Class RDoc::RDoc
In: rdoc.rb
Parent: Object

Encapsulate the production of rdoc documentation. Basically you can use this as you would invoke rdoc from the command line:

   rdoc = RDoc::RDoc.new
   rdoc.document(args)

where args is an array of strings, each corresponding to an argument you‘d give rdoc on the command line. See rdoc/rdoc.rb for details.

Methods

Constants

Generator = Struct.new(:file_name, :class_name, :key)   This is the list of output generators that we support
GENERATORS = {}

Public Instance methods

Format up one or more files according to the given arguments. For simplicity, argv is an array of strings, equivalent to the strings that would be passed on the command line. (This isn‘t a coincidence, as we do pass in ARGV when running interactively). For a list of options, see rdoc/rdoc.rb. By default, output will be stored in a directory called doc below the current directory, so make sure you‘re somewhere writable before invoking.

Throws: RDocError on error

Report an error message and exit

Return a list of the files to be processed in a directory. We know that this directory doesn‘t have a .document file, so we‘re looking for real files. However we may well contain subdirectories which must be tested for .document files

[Source]

     # File rdoc.rb, line 206
206:     def list_files_in_directory(dir, options)
207:       normalized_file_list(options, Dir.glob(File.join(dir, "*")), false, options.exclude)
208:     end

Given a list of files and directories, create a list of all the Ruby files they contain.

If force_doc is true, we always add the given files. If false, only add files that we guarantee we can parse It is true when looking at files given on the command line, false when recursing through subdirectories.

The effect of this is that if you want a file with a non- standard extension parsed, you must name it explicity.

Return the path name of the flag file in an output directory.

The .document file contains a list of file and directory name patterns, representing candidates for documentation. It may also contain comments (starting with ’#’)

Create an output dir if it doesn‘t exist. If it does exist, but doesn‘t contain the flag file created.rid then we refuse to use it, as we may clobber some manually generated documentation
