Calls edoc:application/3 with the corresponding arguments. The strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant terms. The list can be either [App], [App, Options] or [App, Dir, Options]. In the first case edoc:application/1 is called instead; in the second case, edoc:application/2 is called.

The function call never returns; instead, the emulator is automatically terminated when the call has completed, signalling success or failure to the operating system.

This function is deprecated: This is part of the old interface to EDoc and is mainly kept for backwards compatibility. The preferred way of generating documentation is through one of the functions application/1 and files/1.

Calls edoc:file/2 with the corresponding arguments. The strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant terms. The list can be either [File] or [File, Options]. In the first case, an empty list of options is passed to edoc:file/2.

The following is an example of typical usage in a Makefile:

     $(DOCDIR)/%.html:%.erl
             erl -noshell -run edoc_run file '"$<"' '[{dir,"$(DOCDIR)"}]' \
               -s init stop

The function call never returns; instead, the emulator is automatically terminated when the call has completed, signalling success or failure to the operating system.

Calls edoc:files/2 with the corresponding arguments. The strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant terms. The list can be either [Files] or [Files, Options]. In the first case, edoc:files/1 is called instead.

The function call never returns; instead, the emulator is automatically terminated when the call has completed, signalling success or failure to the operating system.
