443+ ## ` --emit ` : control the types of output for rustdoc to emit 
444+ 
445+ This flag controls the types of output by rustdoc. It accepts a comma-separated
446+ list of values, and may be specified multiple times. The valid emit kinds are:
447+ 
448+ -  ` toolchain-shared-resources `  --- Generates shared static files that their
449+   contents are tied to a specific toolchain version. These are written with a
450+   filename that includes a hash of their contents, so they are safe to cache with the
451+   change if the toolchain version or their contents change, so it is safe to
452+   cache them wit the ` Cache-Control: immutable `  directive.
453+ -  ` invocation-specific `  --- Generates files based on the crate(s) being
454+   documented. These file names need to be deterministic so there is no
455+   content-hash in their file names.
456+ -  ` dep-info `  --- Generates a file with Makefile syntax that indicates all the
457+   source files that were loaded to document the crate. The default output
458+   filename is ` CRATE_NAME.d ` . This emit type can can optionally be followed by
459+   ` = `  to specify an explicit output path, for example,
460+   ` --emit=dep-info=/path/to/foo.d ` . The output can be sent to stdout by
461+   specifying ` - `  as the path (e.g., ` --emit=dep-info=- ` ).
462+ 
463+ Using this flag looks like this:
464+ 
465+ ``` bash 
466+ $ rustdoc src/lib.rs --emit=toolchain-shared-resources,invocation-specific,dep-info=/path/too/build/cache/foo.d
467+ ``` 
468+ 
469+ If not specified, the default emit types would be
470+ ` --emit=toolchain-shared-resources,invocation-specific ` .
