Doctum

Command-line generator that builds API documentation from PHP source code and its phpdoc comments.

Doctum reads PHP source code and its phpdoc comments and writes API documentation for a library. A configuration file returns a Doctum\Doctum object that points at the source directory and sets options such as the title, language and build directory. The tool is distributed as a single phar file, as the homepage describes.

Doctum is a fork of Sami, a PHP API documentation generator, and its README states this. The README also links a GitHub Action for use in GitHub CI.
