dialect override

Examples:

.. Document only the classes in two packages.
.. autosvsummary::
   :kinds: class
   :packages: my_pkg, my_other_pkg

.. Document every module whose name starts with "axi_".
.. autosvsummary:: axi_*
   :kinds: module

Because the whole source set is parsed once into a shared index, a large tree is documented without re-parsing per directive.
