# rusty-man
```
$ rusty-man rusty-man | head -5
rusty-man Module rusty-man rusty-man
DESCRIPTION
rusty-man is a command-line viewer for documentation generated by
`rustdoc`.
```
## Example Usage
Before running rusty-man, make sure that you generated the documentation with
`cargo doc`:
```
$ cd rusty-man && cargo doc
```
Then you can open the documentation for an item:
```
$ rusty-man kuchiki::NodeRef
```
You dont have to specificy the full item name:
```
$ rusty-man NodeRef
```
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:
```
$ rusty-man --source my/other/crate/target/doc io::Error
```
If there are multiple matches for the keyword, rusty-man will show you a list
of all matching items:
```
$ rusty-man --source my/other/crate/target/doc u8
Found mulitple matches for u8 select one of:
[ 0 ] core::u8: The 8-bit unsigned integer type.
[ 1 ] std::u8: The 8-bit unsigned integer type.
> 1
```
For more usage information, run `rusty-man --help`.
## Installation
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:
- Arch Linux: [`rusty-man`][pkg-aur] in the Arch User Repository
rusty-man should run on all platforms, but the `rich` viewer is only available
for ANSI terminals. If you have trouble running rusty-man on your platform or
if you want to help porting rusty-man to other platforms, please let me know.
## 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`).
