csc: Automatically generate XML documentation.
$ csc /doc:${path-to-output-xml} ${path-to-input_file-cs}
try on your machine

The command csc is a command-line tool provided by the Microsoft .NET framework for compiling C# source code files (.cs) into executable or library files.

In this specific command, /doc:${path-to-output-xml} is an option passed to the csc tool. The /doc option is used to generate an XML documentation file for the C# source code being compiled. The ${path-to-output-xml} is a placeholder for the actual file path and name of the XML file that will be generated as output.

${path-to-input_file-cs} is another placeholder representing the path and name of the C# source code file that needs to be compiled. It is the input to the csc tool.

By executing this command, the csc tool will compile the specified C# source code file and generate an XML documentation file as specified by the /doc option, using the provided output file path.
