# 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 don’t 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`.

||
