+# Command-line arguments
+
+Here's the list of arguments you can pass to `rustdoc`:
+
+## `-h`/`--help`: help
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc -h
+$ rustdoc --help
+```
+
+This will show `rustdoc`'s built-in help, which largely consists of
+a list of possible command-line flags.
+
+Some of `rustdoc`'s flags are unstable; this page only shows stable
+options, `--help` will show them all.
+
+## `-V`/`--version`: version information
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc -V
+$ rustdoc --version
+```
+
+This will show `rustdoc`'s version, which will look something
+like this:
+
+```text
+rustdoc 1.17.0 (56124baa9 2017-04-24)
+```
+
+## `-v`/`--verbose`: more verbose output
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc -v src/lib.rs
+$ rustdoc --verbose src/lib.rs
+```
+
+This enables "verbose mode", which means that more information will be written
+to standard out. What is written depends on the other flags you've passed in.
+For example, with `--version`:
+
+```text
+$ rustdoc --verbose --version
+rustdoc 1.17.0 (56124baa9 2017-04-24)
+binary: rustdoc
+commit-hash: hash
+commit-date: date
+host: host-triple
+release: 1.17.0
+LLVM version: 3.9
+```
+
+## `-r`/`--input-format`: input format
+
+This flag is currently ignored; the idea is that `rustdoc` would support various
+input formats, and you could specify them via this flag.
+
+Rustdoc only supports Rust source code and Markdown input formats. If the
+file ends in `.md` or `.markdown`, `rustdoc` treats it as a Markdown file.
+Otherwise, it assumes that the input file is Rust.
+
+
+## `-w`/`--output-format`: output format
+
+This flag is currently ignored; the idea is that `rustdoc` would support
+various output formats, and you could specify them via this flag.
+
+Rustdoc only supports HTML output, and so this flag is redundant today.
+
+## `-o`/`--output`: output path
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -o target\\doc
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --output target\\doc
+```
+
+By default, `rustdoc`'s output appears in a directory named `doc` in
+the current working directory. With this flag, it will place all output
+into the directory you specify.
+
+
+## `--crate-name`: controlling the name of the crate
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --crate-name mycrate
+```
+
+By default, `rustodc` assumes that the name of your crate is the same name
+as the `.rs` file. `--crate-name` lets you override this assumption with
+whatever name you choose.
+
+## `-L`/`--library-path`: 
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -L target/debug/deps
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --library-path target/debug/deps
+```
+
+If your crate has dependencies, `rustdoc` needs to know where to find them.
+Passing `--library-path` gives `rustdoc` a list of places to look for these
+dependencies.
+
+This flag takes any number of directories as its argument, and will use all of
+them when searching.
+
+
+## `--cfg`: passing configuration flags
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --cfg feature="foo"
+```
+
+This flag accepts the same values as `rustc --cfg`, and uses it to configure
+compilation. The example above uses `feature`, but any of the `cfg` values
+are acceptable.
+
+## `--extern`: specify a dependency's location
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --extern lazy-static=/path/to/lazy-static
+```
+
+Similar to `--library-path`, `--extern` is about specifying the location
+of a dependency. `--library-path` provides directories to search in, `--extern`
+instead lets you specify exactly which dependency is located where.
+
+
+## `--plugin-path`: loading plugins
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --plugin-path=/path/to/plugins
+```
+
+Similar to `--library-path`, but for plugins. For more, see
+the [chapter on plugins](plugins.html).
+
+See also: `--plugins`.
+
+## `--passes`: add more rustdoc passes
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc --passes list
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --passes strip-priv-imports
+```
+
+An argument of "list" will print a list of possible "rustdoc passes", and other
+arguments will be the name of which passes to run in addition to the defaults.
+
+For more details on passes, see [the chapter on them](passes.html).
+
+See also `--no-defaults`.
+
+## `--plugins`: 
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --plugins foo bar
+```
+
+For more, see the [chapter on plugins](plugins.html).
+
+See also: `--plugin-path`.
+
+## `--no-defaults`: don't run default passes
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --no-defaults
+```
+
+By default, `rustdoc` will run several passes over your code. This
+removes those defaults, allowing you to use `--passes` to specify
+exactly which passes you want.
+
+For more details on passes, see [the chapter on them](passes.html).
+
+See also `--passes`.
+
+## `--test`: run code examples as tests
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --test
+```
+
+This flag will run your code examples as tests. For more, see [the chapter
+on documentation tests](documentation-tests.html).
+
+See also `--test-args`.
+
+## `--test-args`: 
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --test --test-args ignored
+```
+
+This flag will pass options to the test runner when running documentation tests.
+For more, see [the chapter on documentation tests](documentation-tests.html).
+
+See also `--test`.
+
+## `--target`: 
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
+```
+
+Similar to the `--target` flag for `rustc`, this generates documentation
+for a target triple that's different than your host triple.
+
+All of the usual caveats of cross-compiling code apply.
+
+## `--markdown-css`: include more CSS files when rendering markdown
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc README.md --markdown-css foo.css
+```
+
+When rendering Markdown files, this will create a `<link>` element in the
+`<head>` section of the generated HTML. For example, with the invocation above,
+
+```html
+<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="foo.css">
+```
+
+will be added.
+
+When rendering Rust files, this flag is ignored.
+
+## `--html-in-header`: include more HTML in <head>
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --html-in-header header.html
+$ rustdoc README.md --html-in-header header.html
+```
+
+This flag takes a list of files, and inserts them into the `<head>` section of
+the rendered documentation.
+
+## `--html-before-content`: include more HTML before the content
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --html-before-content extra.html
+$ rustdoc README.md --html-before-content extra.html
+```
+
+This flag takes a list of files, and inserts them inside the `<body>` tag but
+before the other content `rustodc` would normally produce in the rendered
+documentation.
+
+## `--html-after-content`: include more HTML after the content
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --html-after-content extra.html
+$ rustdoc README.md --html-after-content extra.html
+```
+
+This flag takes a list of files, and inserts them before the `</body>` tag but
+after the other content `rustodc` would normally produce in the rendered
+documentation.
+
+
+## `--markdown-playground-url`: control the location of the playground
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc README.md --markdown-playground-url https://play.rust-lang.org/
+```
+
+When rendering a Markdown file, this flag gives the base URL of the Rust
+Playround, to use for generating `Run` buttons.
+
+
+## `--markdown-no-toc`: don't generate a table of contents
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc README.md --markdown-no-toc
+```
+
+When generating documentation from a Markdown file, by default, `rustdoc` will
+generate a table of contents. This flag supresses that, and no TOC will be
+generated.
+
+
+## `-e`/`--extend-css`: extend rustdoc's CSS
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -e extra.css
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --extend-css extra.css
+```
+
+With this flag, the contents of the files you pass are included at the bottom
+of Rustdoc's `theme.css` file.
+
+While this flag is stable, the contents of `theme.css` are not, so be careful!
+Updates may break your theme extensions.
+
+## `--sysroot`: override the system root
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --sysroot /path/to/sysroot
+```
+
+Similar to `rustc --sysroot`, this lets you change the sysroot `rustdoc` uses
+when compiling your code.
