-This generates an intermediate representation of the declarations and their
-associated information in the specified TUs, serialized to LLVM bitcode.
+The tool can also be used on a single file or multiple files if a build path is
+passed with the ``-p`` flag.
 
-As currently implemented, the tool is only able to parse TUs that can be

+Output
+======
+
+:program:`clang-doc` produces a directory of documentation. One file is produced
+for each namespace and record in the project source code, containing all
+documentation (including contained functions, methods, and enums) for that item.
+
+The top-level directory is configurable through the ``output`` flag:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  $ clang-doc -output=output/directory/ compile_commands.json
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Configuration for :program:`clang-doc` is currently limited to command-line options.
+In the future, it may develop the ability to use a configuration file, but no such
+efforts are currently in progress.
