DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
rusty-man is a command-line viewer for documentation generated by `rustdoc`.
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Example Usage
|
## Example Usage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before running rusty-man, make sure that you generated the documentation with
|
||||||
|
`cargo doc`:
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
$ cd rusty-man && cargo doc
|
$ cd rusty-man && cargo doc
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then you can open the documentation for an item:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
$ rusty-man kuchiki::NodeRef
|
$ rusty-man kuchiki::NodeRef
|
||||||
# Struct kuchiki::NodeRef
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pub struct NodeRef(pub Rc<Node>);
|
You don’t have to specificy the full item name:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
A strong reference to a node.
|
$ rusty-man NodeRef
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the documentation is not placed in `./target/doc` or
|
||||||
|
`/usr/share/doc/rust{,-doc}/html`, you have to manually set the source path
|
||||||
|
using the `-s`/`--source` option:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
$ rusty-man --source ~/.rustup/toolchains/stable-*/share/doc/html io::Error
|
$ rusty-man --source ~/.rustup/toolchains/stable-*/share/doc/html io::Error
|
||||||
# Struct std::io::Error
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pub struct Error { /* fields omitted */ }
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The error type for I/O operations of the `Read`, `Write`, `Seek`, and associated traits.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Errors mostly originate from the underlying OS, but custom instances of `Error` can be created with
|
|
||||||
crafted error messages and a particular value of `ErrorKind`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If there are multiple matches for the keyword, rusty-man will show you a list
|
||||||
|
of all matching items:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
$ rusty-man --source ~/.rustup/toolchains/stable-*/share/doc/rust/html u8
|
$ rusty-man --source ~/.rustup/toolchains/stable-*/share/doc/rust/html u8
