|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This tool generates API reference documentation by extracting comments from
|
|
source code written in the Rust language, available at
|
|
<\fBhttps://www.rust-lang.org\fR>. It accepts several input formats and provides
|
|
several output formats for the generated documentation.
|

.SH "OUTPUT FORMATS"
|
|
|
|
The rustdoc tool can generate output in either an HTML or JSON format.
|
|
|
|
If using an HTML format, then the specified output destination will be the root
|
|
directory of an HTML structure for all the documentation. Pages will be placed
|
|
into this directory, and source files will also possibly be rendered into it as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
If using a JSON format, then the specified output destination will have the
|
|
rustdoc output serialized as JSON into it. This output format exists to
|
|
pre-compile documentation for crates, and for usage in non-rustdoc tools. The
|
|
JSON output is the following hash:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"schema": VERSION,
|
|
"crate": ...,
|
|
"plugins": ...,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The schema version indicates what the structure of crate/plugins will look
|
|
like. Within a schema version the structure will remain the same. The `crate`
|
|
field will contain all relevant documentation for the source being documented,
|
|
and the `plugins` field will contain the output of the plugins run over the
|
|
crate.
|
|
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLES"
|
|
|
|
To generate documentation for the source in the current directory:
|
|
$ rustdoc hello.rs
|
|
|
|
List all available passes that rustdoc has, along with default passes:
|
|
$ rustdoc --passes list
|
|
|
|
To precompile the documentation for a crate, and then use it to render html at
|
|
a later date:
|
|
$ rustdoc -w json hello.rs
|
|
$ rustdoc doc.json
|
|
|
|
The generated HTML can be viewed with any standard web browser.
