javadoc: Generate documentation with a specific encoding.
$ javadoc -docencoding ${UTF-8} ${path-to-java_source_code}
try on your machine
This command is used to generate documentation in HTML format from Java source code. Here is the breakdown of the command:
javadoc
: This is the command-line tool used to generate the documentation.-docencoding ${UTF-8}
: This option specifies the encoding of the output documentation. In this case, it is set to UTF-8, which supports a wide range of characters and is commonly used for internationalization.${path-to-java_source_code}
: This is the path to the directory or file containing the Java source code for which you want to generate the documentation. You need to replace${path-to-java_source_code}
with the actual path to your Java source code.
By running this command, Javadoc will process the Java source code and create HTML files containing the documentation for classes, interfaces, methods, and other elements in the source code. The output HTML files will be saved in the current working directory or in the specified output directory, depending on additional options or settings.
