CDocs

CDocs, or CDOCS, is a term used in technology and information management to refer to a family of documentation tools, standards, and practices rather than a single, unified product. The exact meaning of CDOCS varies by domain, but common usage centers on documentation that is closely tied to its source material and lifecycle.

In software development, CDOCS typically describes platforms or workflows that generate and maintain living documentation from source code, configuration files, and API specifications. Such systems often integrate with version control, continuous integration, and package management to ensure that docs stay synchronized with code. Features commonly associated with CDOCS-style tools include inline code annotations, automated API reference generation, searchable repositories of tutorials and examples, and support for multiple output formats (HTML, PDF, etc.).

In governance and knowledge management, CDOCS may refer to documentation standards or templates designed to standardize how information is recorded and published. This use emphasizes consistency, discoverability, and reuse across teams or departments.

In healthcare and other regulated fields, CDOCS can denote clinical or operational documentation systems intended to capture, store, and manage records in compliance with regulatory requirements. In such contexts, CDOCS may integrate with electronic health records or enterprise content management.

The term CDOCS has no single canonical implementation, and instances of its use are often company- or domain-specific. See also disambiguation references for specific products or standards bearing the CDOCS abbreviation.
