EXAMPLE

35       Given the following directory structure:
36
37          docs
38          ├── index.rst
39          └── ...
40          foobar
41          ├── foo
42          │   └── __init__.py
43          └── bar
44              ├── __init__.py
45              └── baz
46                  └── __init__.py
47
48       and assuming docs/index.rst contained the following:
49
50          Modules
51          =======
52
53          .. autosummary::
54             :toctree: modules
55
56             foobar.foo
57             foobar.bar
58             foobar.bar.baz
59
60       If you run the following:
61
62          $ PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-autodoc doc/index.rst
63
64       then the following stub files will be created in docs:
65
66          docs
67          ├── index.rst
68          └── modules
69              ├── foobar.bar.rst
70              ├── foobar.bar.baz.rst
71              └── foobar.foo.rst
72
73       and each of those files will contain a autodoc directive and some other
74       information.
