$ cargo doc --open

try on your machine

The command "cargo doc --open" is a command used in the Rust programming language ecosystem. It is used to generate documentation for a Rust project and open it in a web browser.

Here's what each part of the command means:

"cargo" is a command-line tool that comes with the Rust programming language. It is used for various development tasks such as building, testing, and managing dependencies.
"doc" is a subcommand of cargo, which is used to generate documentation for a Rust project. It analyzes the source code, comments, and metadata in the project and generates HTML documentation based on it.
"--open" is an optional flag that can be added to the "cargo doc" command. When this flag is specified, it tells cargo to open the generated documentation in the default web browser once the generation process is complete. This makes it convenient to immediately view and navigate the documentation without manually finding and opening the HTML files.

So, when you run the command "cargo doc --open" in your project directory, it will generate documentation for your Rust project and automatically open it in your default web browser.
