Ubuntu Manpage: haddock - documentation tool for annotated Haskell source code

NAME

       haddock - documentation tool for annotated Haskell source code

SYNOPSIS

       haddock [options] file...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the haddock command.  Extensive documentation is available in various
       other formats including DVI, PostScript and HTML; see below.

       file is a filename containing a Haskell source module.  All the modules specified  on  the  command  line
       will  be  processed together.  When one module refers to an entity in another module being processed, the
       documentation will link directly to that entity.

       Entities that cannot be found, for example because they are in a module that is not  being  processed  as
       part  of  the current batch, simply will not be hyperlinked in the generated documentation.  haddock will
       emit warnings listing all the identifiers it could not resolve.

       The modules should not be mutually recursive, as haddock does not like swimming in circles.

OPTIONS

The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the other documentation.

-o DIR, --odir=DIR
directory in which to put the output files

-i FILE, --read-interface=FILE
read an interface from FILE.

-D FILE, --dump-interface=FILE
dump an interface for these modules in FILE.

-l DIR, --lib=DIR
location of Haddock's auxiliary files

-h, --html
Generate documentation in HTML format. Several files will be generated into the current directory
(or the specified directory if the -o option is given), including the following:

index.html
The top level page of the documentation: lists the modules available, using indentation to
represent the hierarchy if the modules are hierarchical.

haddock.css
The stylesheet used by the generated HTML. Feel free to modify this to change the colors
or layout, or even specify your own stylesheet using the --css option.

module.html
An HTML page for each module.

doc-index.html, doc-index-XX.html
The index, split into two (functions/constructors and types/classes, as per Haskell
namespaces) and further split alphabetically.

--hoogle
output for Hoogle

--html-help=format
produce index and table of contents in mshelp, mshelp2 or devhelp format (with -h)

--source-base=URL
Include links to the source files in the generated documentation, where URL is the base URL where
the source files can be found.

-s URL, --source-module=URL
Include links to the source files in the generated documentation, where URL is a source code link
for each module (using the %{FILE} or %{MODULE} vars).

--source-entity=URL
Include links to the source files in the generated documentation, where URL is a source code link
for each entity (using the %{FILE}, %{MODULE} or %{NAME} vars).

--comments-base=URL
URL for a comments link on the contents and index pages.

--comments-module=URL
URL for a comments link for each module (using the %{MODULE} var).

--comments-entity=URL
URL for a comments link for each entity (using the %{FILE}, %{MODULE} or %{NAME} vars).

--css=FILE
Use the CSS FILE instead of the default stylesheet that comes with haddock for HTML output. It
should specify certain classes: see the default stylesheet for details.

-p FILE, --prologue=FILE
Specify a file containing prologue text.

-t TITLE, --title=TITLE
Use TITLE as the page heading for each page in the documentation. This will normally be the name
of the library being documented.

The title should be a plain string (no markup please!).

-k NAME, --package=NAME
Specify the package name (optional).

-n, --no-implicit-prelude
do not assume Prelude is imported

-d, --debug
Enable extra debugging output.

-?, --help
Display help.

-V, --version
Display version.

-v, --verbose
Verbose status reporting.

--use-contents=URL
Use a separately-generated HTML contents page.

--gen-contents
Generate an HTML contents from specified interfaces.

--use-index=URL
Use a separately-generated HTML index.

--gen-index
Generate an HTML index from specified interfaces.

--ignore-all-exports
Behave as if all modules have the ignore-exports atribute

--hide=MODULE
Behave as if MODULE has the hide attribute.

--use-package=PACKAGE
The modules being processed depend on PACKAGE.
