+ <modulesummary>Typer, a Type annotator for ERlang programs.
+ </modulesummary>
+ <description>
+ <p>TypEr shows type information for Erlang modules to the user.
+ Additionally, it can annotate the code of files with such type
+ information.</p>

+ <section>
+ <marker id="command_line"></marker>
+ <title>Using TypEr from the Command Line</title>
+ <p>TypEr is used from the command-line. This section provides a
+ brief description of the options. The same information can be
+ obtained by writing the following in a shell:</p>
+
+ <code type="none">
+typer --help</code>
+
+ <p><em>Usage:</em></p>
+
+ <code type="none">
+typer [--help] [--version] [--plt PLT] [--edoc]
+ [--show | --show-exported | --annotate | --annotate-inc-files]
+ [-Ddefine]* [-I include_dir]* [-pa dir]* [-pz dir]*
+ [-T application]* [-r] file*</code>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>* denotes that multiple occurrences of the option are possible.</p>
+ </note>
+
+ <p><em>Options:</em></p>
+
+ <taglist>
+
+ <tag><c>--r</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Search directories recursively for .erl files below them.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>--show</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Print type specifications for all functions on stdout.
+ (This is the default behaviour; this option is not really
+ needed.)</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--show-exported</c> (or <c>show_exported</c>)</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Same as <c>--show</c>, but print specifications for
+ exported functions only. Specs are displayed sorted
+ alphabetically on the function's name.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--annotate</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Annotate the specified files with type specifications.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--annotate-inc-files</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Same as <c>--annotate</c> but annotates all
+ <c>-include()</c> files as well as all .erl files. (Use this
+ option with caution - it has not been tested much).</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--edoc</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Print type information as Edoc <c>@spec</c> comments, not
+ as type specs.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--plt</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Use the specified dialyzer PLT file rather than the default one.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>-T file*</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>The specified file(s) already contain type specifications
+ and these are to be trusted in order to print specs for the
+ rest of the files. (Multiple files or dirs, separated by
+ spaces, can be specified.)</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>-Dname</c> (or <c>-Dname=value</c>)</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Pass the defined name(s) to TypEr. (**)</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>-I</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Pass the include_dir to TypEr. (**)</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>-pa dir</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Include <c>dir</c> in the path for Erlang. This is useful
+ when analyzing files that have <c>-include_lib()</c>
+ directives or use parse transforms.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>-pz dir</c></tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Include <c>dir</c> in the path for Erlang. This is useful
+ when analyzing files that have <c>-include_lib()</c>
+ directives or use parse transforms.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ <tag><c>--version</c> (or <c>-v</c>)</tag>
+ <item>
+ <p>Print the TypEr version and some more information and
+ exit.</p>
+ </item>
+
+ </taglist>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>** options <c>-D</c> and <c>-I</c> work both
+ from the command line and in the TypEr GUI; the syntax of
+ defines and includes is the same as that used by
+ <seealso marker="erts:erlc">erlc(1)</seealso>.</p>
