Build local documentation

You might want to build the manual or code documentation from the repository because you need it to be synchronized with a specific version of Oak or simply for offline usage. Here how to do it!

Build the manual

You need the utility rustbook:

git clone https://github.com/steveklabnik/rustbook.git
cd rustbook
cargo build

Once built, go inside oak/doc and execute rustbook build. The manual is generated inside a local folder named _book.

Build the code documentation

You should be interested by the runtime documentation which is the one useful for users.

cd oak/runtime
cargo doc

The documentation is available in oak/runtime/target/doc.

If you want the developer documentation of the Oak compiler, go to the root of the project and launch:

cd oak
rustdoc --no-defaults --passes "collapse-docs" --passes "unindent-comments" --output=target/dev-doc src/liboak/lib.rs

The documentation will be available inside oak/target/dev-doc.
