Use rustc --print sysroot for default sources Previously, we were used /usr/share/doc/rust{,-doc}/html as a default source, assuming that it would contain the standard library documentation. This is true if the user installed the Rust documentation manually or using a package manager. If they use rustup instead, the documentation is placed in a subdirectory of ~/.rustup. With this patch, we call `rustc --print sysroot` to determine the installation directory of the currently activated Rust toolchain – either the system Rust installation or a Rust installation managed by rustup. We then use `$(sysroot)/share/doc/…` as a default path for the standard library documentation (with /usr as a fallback if the call to rustc does not return a valid path).
2020-07-25 17:06:27 +00:00
If the documentation is not placed in `./target/doc` or the Rust installation
directory, you have to manually set the source path using the `-s`/`--source`
option:

Update installation instructions This patch updates the installation instructions with information on the AUR packgage and on the tarball downloads.
2020-08-11 07:59:43 +00:00
To install rusty-man from source, clone this repository and use cargo to build
the project, or use `cargo install`. See the [`INSTALL.md`][] file for more
information. rusty-man is also available as a package for these distributions:

Use crossterm instead of termion With this patch, we replace the termion dependency with crossterm. This should make it possible to compile and run rusty-man on other platforms than Unix.
2020-07-24 11:18:35 +00:00
rusty-man should run on all platforms supported by [`crossterm`][]. If you

rusty-man to other platforms, please let me know.
Add vim integration to readme This patch adds information about calling rusty-man from vim to the readme.
2020-07-24 20:47:13 +00:00
## Integrations
### vim
You can set rusty-man as the keyword program with `set keywordprg=rusty-man`
and then use `K` to open the documentation for the item under the cursor. If
you want to apply this setting for all Rust files, add it to the
`ftplugin/rust.vim` file in your vim runtime directory (e. g. `~/.vim`).

## Minimum Supported Rust Version
Add --viewer option and plain text viewer This patch adds a new --viewer command line option that lets the user select a viewer that displays the documentation. It also adds a default viewer implementation that uses html2text to generate plain text from the HTML documentation. html2text requires the ptr_cast feature and we use the Option::as_deref method in the viewer implementation, so we have to update the minimum supported Rust version to 1.40.
2020-07-16 19:01:29 +00:00
This crate supports Rust 1.40 or later.
