#15785: Improve/complete the GHCi :doc command -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sjakobi | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.6.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The `:doc` command, so far implemented as a ''tech preview'', could be a lot nicer: * For a type constructor, it should also show the data constructors and their documentation * It should include documentation on function arguments. * For records it should include any docs on the fields. Overall I think it should work roughly like the `:info` command, but of course enhanced by the docstrings. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15785 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
