# rustdoc-stripper [](https://travis-ci.org/GuillaumeGomez/rustdoc-stripper)
`rustdoc-stripper` is a tool used to remove rustdoc comments from your code and save them in a
`comments.cmts` file if you want to regenerate them.
### Options
Available options for rustdoc-stripper are:
* -h | --help : Displays this help
* -s | --strip : Strips the current folder files and create a file with rustdoc information (comments.cmts by default)
* -g | --regenerate : Recreate files with rustdoc comments from reading rustdoc information file (comments.cmts by default)
* -n | --no-file-output : Display rustdoc information directly on stdout
* -i | --ignore [filename]: Ignore the specified file, can be repeated as much as needed, only used when stripping files, ignored otherwise
* -d | --dir [directory] : Specify a directory path to work on, optional
* -v | --verbose : Activate verbose mode
* -f | --force : Remove confirmation demands
* -m | --ignore-macros : macros in hierarchy will be ignored (so only macros with doc comments will appear in the comments file)
* -o | --comment-file : specify the file within you want to save rustdoc information
By default, rustdoc is run with -s option:
```Shell
./rustdoc-stripper -s
```
IMPORTANT: Only files ending with '.rs' will be stripped/regenerated.
## Ignore doc-comment
You can prevent a doc comment to be stripped by prepending it by `// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next`.
You can mark the end of the block to ignore with `// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next-stop`.
Example:
```rust
// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next
/// existing comment
// rustdoc-stripper-ignore-next-stop
/// This part will be removed when running rustdoc-stripper!
pub unsafe fn new() -> Foo {}
```
