%% @doc Interface for calling EDoc from Erlang startup options.
%%
%% The following is an example of typical usage in a Makefile:
%% ```docs:
%%            erl -noshell -run edoc_run application "'$(APP_NAME)'" \
%%              '"."' '[{def,{vsn,"$(VSN)"}}]'
%% '''
%% (note the single-quotes to avoid shell expansion, and the
%% double-quotes enclosing the strings).
%%
%% <strong>New feature in version 0.6.9</strong>: It is no longer
%% necessary to write `-s init stop' last on the command line in order
%% to make the execution terminate. The termination (signalling success
%% or failure to the operating system) is now built into these
%% functions.

-export([file/1, application/1, packages/1, files/1, toc/1]).

-compile({no_auto_import,[error/1]}).

-import(edoc_report, [report/2, error/1]).


%% @spec application([string()]) -> none()
%%
%% @doc Calls {@link edoc:application/3} with the corresponding
%% arguments. The strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant
%% terms. The list can be either `[App]', `[App, Options]' or `[App,
%% Dir, Options]'. In the first case {@link edoc:application/1} is
%% called instead; in the second case, {@link edoc:application/2} is
%% called.
%%
%% The function call never returns; instead, the emulator is
%% automatically terminated when the call has completed, signalling
%% success or failure to the operating system.

%% @spec files([string()]) -> none()
%%
%% @doc Calls {@link edoc:files/2} with the corresponding arguments. The
%% strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant terms. The list can
%% be either `[Files]' or `[Files, Options]'. In the first case, {@link
%% edoc:files/1} is called instead.

%% @spec packages([string()]) -> none()

%% @spec file([string()]) -> none()
%%
%% @deprecated This is part of the old interface to EDoc and is mainly
%% kept for backwards compatibility. The preferred way of generating
%% documentation is through one of the functions {@link application/1},
%% {@link packages/1} and {@link files/1}.
%%
%% @doc Calls {@link edoc:file/2} with the corresponding arguments. The
%% strings in the list are parsed as Erlang constant terms. The list can
%% be either `[File]' or `[File, Options]'. In the first case, an empty
%% list of options is passed to {@link edoc:file/2}.
%%
%% The following is an example of typical usage in a Makefile:
%% ```$(DOCDIR)/%.html:%.erl
%%            erl -noshell -run edoc_run file '"$<"' '[{dir,"$(DOCDIR)"}]' \
