Allows adding <inheritdoc/> tags to XML comments in C# source code to inherit XML comments from base classes, interfaces, and similar methods. Eliminates unwanted copying and pasting of duplicate XML comments and automatically keeps XML comments synchronized.

XML comments (starting with ///) are compiled into XML documentation files for each assembly by the normal build process. InheritDoc post processes these XML documentation files to inherit XML comments as needed. This approach makes the XML comments compatible with other documentation tools, accessible by Intellisense, and packagable into a Nuget package if distributing a library.

This is the command line version (InheritDocLib contains the same functionality in .NET assembly for programmatic access).
