# edoc(1)

Generate documentation as HTML or EEP-48 doc chunks

## NAME

edoc - Generate documentation as HTML or EEP-48 doc chunks

## DESCRIPTION

This program is a command line entry point to both *edoc:application/2* and *edoc:files/2* functions. It also allows to generate just the EEP-48 doc chunks (using the *-chunks* flag) instead of the complete HTML documentation.

### edoc -app \<app\> \[-chunks\]

EDoc is invoked via *edoc:application/2*, with the default set of options. If *-chunks* is given, then only doc chunks will be generated, not the full HTML documentation.

Run the script with no arguments to get the full list of options.

### edoc -files \<erl\_file\>... \[-chunks\]

EDoc is invoked via *edoc:files/2*, with the default set of options. If *-chunks* is given, then only doc chunks will be generated, not the full HTML documentation.

Run the script with no arguments to get the full list of options.
