Try this:

    erl -noshell -run edoc_run files '["my","list","of","files"]' \
      '[{opt, "ions"}]' -s init stop

But if you have organized your files as an application, i suggest:

    erl -noshell -run edoc_run application $APP '[{opt, "ions"}]' \
      -s init stop

Check the Makefile for edoc itself for a concrete usage example.
