Want to search your local offline rust `std` documentation,
|
||
|
|
with a quick command from your terminal?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<!-- more -->
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Preparation:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Download the rust documentation:
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ rustup component add rust-docs
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setup a bash function (you might need to replace `firefox` with your browser):
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
function rman() {
|
||
|
|
firefox "file://$(rustc --print sysroot)/share/doc/rust/html/std/index.html?search=$@"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fire up your browser with the search window from your terminal:
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
$ rman MaybeUnit
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ok... it's not `man` and `apropos` ... but good enough for now.
