"perldoc -f" for Perl6/Rakudo
Here is the tool you are looking for:
- p6doc tool contains
-f
option - Online version
perl6 --doc
option
If you don't have it installed, install it with zef
:
zef install p6doc
If you don't have zef
installed, install it from zef's github repo.
Hmm... This may not be exactly what you want, but:
Perl6::Doc - all useful Perl 6 Docs in your command line
This includes p6doc
command line utility, which can be used to read Synopses thusly:
p6doc s05 # Browse Synopsis 05
The full list of synopsis is available here: http://perlcabal.org/syn/ ; Perl 6's built-in functions is s29: http://perlcabal.org/syn/S29.html
I never saw an individual per-function documentation like perldoc -f fname
, though.
Also, on a related note there's a Periodic Table of Perl 6 operators
The perl --doc is actually a red herring.
The command is "p6doc"
% p6doc
What documentation do you want to read?
Examples: p6doc Type::Str
p6doc Type::Str.split
You can also look up specific method/routine definitions:
p6doc -f push
