NAME¶
rdoc1.8 - Generate documentation from Ruby script files
SYNOPSIS¶
rdoc1.8 [options] [names...]
DESCRIPTION¶
Files are parsed, and the information they contain collected, before any output
is produced. This allows cross references between all files to be resolved. If
a name is a directory, it is traversed. If no names are specified, all Ruby
files in the current directory (and subdirectories) are processed.
Available output formatters: chm, html, ri, xml
For information on where the output goes, use:
rdoc --help-output
OPTIONS¶
-
--accessor, -A accessorname[,..]
- comma separated list of additional class methods that
should be treated like 'attr_reader' and friends. Option may be repeated.
Each accessorname may have '=text' appended, in which case that text
appears where the r/w/rw appears for normal accessors.
-
--all, -a
- include all methods (not just public) in the output.
-
--charset, -c charset
- specifies HTML character-set
-
--debug, -D
- displays lots on internal stuff
-
--diagram, -d
- generate diagrams showing modules and classes. You need dot
V1.8.6 or later to use the --diagram option correctly. Dot is available
from <URL:http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/>.
-
--exclude, -x pattern
- do not process files or directories matching pattern. Files
given explicitly on the command line will never be excluded.
-
--extension, -E new=old
- treat files ending with .new as if they ended with .old.
Using '-E cgi=rb' will cause xxx.cgi to be parsed as a Ruby file
-
--fileboxes, -F
- classes are put in boxes which represents files, where
these classes reside. Classes shared between more than one file are shown
with list of files that sharing them. Silently discarded if --diagram is
not given Experimental.
-
--fmt, -f formatname
- set the output formatter (see below).
-
--help, -h
- print usage.
-
--help-output, -O
- explain the various output options.
-
--image-format, -I gif|png|jpg|jpeg
- sets output image format for diagrams. Can be png, gif,
jpeg, jpg. If this option is omitted, png is used. Requires
--diagram.
-
--include, -i dir[,dir...]
- set (or add to) the list of directories to be searched when
satisfying :include: requests. Can be used more than once.
-
--inline-source, -S
- show method source code inline, rather than via a popup
link.
-
--line-numbers, -N
- include line numbers in the source code
-
--main, -m name
- name will be the initial page displayed.
-
--merge, -M
- when creating ri output, merge processed classes into
previously documented classes of the name name.
-
--one-file, -1
- put all the output into a single file.
-
--op, -o dir
- set the output directory.
-
--opname, -n name
- set the name of the output. Has no effect for HTML.
-
--promiscuous, -p
- When documenting a file that contains a module or class
also defined in other files, show all stuff for that module/class in each
files page. By default, only show stuff defined in that particular
file.
-
--quiet, -q
- don't show progress as we parse.
-
--ri, -r
- generate output for use by 'ri.' The files are stored in
the '.rdoc' directory under your home directory unless overridden by a
subsequent --op parameter, so no special privileges are needed.
-
--ri-site, -R
- generate output for use by 'ri.' The files are stored in a
site-wide directory, making them accessible to others, so special
privileges are needed.
-
--ri-system, -Y
- generate output for use by 'ri.' The files are stored in a
system-level directory, making them accessible to others, so special
privileges are needed. This option is intended to be used during Ruby
installations.
-
--show-hash, -H
- a name of the form #name in a comment is a possible
hyperlink to an instance method name. When displayed, the '#' is removed
unless this option is specified.
-
--style, -s stylesheet-url
- specifies the URL of a separate stylesheet.
-
--tab-width, -w n
- set the width of tab characters (default 8).
-
--template, -T template-name
- set the template used when generating output.
-
--title, -t text
- set text as the title for the output.
-
--version, -v
- display RDoc's version.
-
--webcvs, -W url
- specify a URL for linking to a web frontend to CVS. If the
URL contains a ´%s', the name of the current file will be
substituted; if the URL doesn't contain a '%s', the filename will be
appended to it.
