EXAMPLE

38       Given the following directory structure:
39
40          docs
41          ├── index.rst
42          └── ...
43          foobar
44          ├── foo
45          │   └── __init__.py
46          └── bar
47              ├── __init__.py
48              └── baz
49                  └── __init__.py
50
51       and assuming docs/index.rst contained the following:
52
53          Modules
54          =======
55
56          .. autosummary::
57             :toctree: modules
58
59             foobar.foo
60             foobar.bar
61             foobar.bar.baz
62
63       If you run the following:
64
65          $ PYTHONPATH=. sphinx-autogen docs/index.rst
66
67       then the following stub files will be created in docs:
68
69          docs
70          ├── index.rst
71          └── modules
72              ├── foobar.bar.rst
73              ├── foobar.bar.baz.rst
74              └── foobar.foo.rst
75
76       and each of those files will contain a autodoc directive and some other
77       information.
