If you want to determine how many items in your crate are documented, pass this flag to rustdoc.
When it receives this flag, it will count the public items in your crate that have documentation,
and print out the counts and a percentage instead of generating docs.

Public items that are not documented can be seen with the built-in `missing_docs` lint. Private
items that are not documented can be seen with Clippy's `missing_docs_in_private_items` lint.

### `-w`/`--output-format`: output format
Calculating code examples follows these rules:

When using
[`--show-coverage`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustdoc/unstable-features.html#--show-coverage-get-statistics-about-code-documentation-coverage),
passing `--output-format json` will display the coverage information in JSON format. For example,
here is the JSON for a file with one documented item and one undocumented item:
1. These items aren't accounted by default:
* struct/union field
* enum variant
* constant
* static
* typedef
2. If one of the previously listed items has a code example, then it'll be counted.

#### JSON output

When using `--output-format json` with this option, it will display the coverage information in
JSON format. For example, here is the JSON for a file with one documented item and one
undocumented item:

```rust
/// This item has documentation
pub fn foo() {}

pub fn no_documentation() {}

### `-w`/`--output-format`: output format

`--output-format json` emits documentation in the experimental
[JSON format](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2963). `--output-format html` has no effect,
and is also accepted on stable toolchains.

It can also be used with `--show-coverage`. Take a look at its
[documentation](#--show-coverage-get-statistics-about-code-documentation-coverage) for more
information.

Another use case would be to run a test inside an emulator, or through a Virtual Machine.

### `--show-coverage`: get statistics about code documentation coverage

This option allows you to get a nice overview over your code documentation coverage, including both
doc-comments and code examples in the doc-comments. Example:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --show-coverage
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| File | Documented | Percentage | Examples | Percentage |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| lib.rs | 4 | 100.0% | 1 | 25.0% |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| Total | 4 | 100.0% | 1 | 25.0% |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
```

You can also use this option with the `--output-format` one:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --show-coverage --output-format json
{"lib.rs":{"total":4,"with_docs":4,"total_examples":4,"with_examples":1}}

Calculating code examples follows these rules:
