# setVerbose

open fun setVerbose(verbose: Boolean)(source)

### Deprecated

Sets whether Javadoc generation is accompanied by verbose output or not. The verbose output is done via println (by the underlying Ant task). Thus it is not handled by our logging.

#### Deprecated

This method duplicates the functionality of `getOptions().verbose()`. It will be removed in Gradle 9.0.

#### Parameters

verbose

Whether the output should be verbose.
