NAME

       yardoc - Ruby tool to generate documentation for the Ruby programming language

SYNOPSIS

       yarddoc [options] [source_files [- extra_files]] yard doc [options] [source_files [-
       extra_files]]

DESCRIPTION

       yard(1) is an extensible documentation generation tool for the Ruby programming language.
       It enables the user to generate consistent, usable documentation that can be exported to a
       number of formats very easily, and also supports extending for custom Ruby constructs such
       as custom class level definitions.

       yardoc, synonym for yard doc generates the documentation from the list of source_files. If
       this list is omitted, "{lib,app}/**/*.rb ext/**/*.c" is used.

       A base set of options can be specified by adding a .yardopts file to your base path
       containing all extra options separated by whitespace.
