.. role:: ref(emphasis) .. _futhark-doc(1): =========== futhark-doc =========== SYNOPSIS ======== futhark doc [options...] dir DESCRIPTION =========== ``futhark doc`` generates HTML-formatted documentation from Futhark code. One HTML file will be created for each ``.fut`` file in the given directory, as well as any file reachable through ``import`` expressions. The given Futhark code will be considered as one cohesive whole, and must be type-correct. Futhark definitions may be documented by prefixing them with a block of line comments starting with :literal:`-- |` (see example below). Simple Markdown syntax is supported within these comments. A link to another identifier is possible with the notation :literal:`\`name\`@namespace`, where ``namespace`` must be either ``term``, ``type``, or ``mtype`` (module names are in the ``term`` namespace). A file may contain a leading documentation comment, which will be considered the file *abstract*. ``futhark doc`` will ignore any file whose documentation comment consists solely of the word "ignore". This is useful for files that contain tests, or are otherwise not relevant to the reader of the documentation. OPTIONS ======= -h Print help text to standard output and exit. -o outdir The name of the directory that will contain the generated documentation. This option is mandatory. -v, --verbose Print status messages to stderr while running. -V Print version information on standard output and exit. EXAMPLES ======== .. code-block:: futhark -- | Gratuitous re-implementation of `map`@term. -- -- Does exactly the same. let mymap = ...
