## [zig](https://ziglang.org) docs on command line.
usage:
zdoc [source] <identifier>
the program searches source code for matching public identifiers,
printing found types and their doc comments to stdout.
the search is case-insensitive and non-exhaustive.
for example, look up format function in std lib:
zdoc std.fmt format
print fmt's top level doc comments:
zdoc std.fmt
look up "hello" identifier in a project file:
zdoc ./src/main.zig hello
search across all .zig files starting from the src directory,
recursively and following symlinks:
zdoc ./src hello
---
that's about all it can do for now. a future version may include search
syntax for public struct fields, enum tags and other constructs, like so:
zdoc std.foo.bar .somefield
for some types, zig may log an error reading something like,
"renderingExpression for ... unimplemented". that's because i commented out
a big chunk of rendering cases in src/output.zig which was adapted from
std/zig/render.zig, to suppress definitions output.
if you see an error like this, please create an issue or send a code change.
